Helix Studio
all had an appreciation for what we did. The prime indicator for
our quality became how often we got hard while coming up with
scenarios, filming scenes, editing videos and selecting photos.
There is always a hard dick somewhere in our office and it’s not
always the models. But we keep things professional and only
use boners as way as a gauge to make sure our members are
staying hard too.
How do you recruit models and turn them into major stars?
As we gained some fame, it became very easy for us to recruit
new and hot models. After all, we were providing a safe, clean
and professional yet sexy environment for our young male
models to come and have some of their first sexual experienc-
es, or allow them to play and have some fun with guys they had
only dreamed of being with. Our biggest models, from Sammy
Case and Tommy Anders, to Evan Parker, Andy Taylor, Matthew
Keading and Kyle Ross soon became a beacon for other late
teen and early twentysomethings to come join Helix. We rarely
have to do recruitment like other studios do. Models apply to us.
We have the very difficult task of selecting the few that will get to
star in a Helix production. Although we cater to all ages, some of
our biggest fans are the same age as our models. It’s often hard
to find porn with models the viewer can relate to. They enjoy
seeing people that look like themselves, or the boy in maths
class, or the guy next door. One of the questions we ask appli-
cants is who they would like to have a scene with and try to pair
them with those models first. This helps the on-screen chemistry.
We get applications via our online form and fans who contact our
models via Twitter. The hard part is selection, not recruitment.
Our interview questions and screening process involves deter-
mining an applicant’s desire for sex and their likelihood of being
comfortable in front of a camera and lights. We are one big fam-
ily at Helix and always try to select models who will want to join
that family. We shy away from those who just want to collect a
pay check and leave. This makes our work easier and pleasant.
Our staff looks forward to coming to work every day. Our models
can’t wait to fly in to hang out with us and the other talent. And I
think this translates to great videos for our viewers.
Do you have exclusives that the fans follow or is the studio
the brand itself?
People follow the studio because we consistently find quality
models. From this their fandoms grow until we have exclusives
with their own massive followings of invested people.
we shifted towards creating DVDs after we released stand alone
scenes. We film videos that are grouped into series such as
sports themes, threeways and orgies, bareback DP, college and
student, romantic and sometimes experimental artistic scenes
such as the award winning Sex en Rouge and the more recent
Body Language; we group these together into DVDs. This allows
us to create DVDs that satisfy different fantasies and desires
that viewers have. If you like big booty bottoms, we have a DVD
for that, if you like all blondes we got a DVD with nothing but
blondes, if you like to watch horny jocks playing sports - we have
a movie for that.
Your most successful film is your mega-award winning Helix
Academy. Was that a hard shoot and were you surprised by
its phenomenal reception?
We’ve always had a few fantasies of our own, some came from
watching mainstream TV and sports and some came from our
own personal experiences. There is nothing sexier than a hot
guy playing tennis, baseball or football (American or European)
with sweat running down their backs and gym shorts to outline
their bulge and ass. We shot and will continue to shoot sports-
themed movies specially since many of our models play sports
varying from baseball to football to wrestling to track and field.
But one fantasy stood out for us and fit our niche of young men,
and that is boarding school, college dorms and uniforms. There
is just something about a guy in a uniform that just gets people’s
imagination going. After seeing the popularity of a few scenes we
filmed that revolved around students in the early days of 8teen-
boy and Fratboy, we began work on our most popular movie to
date as you said Helix Academy. Our film crew and staff collabo-
rated to bring to life a fantasy that would be erotic,
cinematic, immersive and timeless. With great attention to detail,
great editing and phenomenal work by some of the best porn-
stars who brought to life the world of freshmen college students
and their sexual experiences in the fantastical Helix Academy.
It’s been followed up by two sequels, and has won several Best
Movie of the Year awards. We plan on working on more in the
future because it’s one of those series that both models and fans
request to be in or watch.
You do both DVDs and online scenes/memberships, how do
you plan this? Do you film scenes to be uploaded several
times a week and if they are good enough expand them into
a film or the opposite way around?
We started by filming for online first and releasing scenes
weekly, but as our website and mobile sites gained popularity
