Niche for intelligent hardcore

After making and seeing some posts on the Adult Film Database (which is where I heard about this place), I'd suggest there's a major unfilled niche, in adult videos, for hardcore porn with a serious and genuine level of intelligence (e.g., good dialogue, story lines about people actually falling in love, or doing the best they can under difficult situations, etc.). This line of work, if done properly, could create major crossover potential. In all seriousness, there's real money to be made here, by the first person who figures out how to fill this particular niche, which is probably the single largest remaining unfilled niche in all of porn. So, the question becomes, who should an industry outsider submit a 2-page (or shorter) treatment to, if the submitter is actually serious about getting it done?

I'm not so sure. Such a video would cost substantially more to make because there is no infrastructure - no talent, editors or marketing for such a thing.
And given the profit that can be made from a single cheap gonzo flick can make, it's not clear videos like this can make several times the profit, i.e., return-on-investment, especially a when risk-adjusted (the amount of profit on a gonzo flick is understood fairly well, but a hardcore video with plot and theme is an unknown quantity).
Finally, it might be said that this has already been tested before, and that gonzo killed off theme & plot the last time both existed at the same time. It appears most producers reached the conclusion I outlined above - gonzo makes nearly as much revenue and costs far less.

Whores would never be able to project the level of intelligence you would want to get out of a scene.

This isn't the place for these high brow discussions . Go read Tony C's posts at the white hole, and then if you still wonder if there is money to be made with that kind of porn, you can answer your own question by asking, who the fuck is Tony C?

It's probably been 15+ years since a porn scene was re-shot due to a continuity problem, etc.
Like, oops, that's not the same vagina?!
