FTV Girls — Read This Before You Sign
If you’re considering an FTV Girls shoot, read this before you sign. FTV operates out of the Phoenix/Scottsdale area under founder Rob Simyar, who started the site in 2002 while in dental school. It’s in the same Arizona porn ecosystem as Backroom Casting Couch. The content category is solo-performer intense amateur — toys, public nudity, insertions — which changes what’s in your release and what’s on your permanent record compared to a standard scene.

What it is
FTV Girls is a solo-performer amateur porn brand founded in late 2002. The site publishes content featuring one woman per scene: toy play, public-nudity scenarios in parks and parking lots, physically intense insertion work, and similar solo-focus content. Most scenes do not include a male performer on camera.
Founder Rob Simyar (Robert H. Simyar) has operated the brand continuously since launch. Public interviews and profiles identify him as a dental-school dropout turned adult entrepreneur, with the company’s success well-documented in entrepreneurship forums. The corporate office is at 428 E Thunderbird Rd, Phoenix, Arizona.
FTV sits in the same Arizona production cluster as Backroom Casting Couch. Both operated through the early-2010s period when Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery publicly warned adult producers that filming porn in Arizona may constitute prostitution under state law. Industry operators in AZ continued production through and after that warning.
How it operates
FTV bookings run direct through the site and through industry agent relationships. Performers are booked for multi-day shoots — a typical FTV shoot produces an entire “series” of content per performer, including photoshoots, solo videos, public-nudity clips, and insertion scenes. The content is produced at an FTV location in the Phoenix area or on location nearby.
Because most FTV content is solo-performer, the on-set dynamic differs from studio scenes with a male performer. The director (typically Simyar) shoots close-up solo content, which is its own consent-and-comfort situation — physically intense and camera-proximate across hours of shooting rather than the shorter full-crew flow of a mainstream scene.
Distribution runs through the FTV paysite (FTVGirls.com) and its sister properties (FTVMilfs). Like all amateur-tier sites, content syndicates through tube aggregator networks after publication.
- Early 2010s · Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery publicly warned adult producers operating in Arizona that filming pornography in the state may constitute prostitution under state law. FTV Girls, Backroom Casting Couch, and other AZ-based amateur producers operated through and past the warning without prosecution, but the legal ambiguity is documented context for any AZ-production release.

- Ongoing (format-specific) · FTV's shoot format is different from a mainstream scene: multi-day, solo-focus, and category-specific (toys, public-nudity scenarios, endurance work). Individual-entity lawsuit record specific to FTV is limited in public reporting; the reason to know the format in advance is that the release you sign is written for it. IMDb
- Ongoing (brand permanence) · FTV's scene titles typically describe the specific insertion or location scenario, attaching descriptive tags to the performer's stage name in search indexes. Content is distributed across the FTV network and syndicates through tube sites, consistent with amateur-tier distribution patterns. ZoomInfo (corporate record)
Rate structure
Public pay figures for FTV are not disclosed by the company. Industry reporting places FTV rates at the higher end of solo-performer amateur work, reflecting the multi-day shoot structure and intensity of the content. Performers typically earn a per-day or per-shoot fee rather than per-scene, given the content produced spans a full series.
Same-day or end-of-shoot payment is industry-standard for amateur-tier productions and is the presumed practice at FTV, but should be confirmed in writing on the specific release.
Contract patterns
FTV releases are written for multi-day solo-performer shoots, which typically grant broad distribution rights over a catalog of content rather than a single scene. The release scope can be much larger than a single-scene studio release — a full series of photos, clips, and scenes across multiple content categories under the FTV network.
The scene-title permanence issue applies: FTV-branded content indexes under the performer’s stage name, including scene titles that reference the specific insertion or public-nudity setup. Future searches for her stage name surface that content with those descriptive titles attached.
- Exact shoot length and scope — FTV shoots are multi-day; know the schedule, the break structure, and the specific content categories being filmed
- Full content-category list in writing — if the shoot includes public-nudity scenarios, insertion content, physical-endurance work, each category needs explicit prior agreement
- Distribution scope — every domain, sister site, and syndication partner where the content may appear, and which entity holds the rights
- Any content-removal mechanism in writing — at amateur-tier scale with multi-day catalog releases, this is typically absent, so know before signing
- Scene titling and metadata — what descriptive tags will attach to your stage name permanently
- Testing and health protocols for the specific content being shot, including any physical-safety protocols for intense solo work
- Rate in writing, payment timing, per-day vs per-shoot structure — multi-day shoots have nuanced pay structures
- Legal framing of the shoot given Arizona's ambiguous statutory context — the operator is comfortable with it; you should understand what that means for your release
- Single scene, single release. Not a multi-day catalog shoot that locks in a broad content library under your stage name.
- Defined content scope in writing. The specific scene, the specific acts, before you arrive. No on-the-fly additions to the day.
- Distribution capped in writing. Our paysite. No sister-brand network or syndication chain downstream.
- Stage name tagging protected. Scene titled around the scene, not around content-category descriptors.
- Same-day pay direct to her, written ahead. No per-day multi-day structure to get locked into before you’ve shot your first scene.
