MONTREAL, Quebec (November 20, 2015) – Canadian adult entertainment powerhouse Mile High Media accumulated 28 nominations for the 2016 XBIZ Awards amongst its studios, sites and directors. Most noted are Mile High’s new studios Icon Male and TransSensual, which dominated in the gay and transgender categories for Studio of the Year, Director of the Year (Nica Noelle), Movie of the Year and Adult Site of the Year.

“Nomination time is always one of our favorite times of the year, as it allows us to reflect on the past twelve months and the impact we were able to make on the adult industry, critics, and fans,” states Mile High Media Vice President Jon Blitt.  “Thank you to XBIZ Media for the wide array of recognitions.”

Much of Mile High Media’s success comes from the unparalleled directors the company employs.  Director of the Year (Feature Release) nominee James Avalon is an exclusive director for Mile High Media, working with Sweet Sinner.  Dana Vespoli, who directs for Sweetheart Video is nominated for Director of the Year (body of work), and Nica Noelle, who directs for new studios Icon Male and TransSensual, is nominated for the gay and transgender Director of the Year.

“Congratulations to our directors on their nominations,” says Blitt.  “I am constantly impressed by their talent and commitment to upholding Mile High Media’s values and mission to create high-quality adult movies unique to the marketplace.”

Mile High Media’s noted new studios Icon Male and TransSensual helmed by Nica Noelle combined for 10 gay and transgender nominations, dominating each of their respective categories.

“We definitely derive extra pleasure in the 10 gay and transgender nominations,” admits Blitt.  “We take pride in having launched studios that are centered on sexually empowering erotica with Nica Noelle. The nominations prove we are at the top of our game and the demand is there for our new approach to gay and TS porn.”
