Honey explains that he has diversified since people started giving away porn for free on the Internet, rendering his filmmaking economically unviable. He has even developed a one-man show: Ben Dover - Innocent Until Proven Filthy, in which he pokes fun at "porno-land vs. reality. In porno-land, pizza delivery is a great job."
