Don't fall into the trap of thinking that the talent will always remain cheap or affordable.
Everything is in relation to it's surroundings. Studios like Natasha Teen and Latin Girls and Yummy were probably getting a lot less sales when NRX was still up and running. Just the nature of the beast. Meaning, when those scenes didn't sell as well as they are doing now, the girl's shooting for them couldn't really make the case for increasing their pay.
But with the evaporation of the Russian market - alongside Europe and NA going more heavily into OF - these Latina girls are starting to wise up to the value they bring into the traditional porn market. Their beauty was always spectacular, but they were seen as loose and cheap and easy compared to a blonde haired blue eyed bombshell from Russia decided to take two black telephone poles up her bum at the same time. Now that those Russians are gone - the value of the Latina girls likewise has been put into a different context.
What's the plan, though? Just shoot some scenes? Will there be a theme that ties the shoots together? Will the equipment be on par for the shoots to be taken as professional? Will you distribute on Pornbox, or create your own website? How are you going to find not just the traffic, but the customers willing to pay? Will the models you have lined up be the quality needed to compete and make people actively search that content out? Like ...
Is it just a plan to go and shoot some scenes for fun? I mean, nothing wrong with that.
But, if you're actually thinking of stepping foot into South America, I would advise you to have an absolutely air-tight plan with reliable and trusted partners in a completely safe and vetted environment. That sounds impractical, but, even worse, even if that's the situation when you arrive, that situation can change.
I really advise against going the South American route. Even importing the girls. Rates change. If one girl becomes a big hit - and she knows it - she'll ask for a lot more for the upcoming scenes. This is a very tricky business.
Like - I would be more interested in finding a way to subvert the base reality of what exists in Europe to my advantage - rather than go through the process of adding a whole series of extra steps, each of which has the potential to fall through or put everything else, including yourself, into jeopardy.
I mean, you do you. But, when it comes to South America, let me just put it like this ...
Nothing is ever what it really seems.
