The most recent episode of 20/20 on ABC featured an appearance by Homegrown Video President Farrell Timlake.
The majority of the episode, titled “Caught on Tape,” was devoted to depressing and sometimes horrifying uses of video cameras. By comparison the program presented an upbeat take on Homegrown Video, one the leading amateur companies in adult.
The segment discussed how people like to use cameras to record their intimate encounters, and how since 1982 these people have been selling their adventures to Homegrown Video. The episode showed clips of regular people having sex, and Timlake told interviewer Chris Connolly about how Homegrown features people who get a thrill by seeing themselves on the box cover in their local video store.
After seeing the segment, Timlake said, “I think I just saw a commercial for Homegrown Video air on primetime network television!” The company reported a spike in membership sales at www.homegrownvideo.com since the show aired on Friday.
Homegrown Video has been featured prominently on several TV shows, including a recent plug on HBO’s Pornocopia. The company will also be covered in an upcoming episode of Canada’s City TV. The 20/20 interview was taped almost a year ago, Homegrown said.
