I'm from Brazil and I want to produce pornographic films, but I don't know much about the market. What is the initial U$$ value to get started? How do I recruit actresses? What are the associated costs and risks? What is the average monthly profit? Is living only on movie income possible? Thanks.

Where are you living?
Where would you shoot?
Living only on film sales is possible if your product sells fine and your costs are controlled.

Model cost: female - 1200-2000$
Male model-200$-400$
Camera - Rental
Studio - Apartment Rental
Helpers - 2×100$
If the models are from your country(locality), you can skip travel cost or ask model if she's visiting your country, she will notify you. I don't know about legal matters, i hope you don't have to worry about it as you are publishing it in Analvids.
I think you should make Piss drinking movies and anal videos(wet&dry), choose models from the best selling category, see what makes them special,
Anna rey, kaira love, febby twigg's... etc are best Piss/Squirt drinkers, they don't spit, spill or frown, they are natural drinkers, they have commitment to studios. So choosing right model decides your success or failure. Many studios come and go, i tell some of them how to improve, but No one listens. You should be ready to take criticism positively and should listen to your customers(majority). You watch movies and learn camera works, positions, costumes, editing etc. You should have imagination, repetition of same scenarios, backgrounds, apartments can be boring. If you have 5000$ you will start your studio. Always listen, but should have the ability to decide what's best for you.

I see you edited your OP.
Looks Brasil could be a profitable place because of decently low costs for the girls. But please consider you need also 3-4 capable and very reliable studs. Or were you thinking of a Paul Stalker like business model? This studio: https://pornbox.com/application/studio/270

Recruiting models are easy, most models have social media accounts, contact them directly, you'll get their account info from analvids social media accounts

Not in Europe!
No idea about Brasil, but just be aware that model cost is sex act based from 1on1 dry pussy only being the cheapest to 10on1 wet TAP the most expensive.
After a locally set number of studs each stud more to fuck with for the girl is a sum added. In Prague 4on1/5on1 is the basis.
10on1 makes scene more expensive for the girl and you have to pay more studs.

There will always be some pretend to be smart guys(or pretend to be experienced guys), ignore them. You hear everyone, do tte right thing. About the rate, you have to talk to them, rate varies depending experience & publicity, if it's new models you can get them for 1200$, if experienced/best selling you have to pay upto 3000$, talk to girls,

I take this Brasilian prices from the recent civilian escort thread:

If you're clean, and you offer about 20 U$$ more, maybe they'll do it without a condom.

Porn scene usually lasts 3h.
You have to pay also for publishing rights.
Add costs and go, figure!

But ideally you find girls staying with your studio for 3-5 scenes and thus you can create a fan base for them. As a rule of thumb I'd take 1on1 anal = x, DP/DPP = 2x, DAP = 3x.

Whoever you speak about... I sold several DAPs to porn studios over last years and do know the going rates. 3000$ is for a well exposed US girl in Prague, no EU and sure no Russian/Ukrainian girl.

Some sites like Artofzoo, storezoolegal( legal sites as per Columbian law) buy videos from armature producers, it costs only 2000$ to make that kind of videos in your region, they will buy if the quality is good, talk to them if you are planning to shoot for those videos, but finding models can be a problem, talk to local hookers, 1 out of 10 will agree
