[Timlake; Homegrown Video founder] and
Homegrown Video Under New Management
Homegrown Video has announced that it is
under new management for all future
operations. In a statement issued Tuesday, the
company said that with the hiring of Josh
Marcum as its new head of operations and
COO, “Homegrown Video refocuses its
efforts to return to its original brand as the
birthplace of amateur adult entertainment
and the quintessential brand for those looking
to share their sex lives on camera.”
Marcum added, “Every Homegrown Video employee learns the company history and
mission before they even start Day 1. Over the past few years, we have focused on
maintaining our mission statement and directed our efforts to stay true to amateur as it
“Homegrown is different from any other porn
site out there,” said Marcum. “The scenes are
real and are made by real couples. Farrell
should be. We have moved away from our pro-am releases to come back to center,
authentic amateur content, in order to reestablish and elevate our core values.”
Under the revised management, a large portion of Homegrown’s original setup will
stay the same. Amateur couples seeking to share their sexual adventures and view others
celebrating their sexuality will continue to be able to do so through Homegrown DVDs
as well as HomegrownVideo.com. Submissions of videos will also continue through
HomegrownSubmittals.com.
The updates under Marcum include the adoption of new media methodology;
amateur couples who provide content to Homegrown, as well as voyeur members, will
now be allowed to participate in the site’s updates via comments and replies. By

tent creators and answer questions. Even Lani
[Timlake’s wife] is involved with the chat room
and social media action. Lani and Farrell also
offer instructional videos from camera
techniques to the use of specific sex toys. It’s become very much a family affair.
“HomegrownVideo.com has now become a very creatively interesting and extremely
sexually positive setup,” continued Marcum. “By allowing content creators and
consumers to work together, creators are continuously encouraged to improve the kinds
of scenes they submit to us. Newbie content creators sometimes submit scenes where
they’re awkward and nervous; through public encouragement, we’ve seen those scenes
become better and better over time. Viewers tell female amateurs who may think their
blowjob skills are not ‘porn-star-quality’ how good and sexy they really are. We then see
scenes with longer blowjob segments from those women. It’s a fantastic process and
works every time.”
Homegrown Video’s expertise in the amateur porn market is manifest in its 11 AVN
Awards for Best Amateur Release and Best Amateur Series. In 2009, owner Farrell
Timlake (aka Tim Lake) was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame.
