One-third of film school grads in porn industry

A report released today by the Atlanta Film Institute states 35 percent of all AFI graduates end up working in the porn industry.

AFI Dean of Alumni Relations Alan Whitmore says the instiution is proud to have more directors, camera operators and producers in porn than any other film institute in the United States.

“When I dream of what our alumni do, it really blows me away,” Whitmore said. “Look what we have accomplished!”

Community members are equally excited about the news.

“I’m glad to see my hard-earned money going to something I will actually watch and enjoy,” said Ted Smith, a local car mechanic and father of an AFI student.

According to Arnold Albright, an expert in higher education, this news has catapulted AFI into the top tier of film institutes.

“At most film schools, students have two options: Hollywood or unemployment. But not at AFI,” Albright said. “There, students learn what it takes to become the next Steven Spielberg of the porn industry.”

AFI student Adam Greenburg agreed with Albright.

“Anyone can do the lighting for Lindsay Lohan, but how many can do the lighting for Lindsay Blohan?” Greenburg said.

AFI officials echoed Greenburg’s sentiments.

“If our students aren’t prepared to work in the porn industry, we failed,” Whitmore said.

AFI has proven it knows what’s important to today’s moviegoer, Whitmore says, and plans to continue supporting its alumni working in the porn industry.
