VCA Pictures (Video Company of America)[1] is an American independent pornographic film production and distribution company. The company was founded by Russ Hampshire, and was formerly a major player during the 'Golden Age of Porn'.[2] Throughout the 1970s and 1980s VCA produced big budget, plot-oriented feature films.[2] In 1982 VCA sold 12,000 units of Insatiable on its first day of release, making it the top selling video (not just adult video) that year in America.[2] In the 1990s Hampshire served one year in jail for the interstate transportation of obscene materials.[2] In 2003, VCA was bought by Hustler Video, a subsidiary of Larry Flynt-owned Larry Flynt Publications.[2] VCA maintains a separate identity within the LFP conglomerate.[2] VCA distributed the 1998 documentary Wadd: The Life & Times of John C. Holmes, and in 2004 provided footage for the HBO documentary Pornucopia.[3]
