As a young girl, Ivana Mattei dreamed of becoming a professional race car driver, but had to settle for selling them instead at an Italian Fiat dealership.
In 1994, she changed her sales focus from sexy sports cars to sex itself, when she opened Bohem production, which was initially a talent agency specializing in providing actors and actresses for pornographic video productions.
Currently, Mattei oversees operations for the Prague-based company, which currently makes adult-entertainment films and acts as a distribution house for films produced by other pornographic production houses, including Italy-based Rocco Siffredi Produzioni, ATV Entertainment and Pink’o Enterprise. She started distributing films in 1993; opened a talent agency in 1994, specializing in actors and actresses for pornographic videos; and then moved into production in 1996. This year her company produced three films. The firm’s revenues are about Kč 10 million (¬ 375,800) per year.
