Husky:

I would say give it a shot. Here's why: I've reviewed many of CitiBoyz solo titles and they are quite good, and I can see why people would buy them. The trick is that you need to produce an engaging product, and I would wager that it is not easy. Another studio whose solo dvd's sell (I would guess) is Bel Ami.... because they just keep making those 101 Men/BoyWatch solo films.

Another solo project I would recommend for field study would be Rascal Video/ChiChiLarue's Str8 Shots #1 and #2. It's an extremely clever marketing idea - having famous and hot looking straight pornmovie guys participating in a solo project where they know they will be watched by gay guys. My friends have always wanted to borrow those movies.

Now for your target market, which is not twinks..... I would suggest that you go and find a copy of Nob Hill All Stars #1 from Raging Stallion. I think that is the only solo movie they ever did, and it probably didn't sell much. (there wasn't a #2)

But it was really really good; Chris Ward is such a fabulous director, it was interesting watching him switch from sex scenes to simple solos. It's been a awhile, but one thing it had that a lot do not was a good driving musical accompanyment. Most solo movies are just dead silence.

Nob Hill All Stars #1 was the first ever appearance of Shane Rollins, and Michael Brandon performs a jack off solo that made me understand why his own appearances at Nob Hill Theater were so popular.
