Seattle, WA – A couple days ago the 2015 Grabby Award Nominations were posted to the Grabby’s website. Although I began my hiatus from the industry in January of 2014, the content and features produced toward the end of 2013 didn’t street (or get released) until after the beginning of 2014 thereby making them eligible for this year’s Grabbys. Among the four-hundred-thirty-plus nominees in twenty-nine categories, our cast and crew at Warehouse Kinks were nominated in the Best Fetish Movie Category.
Sounding #1. I find it a little strange and slightly amusing that now, seven years later, this title is nominated for Best Fetish Movie, this time with me in the director’s chair.
It’s also wonderful to see the primary product of my last production run with Falcon / Raging Stallion Studios, Warehouse Kinks recieve a nod. Warehouse Kinks truly delivers the kind of hardcore, man-on-man sex that plays out in the back rooms and dungeons around the world. I’m proud of the feature and happy it has received this recognition.
I’m also pleased to see FetishForce nominated for Best Fetish Site. It gives me this opportunity to recognize and thank the many performers, crew members and studio staff that helped create the original content under my tenure as Director of Fetish Production with the studio. If it were not for the performances of go-to players like Doc Benway, Brian Bonds, Boyhous, Jessie Colter, Race Cooper, Alessio Romero, Preston Steel, Draven Torres, Dirk Caber, Drake Jaden, Sebastian Keys, Angelo Marconi, Byron Saint and Zack Taylor, the scenes would never have resonated so deeply with the viewers. If it were not for the contributions made by Leo Forte, Element Eclipse and Kyle Wood, both in front of and behind the camera, the content would not have been as rich or dynamic. The involvement of these individuals combined with the stellar photography of Ken Taylor, Edward Scott and Mike Graves, the skills of our graphic arts department, the mentorship of my fellow directors and the support of the studio staff all contributed to an extraordinary experience and the production of exceptional fetish content. For that I am truly grateful.
To the Grabbys, I offer my heartfelt gratitude for the recognitions you’ve bestowed upon us this year. My congratulations go out to all of this year’s nominees (the full list can be found here), especially my friends and colleagues: Boomer Banks, Bruno Bond, Brian Bonds, Dirk Caber, Race Cooper, Steve Cruz, Tony Dimarco, Jimmy Fanz, Leo Forte, Gio, Doug Jefferies, Chi Chi LaRue, Derek Pain, mr. Pam, Kent Taylor, and Kristofer Weston. If I make the trek to Chicago for IML/Grabbys weekend this year, I hope to see you all at the awards ceremony.
