How much do porn directors make?
This is a tough call, and no tried and true answer holds. From what I’ve read, a director is given a certain amount of money to make a movie with and whatever is left over is his salary. While I would imagine he needs a minimal amount as a salary just to take the job, it probably isn’t an unusual practice. Directors are usually employed in two ways: Some are on salary at studios, while others work as independents and sell their movies to studios on “spec.” Although it is unclear how much directors on salary make, most “indie” directors who sell their movies on spec usually only cover their costs.
