The porn business for sites paying this money is crap because the customers when they do eventually convert don't stay long, cancel ot charge back. If you're selling crap, expect crap sales and returns.

Besides, my guess was carefully calculated according to this:
3 girls, 3 boys, 3 hours

a) Czech amateur first/second timer girls - 300 bucks per girl per day = 900$
b) Czech amateur guys - 100 bucks per guy per day - 300$
c) 1 broke ass Czech producer shooting this in his apartment (no location cost) - 200$ for his work / profit
----------
total 1400 $

Can it be done for that price ? Yes of course it can, if you don't take the models via agencies and have a very desperate producer.

Dont underestimate the power of broke ass desperate people who can't get any job.
I love it watching the clueless talk about subjects they know nothing about. I never talk about programming, why? I know FA about it and programmers are cheap to hire. That will upset a few.

You missed the part about English speaking, so Czech actors might be a problem.

Then getting amateur girls can also be a problem and paying them little even more of a problem, what if they get up and walk off or don't turn up or decide they don't like someone or a number of reasons it can turn pear shaped.

Amateur boys in a 3 1/2 hour scene.
I don't even need to explain that one.

A broke content producer is broke because he's crap.

Work on $500 per girl minimum
$300 per boy minimum
$1,000 for 1 shooter.
$500 for a location.

3 girls, 2 boys = $3600.

Then ask yourself is it worth more to sell it to a DVD company?

Or give it to a content broker and sell it to a DVD company?

Or sell stills to some magazines, video to a content broker and video to a DVD company?

Or sell video to cable companies, sell stills to some magazines, video to a content broker and video to a DVD company?

Serious partners were offering $2500.

Don't under estimate broke sponsors ability to afford decent content.
