Soon after that, people began sharing their videos for free under the counter at local video stores which led to the creation of Homegrown Video in 1982. This was the first production company to release and distribute these kinds of amateur videos commercially. In fact, some people who sent their videos to Homegrown Video went on to become professional porn stars because of the exposure.
Fast forward to today, amateur homemade porn has risen even higher to fame with even more avenues to explore. Think celebrity sex tapes, such as those from Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian, and Paris Hilton.
