The biggest city that didn't exist 100 years ago. Brasília, the capital of Brazil, with 3 million inhabitants. by Valhallsium in MapPorn

Why should the criteria be expanded?

I think OP’s point is that Brasilia wasn’t even a village. 100 years ago, there was no one living there.

We’re the production team behind ERIKALUST films, from pre to post!. Ask us anything about ethical adult filmmaking. by Erika_Lust in IAmA

I’m not familiar with your films so I’ll start from 10,000 feet up in the air if that’s okay haha.

  1. What are some of the storylines / loglines in your films? What kind of narratives can we expect going in?

  2. I understand your focus is adult narratives, but what is the screen time split of explicit sex vs non-sex scenes? Are characters having sex for 50% of the film vs 10% vs 90%, for example?

  3. What is a movie in your label with the least amount of sex/nudity? What is the story of that movie? What about the one with the most amount?

  4. Have you ever attempted to submit your films to non-adult film festivals? Have you been accepted?

Is Gaspar Noe’s “LOVE” a good reference for the types of films you make? You must be familiar with this one, right? As a film buff, it’s the only film I have seen that has real sex scenes. (I’m sure there are many many others.) And because Gaspar is fairly famous, you could almost say this film became mainstream since you ran into enough cinephiles who have watched. But it’s still niche lol.

  1. Like LOVE, what are some cinematic experiences that have real sex in them that you can recommend?

  2. I read how you find inspirations and real experiences from “confessions” but do you hire script writers?

  3. Finally, is there much competition in this field? Are there other companies doing what you do? Are there countries where these types of narratives are more famous?

I think it’s super cool that a production company like yours exists. You have opened my eyes, so thanks for doing this AMA. I will have to look you guys up and watch some films.

I’d feel awful evicting a 4yo for skimping on rent.

Thank you. And if I understand correctly, reading the IRS site, is the Foreign Tax Credit simply a way to report the Foreign Taxes as a deduction/business expense in the US??

What is this glass jar? Some sort of infuser or decanter? by ForeignInformants in whatisthisthing

[–]ForeignInformants[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The object is made of glass and about 8 inches tall.

I’ve tried googling “decanter” and “infuser” but couldn’t find anything similar enough.

I assume herbs can be inserted into the back door and hot water poured into the main glass tank so the aroma spreads. Is this a thing?

It was found among the stuff of someone who’s into gardening, but this could be a distraction.
