Emily Rigby Forms New Studio Powered by Cezar Capone


Cezar Capone protégé Emily Rigby has formed her own label, MJ Video, as a subsidiary of Cezar Capone Productions. Rigby is a new director in adult, having helmed the “My Personal Panties” series in addition to directing Internet content for Capone’s network of exclusive sites.

MJ Video will be produced through Cezar Capone and distributed on DVD by Pulse Distribution.

Bill Fisher, aka Cezar Capone, first hooked up with Rigby about two years ago when he was filming an Extenze infomercial that she was to appear in as on-camera talent. After helping Fisher with the teleprompter, Fisher recognized her ambition and took her on as an assistant.

“Emily’s been just great since day one and she’s shown enough drive, determination and talent to spread her wings and do her own thing,” Fisher told XBIZ. “She’s learned under me for two years and just had a natural talent that is ready to shoot on her own. She’s proven herself to technically be very good and she gets really great performances from the talent.

“Unlike most female directors who come from in front of the camera, she is coming from the desire to be my protégé and to learn photography from the ground up. She’s been a dynamic student and I am terribly proud of her.”

Rigby’s first real experience on the production side came as an assistant director on “Sex Lives,” a Playboy TV show that airs this fall. From there, she’s gone on to direct the solo masturbation series “My Personal Panties” (currently wrapping volume three), and has shot scenes for MyNeighborsSexTapes.com and BadGirlsGetFucked.com.

“I started just working in the office until I finally couldn’t take it anymore and needed to get out there myself,” Rigby said. “I began going to sets, observing Bill and learning everything I could. I wanted to know the technical aspects in addition to getting super hot performances from the talent on-set.”

As for the content that will be coming out of her new company, Rigby plans to shoot in the gonzo and reality niches, but relishes shooting pro-am footage (amateur talent with professional production values) and double-penetrations.

“I love DPs like crazy and would love to shoot it. [Cezar Capone doesn’t] really have anything out like that, plus with the pro-am stuff, I just want to cut out all the bullshit and go right to the sex,” Rigby said. “I’ll try anything twice.”

XBIZ Premiere magazine selected Rigby as one of the hot new directors to watch out for in 2009 in its June issue.

Richard de Montfort Passes Away


Veteran director and still photographer, Richard de Montfort, has died. He was 53.

De Montfort, whose real name was Richard Montfort, passed away at his home in Burbank last week, said Drew Rosenfeld, the director of creative development for Hustler Video. Montfort directed dozens of movies for Hustler in the past five-plus years.

“I had been trying to reach him since last Wednesday and typically he’s the type of person who calls you right back,” Rosenfeld said. “After a week of trying, I went over to his house and knocked on his door. All his cars were there but there was no answer. I got nervous and called the police. After I left, the police told it’s been confirmed that he was deceased. They’re not giving me specifics because he’s not family.”

Rosenfeld, who brought Montfort to Hustler, said the Los Angeles native “was a true champion of his craft. And anyone that’s worked with him would know what I mean by that. And he was my friend.”

“We loved his work over here,” Rosenfeld continued. “He was very, very professional. The last project that he delivered to us was titled Hustler’s Untrue Stories: Lindsay Lohan. It’s kind of a shock. He was here on Tuesday of last week delivering materials. He directed at least one if not two movies a month for at least three or four years for Hustler.”

Montfort's Strollin' in the Colon for Hustler Video won the 2009 AVN award for Clever Title of the Year.

Wildlife Productions general manager Bobby Rinaldi gave Montfort his first job in adult about 11 years ago.

“We were over at Tight Ends, and I gave him his first box cover shoot for a movie called Heat,” said Rinaldi, who used to run the production at the company. “He was a salesman for me in the sales room, and told me he was a photographer, ‘Give me a shot. Give me a shot.’ So I finally did and he became one of the top still guys in the business, and a director. I like to feel like I started him off in the business.”

Rinaldi continued, “He must’ve done over 90 percent of my box covers [at Wildlife]. He still would do stills for me. He directed for Hustler but he was always available for me since we went back so far. I’m still in shock. He just finished something for me about a week ago.”

Rinaldi said he also developed a strong friendship with Montfort, who became one of adult's most prolific still photographers working for numerous adult companies.

“He was always there for me as a friend, more important than as a colleague,” he said. “We were always able to sit around and bullshit about family problems and other stuff aside from business. He had a sarcastic sense of humor, the same as me, and we had been working together for so long we could almost finish each other sentences. He worked for me longer than he worked for anybody in this business.”

Montfort was born and raised in Los Angeles and made his home in Hollywood for several years until recently moving to his “dream house” in Burbank, Rosenfeld said.

“He was a huge fan of comics and always attended comic book convention in San Diego. He started out his career as a comic book artist. He illustrated comics before he got into photography.”

In porn, Montfort specialized in directing some of Hustler’s harder fare. “He always did more of the extreme content for us, all of the anal stuff and the harder edge gonzo. He was a true pervert,” Rosenfeld said. “He was a huge consumer of porn long before he ever got into it. He was an honest and upstanding guy. Personally, I found the guy extremely intelligent, maybe a bit reclusive.”

Rinaldi said he worked with Montfort every month if not every other week. He said one producer coined a nickname for him that stuck.

“We called him the Dark Cloud of Love because he always wore black, a black shirt or black pants. It could’ve been 200 degrees out and that’s what he wore.”
