Firing Line Films

Background: Firing Line Films was an adult entertainment company formed by Donald Goras in 1978 with assistance from Noel C. Bloom after the former left Caballero Control Corporation. Firing Line produced pornographic films for the home video market. Tapes were distributed by Caballero Control Corporation Home Video until the mid-80s; Goras would form Video for Adults to handle this function soon after. For a period, Firing Line's content was distributed in the United Kingdom by pre-cert label Dice Video, which would be reconverted into a local branch for Video for Adults. Following declining sales, Goras shut down the company and sold its catalog to a private investor.

(1979-1991)

Logo: On a space background, we see the Earth rotating. A line of filmstrips flies in from the middle right until it hits the opposite side. It cuts to a ticket with a wireframe globe inside along with a movie camera overlapping the top of it. "FIRING LINE FILMS" appears in front of everything and lights appear all over the ticket. Everything in the ticket fades out as "PRESENTS" fades in.

FX/SFX: The ticket and lights.
