I must say that when we first went into this area we did lose mainstream clients as they felt it was not something they wanted to become associated with. I think it is important to keep the two sides seperate and try and have different names and locations. Also, I agree with your view that a full disclosure must be sought to keep the peace with the actors. It is one of the things that makes true ENF films difficult, but is something that we feel we can work around to make a good run of films.

Did you begin your company with two groups, or did you branch off the adult stuff at a later date? If later, how difficult was that transition? I'd be interested in hearing about your experience on making both studios productive without creating conflict. We have two offices as well, but they are both under the same name.
The acting and the directing is what is going to make a good ENF film. I'm interested in hearing about how your production proceeds. Depending on the scope of the project, I think you may need more pre-production time than you outlined. Finding the right cast will be essential, and finding the right storyline will drive the whole thing. I think that's going to take some serious time to do it right.
I'm genuinely curious about this because we have considered doing this before. Would you be shooting on film or video? Would it mostly be studio shoots, or location shoots? I guess I'm interested to see how big of a scope the production would be. Do you have a target for distribution (online vs. retail vs. cable)?
I wish you well with this project. Although I believe it will be challenging, I think if done correctly the end result could generate a good return on investment.
