Effective at the end of April 2014 Dirty Muse, Fucking Fantasies and PBH Pictures will no longer film any new videos. I have filed a loss for 3 years running now and my other business and my 'Day' job do much better, so they get my attention. Part of the reason I have kept Dirty Muse running this long has been because of my fans and great customers. Its just not making enough money to continue making the movies I want to make, I refuse to lower my standards, I dont make messy movies for my own jollies, I make em to make a profit. Dirty Muse chews up so much of my time its just become a chore to run and no longer fun. I will offer the company, equipment and material up for sale, check the Producers Lounge if you are interested in the company, material or equipment.


Owning an 'Adult' production company has not been good for my personal love life either, for the last 6 years all I have dated is fetish models and while I love many of them and some I call friends, they all have a love life just as fucked up as mine is, terrible relationship material! I would like to date real girls again, have a real relationship. Most regular women will not date an adult producer, some say they can deal with it but eventually they cant


Until the company sells (If it sells) my videos will still be available in my UMD store and on my Clips4Sale store, I am currently negotiating with my old company Wicked Pictures for the sale of the material. In the mean time my Web Site will redirect to the C4S store as I am canceling my merchant account (Costs $mucho). I will keep my cloud storage available for a few months, PM me if you want access. It will not be cheap because that service is too expensive for the occasional user. I will no longer be available for tech support either; sorry I have to focus on the business that makes money.


I will still be around, I love the UMD and this community, hell I was here right at the very beginning helping Rob Blaine make movies, I will still check into the UMD, just not several times a day, I still have a serious Mud Fetish, I will keep my heated Mud pit for personal fun and friends usage. Thanks to all those UMD users who have been loyal customers and supporters of my work, I probably would have quit last year if it was not for you. This is a great community and I will always be part of it, just not a producer, I have met some great people in here and some real sleazy lying assholes too, but overall everyone is great.

Phil

Best wishes to you in your other endeavors! It's definitely tough making a buck in this game.

Phil.

In a way, I don't think it is sad news. It's actually good news, because you are closing the book on a chapter of your life that wasn't working out for you. Personally, I'd rather you stopped making awesome wam material, than carried on doing it and making a loss. I'm sure most people (like 99+%) would agree.

You've produced some of the best material out there. In time it will resell over and over and again, until hopefully you've made up for the losses of the last 3 years.

Sorry to hear this Phil.

I agree with the previous comments in the sense that it's probably better for you personally, but it's a sad sign of the times. I think DM would have thrived some years ago.

In any case, best of luck to you. I'm glad you're still going to hang out here.

You make videos?





I kid, I kid.

Sorry to hear it came down to an either/or situation for you, but as others have said, you have to do what is best for you.

Too bad you aren't selling your heated mud pit. I could purchase it, and have it sent over here on one of those drone couriers that will be popping up.


A bucket at a time.

Take care.

Sad to hear this from you,Phil...anyway,I wish you have all the best from life, all the things you haven't got yet...take care,I miss you!

Ed

Best of luck! I'm good friends with a girl who has shot for you before for a couple of scenes, and she spoke very highly of you.

All the best!

Hope you're successful in your new ventures Phil - I'll have to make sure I snap up the videos of yours I don't own yet - it's all quality material!!!

Hi Phil

Sorry to see you leave but I am sure you will do very well in your other ventures and finding the right woman. I am still looking too LOL LOL

Lenny

Sorry to hear this.

May it get better

Sorry to see you go, but thank you for all you have given us over the years! Best of luck in life!

...quality vids, man, from day one...and I can relate to much of your reasoning here....do what ya gotta do...best wishes!

Realized some of the newer vids are not on the UMD store. Is the membership site gone for good?

First Splosh, now this...

This is indeed depressing news. DM never aligned with my own messy preferences quite as much as I'd hoped, but the interest in quality was always evident.

I'm confused, though -- on Friday you announced that Danielle Trixie was exclusive to DM and that you were preparing your mud pit deck for the summer. Why the sudden change of heart? (And does whoever buy your business get to keep Danielle, too?!)

Also, Phil, seconding lchris001's question above, could you clarify what purchasing options are still currently available? It looks like it's still possible to buy a membership via the DM site but I'm now hesitant to do so based on the content of your initial post.

Phil, I'm really sorry to hear this! You've done a ton of amazing work here!

AND, you basically introduced Danielle Trixie to us!

You've been around since the early days, and worked with one of the top respected producers of quality WAM, Rob!

And you've had several production companies doing WAM vids for quite a while now! I really enjoyed and appreciated the bondage, humiliation, and good ol' mess that you had in your vids!

But real life comes first, and I can imagine what you mean when you say that "regular" women don't want to hook up with an "Adult" producer!

So good luck with your other business and your search for the right woman!

We'll look forward to seeing you here when you drop in!

:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Phil, I echo everyone's sentiment in saying that you have produced some of the best videos out there and I'm glad that you will stick around when your schedule permits. In closing, I wish you the best of luck in all of your future business endeavors as well as the search for the right woman that suits you. Furthermore, thank you for keeping all of us entertained over the years with Dirty Muse. :notworthy:

Wow thanks everyone, this is why I have gone on as long as I already have, you guys rock. My taxes are always complicated, Day job, 2 companies, Children, house, overseas investments. I was warned that if I file another year of loss I am liable to getting audited, plus on principle Dirty Muse has made a loss for the last 3 years, if it can't stand on it's own two feet something is wrong. Mostly my fault, I spend a lot on making the video's and upgrade equipment all the time, just nothing left to report as a profit. It was down another 40% for 2013 according to my CPA, chews up all my free time, it just makes sens to stop making movies. I never planned this, it just happened during a financial planning meeting with my CPA, talked it over with friends and this is the only logical answer.

I have the merchant account until the end of the month, so you can buy a membership until then. After that time you can still get all my video's as individual movies from my UMD store or on my Clips4Sale store (http://clips4sale.com/store/44318) I will also keep the cloud storage going so PM me and I will organize payment via paypal and send you direct links to the storage. I am talking to a good friend about selling the video's, I have no idea if that will happen or not but I am not going to turn down $30K If the sale does go thru I will have to take both stores down and the cloud storage. But I will keep them all up until (if) that happens.

I must admit the writing has been on the wall for some time now, My good friend and fellow producer EJ quit last year for relationship issues, his new partner Lola Lynn also quit modeling and now works at Supercuts. My good friend Jordan Kingsley quit porn and modeling too, now she is back in NJ with her family, Marcus London and many, many other friends in the business have just quit, some for personal reasons, many because of the lousy economy. Laws are getting harder to comply with, charges for adult related services are getting higher, not lower, even some of the bigger companies are having issues. There is no room for hi end productions any more, porn is too expensive to shoot compared to the sales I get out of it. WAM is a pain in the ass to shoot too, I have been clearing up mess for years, and years. Most people on the UMD prefer the girl next door, I am just old school and like mega hot porn stars in my fantasies, the girls that live next door to me are not a turn on. LOL

Its been loads of fun guys, seen a lot of pervy WAM stuff over the years. My last shoot is on Saturday with Danielle, she is also shooting for my other non adult business for me, Danielle also models for a still shoots for me again non WAM related. I will put my re-edit of Vixen up next month along with what I shoot the Saturday. Thinking about tying Danielle up and pushing her in the deep end of the Mud Pit


Phil

Phil, you have been an icon in this community and your contributions will be missed.

I get where you're coming from, and you're right, you have to do what's best for you.

Although it might seem difficult now, I think that everything happens for a reason, and I'm sure that you will eventually get to where you want and need to be in life.

Best of luck to you.

Thank you for all that you have done for this community.:notworthy:

Glad you will still be around here once in a while.

Kisses,


PGKay

I can relate to that...we have been trying to get our own processor for some time but they severely limit what you can do and they want you to pay $1000s in fees upfront.

Practically eliminating what little you have left after selling vids.

It's a tradgedy to see what is, and i think i can speak for a lot of the community when i say this, the end of an iconic company. When I first found this site yours were my favourites Phil, and i think tehy always will be.

But you have to look after yourself, and i wish you absolutely every success no matter what comes your way. :notworthy:

Even though I was never going to be a customer, I'm sorry to hear this news, even just from the few previews I saw it was obvious that Dirty Muse's production values were of the absolute highest quality, and those who like their wam nude and sexy have lost a truly talented and professional producer.

Glad to know you'll still be around the forums from time to time, your thoughts and insights are always interesting and well worth reading.

You never once wavered in your vision of what a wam scene should be. It was always top-notch. I'm glad that you are not taking yourself and your material out of the wam world altogether, as you're a "founding member." Your link to your c4s store is not in our directory... You should add it!

M

Sorry Jay, I really have no choice. Don't worry I still have a huge WAM fetish, lots of the girls will still be hanging around my place, in fact Danielle will be here again Friday night after next, you think I can allow Danielle to hang around without making her messy? Hopefully Messy Lady and her man will be here towards the end of summer, I am sure they will want to do some shoots here...

MM I have added my C4S site to my profile.

Phil

Ah Phil, been there done that, so much of what you've gone through is what I've experienced too and why I don't distribute my material any more. Tried my best to keep you keepin' on with those mudpits, but, in the end, and isn't that a sad thing, I'm quite happy with just me and my mudpits and no video fucking bullshit! Enjoy your mudpit and I'll enjoy mine, the mud community sucks!...

I think we all owe Phil a very great debt of gratitude for being the one producer who consistently sought to show actual male/female sex in the mud. Thanks Phil for all the great scenes no one else will film! I'll miss you!!!

Sad news. Just want to wish you the best for wherever your life takes you. Without wanting to criticise any of the other producers on here the quality of your material was second to none!
Thanks again and good luck!

I just wanted to say thanks and much respect for the amazing work you have done.

Thank so much, QM I will get down to our favorite Mud Pits once in a blue moon, but not to film, just to fuck my G/F or just have some fun. As always I will give you a heads up.

I have always tried to produce the best material out there, its just not enough to keep the company running! My other business makes more money, I had to choose.

Actually I have Danielle Trixie arriving at my place later tonight, some other filming tomorrow a still shoot (I do still photography just for fun) and I am going to throw Danielle in my Mud Pit that is looking really, really nice right now, its 90 Deg outside and sunny, perfect for a deep, full coverage wallow. If you guys had the choice to jump in the pit with her or film it what would you do?

Phil

I sure wouldn't stand there and *watch* and film it! I'd be in there with her in a heartbeat!

Norman

Well I am no longer a producer but we did have fun, in fact the next day this is all that was left of her:
