Adult Director

An adult director, or adult filmmaker, is a person who directs the making of a porn film. An adult director visualizes the script, controlling a film's artistic and dramatic aspects, while guiding the technical crew and porn stars in the fulfillment of their vision.

However, adult directors do not in all countries have absolute artistic control. The director can also be selected by the producer. The producer can in this case have veto power over everything from the script itself to the final cut of the movie, often in anywhere from slight to extreme opposition to the director's vision.

When directing episodes for a TV show, a adult director's responsibilities are somewhat diminished, as the visual look and feel of the series is established, usually by the person billed as the show's executive producer. Those directors who choose or are chosen to work in TV have had to accept that they will not be as lauded, or as well-paid, as their big-screen counterparts.
