Millions of people watch porn worldwide, but one man is getting paid for it. Philadelphia-expat and and Temple University alumnus Jason Fredric Gilbert is a full-time movie translator -- and some of his work involves subtitling films saved for adult, after-hour occasions. 

The 37-year-old Lower Merion native moved to Israel with his family when he was 10 years old, only to return to the City of Brotherly Love nearly a decade later to study film at Temple. Upon earning his degree, he used his movie-making skills to produce and direct independent feature films. 

Shortly after, Gilbert got his start in the porn industry by reviewing films for the Philadelphia-based adult movie company Hot Movies and coincidentally found himself translating X-rated films following his big move to the Holy Land.  

The Times of Israel blogger explained his journey in the porn industry in a post published on the site almost a year-and-a-half ago. Here's our conversation with Gilbert.

There are many different opinions about the adult movie industry. How and why did you first get involved in translating pornographic films?

I didn’t begin subtitling pornography voluntarily. I served in the Israeli army as a Lone Soldier for one year and I made educational films while in the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces). After I was released from the army I went to interview at an advertising agency and the company Trans Titles, which provides translations to thousands of movies and TV shows, was actually located in the same building so I stopped by and have had a job there ever since. Before that I was mainly freelancing but it can be very difficult financially to live in Israel.

Note: The company Trans Titles translates foreign movies and television shows in addition to translating a smaller portion of X-rated films.

Watching porn for a living may be a dream job for some people, but what is the reality of your work?

When I’m working I don’t really focus so much on the context. I definitely zone out on the story line. For viewers it’s a completed different experience. You know viewers are watching what’s happening and the acting. They’re focusing on the sex-ing so I think it’s even kind of ridiculous that there are even subtitles sometimes. But for those few hours when I’m subtitling, I oversee the quality control and focus that the subtitles are synchronized and that everything’s in place.

Utilizing your language skills are a big component of your job. As a bilingual translator, what is the most challenging part about translating the films?

English is my stronger language so I translate from Hebrew to English. I would say the most challenging part is translating American slang. You know, there are just certain words in English that just don’t exist in Hebrew – like motor boating for example, it just doesn’t exist. So that can sometimes be a bit challenging. But after working in Hot Movies, I’ve really seen it all. Everything from straight, gay, transgender, bisexual so nothing comes as a surprise anymore.

What are some challenges that come with the job?

About a year ago my wife and I moved in with my mother-in-law so I’m working outside of the office in my home. It’s like a regular job. Basically I just sit in my office, put on my headphones, keep my pants on, close the door and subtitle. At age 37, it’s not exactly where I envisioned I would be after film school.

What are your family’s thoughts on your translation services of the adult material?

Well they knew that I was translating adult films when I first started out reviewing films for Hot Movies in 2004. I would write blurbs about the films on the website. Afterwards I was promoted to marketing and started making films for them. Back then I would travel a lot of more too, like I’d take trips to Amsterdam for work. Now I’m just working from home so I can do my job anywhere. So they were really just kind of proud that I was working. I wasn’t involved in any crimes or doing anything illegal so they were happy that I had a job out of college.

As a translator, you also subtitle reality television shows like "Keeping up with the Kardashians" and "Swamp People." But has translating the adult movies affected your home life?

No, not really actually. I am not a full-time porn translator. It’s about 20% of my job. I get to spend more time with my four-year-old son, which if I was working outside of the home I wouldn’t get to do. I am kind of a stay home dad in the sense too. I get to take my son to judo and watch him grow up, which is great. So I guess you can say translating porn from my house is kind of a benefit in some weird way.

Have you experienced any awkward moments while translating?

No, I haven’t but I love awkward moments. I’m just waiting for them to happen. My mother-in-law isn’t super religious or anything and I’m not religious at all so if she walked in I think it would be more awkward for her more than it would be for me. It could be kind of funny actually.

Besides porn, you also directed The Coat Room in addition to other feature films in the past. What are some highlights of your past work?

For the past year I’ve actually been working on documentaries but my plan right now is to start making featured films again. The Coat Room was a film I directed and produced that was set in Philly and was about a bunch of kids working in a coat room. It went on to premiere at film festivals and eventually won the Portland Underground Film Festival in 2006. I directed the film Identity Burglars back I 2007 and it actually premiered at the Hollywood Film Festival.

Since you’re planning on leaving Israel next year, do you plan on translating X-rated films after your move? 

I hope not, I want to get back into directing films. I graduated with a film degree so it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I still have some extended family back in Philly so I’d love to go there and show my wife where I grew up and went to college. My parents actually met at Temple while they were in college in 68 so there’s a lot of family history there. I’d also like to go out West and go to Los Angeles but my wife has her eyes set on Portland, Oregon.

What can we expect from you in the future?

I plan on directing a follow up to The Coat Room in Portland in 2016.

A New Jersey man has been arrested for and accused of cutting through a storage unit roof to steal more than 30 guitars along with other electronic equipment two months ago.

Jason Mackenzie of Berlin, New Jersey, was charged with burglary and related offenses.

Mackenzie, 34, is one of the four suspects believed to be involved in the March 25 incident, according to police.

Mackenzie and the other alleged trespassers broke into the Public Store storage unit at 2345 Castor Ave. that night by cutting a hole through the roof.

The men made off with 35 guitars, 10 amps, vinyl records and children’s toys, police said. 

Police arrested Mackenzie April 30 after spotting him along Frankford Avenue.

Anyone with information regarding the investigation is asked to contact Philadelphia Police at 215-686-3388. 

A Baltimore Police officer facing decades in prison if convicted for his role in the death of Freddie Gray has ties to South Jersey.

Officer Edward Nero served as a member of the Washington Township Fire Department in Gloucester County for a decade, said township Fire Chief John Hoffman.

Nero, a former resident of Sewell, New Jersey, had a clean record during his time with the department from 2002-2012.

"He was an outstanding and dedicated firefighter," said Hoffman.

Nero, 29, and five other suspended officers face charges in Maryland after arresting Gray died on April 19. Nero, a bicycle officer, can be seen taking Gray into the transport van.

Gray's death was ruled a homicide. He died of a severe and critical neck injury he suffered from being handcuffed, shackled by his feet and unsecured inside a police van during his arrest a week earlier, Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby said Friday, after getting his autopsy report from the coroner.

One officer faces a murder charge and three other officers face manslaughter charges. Nero and another officer, Garrett Miller, face second-degree assault, false imprisonment and misconduct in office charges in Baltimore. If found guilty, Nero could get up to 20 years behind bars.

Residents who lived near Nero's former South Jersey home said they were shocked by the allegations against someone who seemed like a good guy.

No, Kirstie Alley is not involved with politically motivated lane closures in New Jersey.

The actress became a trending topic throughout the U.S. on Twitter on Friday after jokes and confusion from people reading the phrase "Christie ally" in headlines.

David Wildstein was an ally of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. He pleaded guilty Friday for his role in lane closures on the George Washington Bridge in 2013.

The "Cheers" star responded to the fiasco on Twitter.

A scheme to steal a U-Haul van by forcing a homeless man to open a bank account and then have him rent the vehicle has Philadelphia Police and the FBI concerned ahead of this weekend's Blue Cross Broad Street Run.

Adding to the worry is the theft of a 16-foot-long Penske cargo truck a day later. Now, police are asking you to keep an eye out for the vehicles.

The homeless man told police three men took him to the TD Bank along Lehigh Avenue near American Street last Saturday to open a bank account. The group then went to the U-Haul rental stop along Hunting Park Avenue to rent a white Ford cargo van.

Joe Sullivan, Chief Inspector with Philadelphia Police's Homeland Security Unit, said the man was told to wait for the group to meet up with him later that day so he could return the van and be paid. They never came back.

Police don't know if the thefts are related and there's no indications either crime is terrorism related, but Sullivan said he likes to be cautious -- especially ahead of a weekend of events where tens of thousands of people will gather in town.

"The most important job of the police department at this time is to give info to the public and enlist their aid," he said. "This way now I have 1.5 million eyes looking for these vehicles."

The U-Haul van is a Ford E250 and has Arizona license plates.

The Penske cargo truck is a yellow Ford E350 high-cube and has Indiana tags.

Anyone with information can contact Philadelphia Police at 215.686.TIPS.

Amid a week of protests surrounding police treatment of citizens, one Camden County police officer went "above and beyond the call of duty" to help out a few local kids on his beat.

Officer Stephen Marakowski of the Neighborhood Response Team was on foot patrol in Camden's 2nd District on Tuesday when he came across three children, aged 7, 10 and 11, who he'd often seen playing basketball at the Sycamore Court Apartments, according to the CCPD's Facebook Page.

This time, however, Marakowski learned the kids recently had their basketball stolen.

He decided to lend a hand.

When he finishing his shift, Officer Marakowski went to a nearby Walmart and purchased two new basketballs for the boys.

“I grew up in Southwest Philadelphia and remember having sports equipment — baseballs, baseball gloves and other things — stolen when I was a kid," said Marakowski in a statement.

"It was tough, I know how it feels."

Back on patrol Thursday, Marakowski returned to the 7th and Sycamore apartment complex and gave the kids their new basketballs.

"And seeing the smiles on their faces when I delivered them was unforgettable,” added Marakowski.

For his efforts and helpfulness, Officer Marakowski was named Camden County Police Department's Officer of the Week.

Delaware police will welcome three new members come July.

The New Castle County’s newest K-9 rookies include Ax and Champ who are both 18 months old and Nitro, who is 14 months old.

All three officers will use their trained noses to pick up specific odor recognitions and detect potentially controlled and dangerous substances.

In honor of the new pups, the future K-9 officers and their handlers participated in electric service company Delmarva Power’s “Take Your Child to Work Day,” where the canines showed off their skills.

The dogs began their initial training in January during frigid temperatures and are expected to complete their program this summer.

A principal’s son is speaking out in defense of his mother after a letter she sent to a parent regarding unexcused absences went viral.

Lee Marbury took to Facebook to respond to the outcry Rochelle Marbury, his mother, has faced in the wake of one parent’s response to the Montgomery County principal's letter.

"Now the situation has spiraled out of control,” Lee Marbury said in his post.

Mike Rossi, an Abington father, took his children to Boston during the week of the Boston Marathon, which led to the kids missing three days of school. He received a letter from Principal Marbury and Rydal Elementary School explaining the absences were not excused, and warning him of the dangers of accruing too many unexcused absences.

Rossi responded in a Facebook post, which included a picture of Rochelle Marbury’s letter, defending the trip, its educational value and saying he would make the same decision in a heartbeat.

In addition to remarks that the letter was a form letter his mother was required to send as part of her duties, Lee Marbury mentioned he did not have a specific issue with Mr. Rossi’s thoughts.

"Why did it go viral? Because people agreed with his opinion that you can't learn some of the most important lessons of life in school,” Lee added. “I agree, and so do thousands of others.”

Marbury noted his mother has received prank phone calls in the middle of the night, in addition to hundreds of threatening emails. He said all he wants is for people to understand she is a good person at heart, focused on education and her community.

“Instead of being recognized as a woman who has given her life to educating children, and devoting over twenty five years to the community that she loves; the situation continues to drive your reputation through the mud.”

Since the original post, Rossi has met with school representatives, a meeting he called constructive. He was told that while there won’t be any changes to the policy, they may make the language stronger so that all parents are fully aware of the rules.

He has also posted another message on Facebook explaining that he never intended to cause any issues with the school or the principal, and was only pushing the idea that his vacation was educational. Rossi also urged his followers not to attack Rochelle Marbury or send her hate mail.

Mr. Marbury politely declined to comment further on the matter.
