As in many other industries – including fashion and music – this has left many performers and other professionals without work, or led them to explore different, more socially-distant, avenues. The Los Angeles-based Vixen Media Group has offered to help with the latter. To ease the transition to different production methods and offset the financial burden, the group is providing performers with packages of equipment and props worth $250,000. Performers selected to receive the packages will also be paid directly for the content they produce, which will feature in the company’s new series, aptly titled: Intimates. “Vixen Media Group has always been known for promoting the art of adult performance and unprecedented quality,” says Kayden Kross, the group’s director, in a press release. “We aim to showcase models’ beauty through content that stands above the rest, and we remain committed to these values as the day-to-day operations of our production team shifts.” Vixen Media Group owns a variety of studios, producing some of the most popular porn on the internet. “Vixen will be looking to work with a variety of models in different formats, be it with couples, roommates, solo performers,” a spokesperson tells Vice. “Beyond creating unique content, the true goal of this initiative is for us to offer an opportunity of substance, both creatively and monetarily, to the performers during such a volatile time.” Escape the algorithm!
