History
mr. Pam was born on December 8, 1972 in San Francisco, California and given the name Pam Doré.
In 1996 when she was 24, Pam worked part time as a video editor at the San Francisco, California pornographic film studio Falcon Studios, one of the world's largest producers of gay pornography. At that time, she lived on 18th Street in San Francisco. After Falcon staffers became concerned that the studio’s founder, Chuck Holmes, might think that a woman would not know what was male-male hot, she quickly adopted the male pseudonym "mr. Pam", with the lower case "m" signifying her gender and giving additional marketability.
In 2000 at age 27, mr. Pam worked as a Web designer for ZDNet, the first online information service to be created by a major print publishing company. To make additional money (approximately $350 a month), she had her car wrapped by MyFreeCar.com with the logo of MobileEngines, a Silicon Valley based provider of wireless entertainment services for Internet-enabled mobile phones and PDAs founded in January 1999.
In 2003, Pam began working with the online adult entertainment talk show Tim & Roma! Show. In 2004, Pam took on the task of both directing and editing eXposed: The Making of a Legend, a chronicling of the three-week shoot of the gay porn extravaganza "Buckleroos." Pam maintained a "family" vibe on the set of eXposed and Buckleroos, something both the cast and crew found comforting. Her work on eXposed was lauded by Variety magazine, which said that the picture benefitted "from female helmer Pam's light touch, leavening content that's sometimes close to glorified in-house promotion."
In February 2008, Pam was nominated for Best Editing/Hunger and Best Videographer/Gigolo at the 2008 GayVN Awards, but lost out to Chris Ward/Ben Leon and to Brian Mills and Paul Wilde/FEAR, respectively. Also in 2008, Pan shot "Brothers' Reunion" for New York-based gay pornographic studio Lucas Entertainment, which finished production in June 2008 and was available in August 2008. At this same time, Pam served in a variety of positions on the online adult entertainment talk show Tim & Roma! Show, including director, lead videographer, lighting designer, video and audio editor, and graphic designer.
By this time, Pam had gained a reputation in adult entertainment as a creative professional who brings "a strong positive energy to the set," a desired quality especially on gay pornographic shoots that are literal daylong shoots. From her view, she sees her onset persona as a "kick-ass cameraman, slutty friend, or ‘Mommy’ if the boys need a hug or someone to talk with." In addition, her open-minded nature and congenial attitudes extends to a willingness to "wipe their ass clean up accidents, piss, cum." In August 2008, New York-based gay pornographic studio Lucas Entertainment signed Pam to an exclusive videographer contract as its creative director of film and production. In September 2008, she relocated from San Francisco to New York City.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I think that Richard Nixon will go down in history as a true folk hero, who struck a vital blow to the whole diseased concept of the revered image and gave the American virtue of irreverence and skepticism back to the people.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
