About Rookery Films

Rookery House

Brooklyn, New York

Rookery Films is a production company based in Brooklyn, New York. We make ethical AI adult cinema, and we’re proud of it.

Our films show what could only live in your fantasies, until today. Our stories come from the human condition: real experiences, real desires, and life in this crazy world we live in.

No one in a Rookery film has been exploited, pressured, underpaid or hurt, because no one in it exists.

Since 1871

Rookery House was built in 1871 for the Rookery Press. Its founder had learned the trade in 1855, as the young typesetter who set Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass by hand in a Brooklyn print shop on Fulton Street.

Two years after the Rookery opened, the Comstock Act made it a federal crime to send anything “obscene” through the mail. The Rookery kept printing anyway: frank novels, love poetry, marriage manuals, the kind of books passed hand to hand and hidden under mattresses.

The name over the door was a joke. A rookery is where crows gather to nest, and in the 1800s it was also slang for a crowded, disreputable house. The press’s mark was a crow. It’s still ours.
