Kirdy STEVENS

Immagine

Vero nome: ?
Data di nascita: 1920
Luogo di nascita: San Franscisco
Decesso: 20 ottobre 2012 a Los Angeles (California) di polmonite

Sua moglie Helene Terrie (nata circa il 1934) (che conobbe nel 1952 e che la sposo nel mese di marzo 1953) era sceneggiatrice e produttrice dei suoi film. Nella sua lunga carriera pornografica, Stevens ha diretto solo 14 film (12 di quelli girati su pellicola).
Negli anni 50 Stevens era proprietario di un agenzia di prestito su pegno a Los Angeles. A quei tempi a Los Angeles c'erano delle sale (cosidette "arcades") in cui venivano proietttati brevi filmati (girati su pellicola 16mm in bianco e nero) non espliciti ma con ragazze che si spogliavano e si esibivano su un letto nude. Verso il 1960 Stevens decise di girare questi "nudie loops" (a colori) per mostrarli nella sua "arcade" ma la cosa duro solo 3 mesi, e la polizia fece dei blitz in quella zona di Los Angeles, gli "arcades" furono chiusi e Stevens perse tutto. Per un certo tempo Stevens offriva film (non sviluppati) che mostravano donne nude/semi-nude che poi i "collezzionisti" potevano sviluppare nei loro laboratori.
In seguito a una sentenza importante della Corte Superiore nel 1969 (Stanley vs Georgia) che rendeva legale il possesso personale di materiale pornografico, nel 1970 Stevens decise di produrre film pornografici e offrirli ad una clientela "specializzata" tramite posta. Ma le autorita lo accusarono di traffico di materiale pornografico e Stevens dovette accettare una sospensione condizionale della pena di 3 anni nel 1971.
Nei seguenti 3 anni Stevens giro' una manciata di film di exploitation tali "Inside Amy"; "Play Dead", "Six Women", "Fusion", ma ebbero poco successo nel circuito di drive-in. Appena terminato il periodo di "probation" (liberta vigilata) Stevens decise di ritornare a girare film di lungometraggio porno, iniziando con LOLLIPOP PALACE. Stevens sfondo finalmente con TABOO, che fu un grande successo quando usci nel 1980. Ma Kirdy vendette i diritti video a VCX per una somma derisoria. Nel 1982 TABOO fu il video piu venduto nella storia del porno.
Il successo di TABOO diede a Kirdy l'idea di girare un sequel TABOO II (che ebbe piu successo del primo film), e poi altri sequel che avaveno poco a fare con i primi due film. I primi due furono girati su pellicola 35mm, ma TABOO 3-4-5 furono girati su pellicola 16mm.
Nel 1987, dopo aver girato il suo ultimo film TABOO V, Stevens decise di ritirarsi dal porno visto come andavano male le cose legali (a quel tempo il governo batteva forte contro i produttori di porno con la legge RICO che confiscava tutti le risorse personali e commerciali ottenuti dalla produzione pornografica). Kirdy decise di vendere il catalogo video dei film che lui aveva girato per la sua propria ditta Standard a Intropcs Video (che fu piu tardi acquistata da Metro). Ma Kirdy ritenne i diritti d'autore di questi film per altre forme di media. Suo figlio Steve formo la Standard Digital nel 2001 e poco a poco ha rimasterizatto e ripubblicato i film di Kirdy su DVD (il DVD di TABOO ha venduto fino ad ora +50,000 copie).
