January 28, 2016 – VAN NUYS, CA | Pure Play Media congratulates its 2016 XBIZ Award-winning studios. The powerhouse distributor handles DVD distribution for studios in every genre, from high end gonzo, to feature, to all facets of LGBTQ. Pure Play Media’s roster continuously adapts to the industry landscape, to better serve its immense customer base.
“We are honored to have the studios we represent receive these accolades,” says Adam H, VP of Sales for Pure Play Media. “Our studios are dedicated to providing the best adult entertainment possible, and we are so proud to showcase their new releases every week. Congratulations to all of our studios, whose hard work is particularly recognized this month – and we look forward to promoting them at every turn!”
In the Vignette Series of the Year category, Naughty America’s beloved “Tonight’s Girlfriend” series received the coveted trophy. Each release from the series depicts gorgeous girlfriends-for-hire in one-night-only fantasy scenarios, featuring the hottest female talent in the industry.
“We’re flattered to have won Vignette Series of the Year this year for ‘Tonight’s Girlfriend,’” says Lauren of Naughty America. “Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.”
The Transgender Release of the Year trophy went to Trans500’s “Kaitlyn Gender: Based on a Not So True Story,” a parody based on the exploits of trans-celebrity “Kaitlyn Gender,” played by trans performer Jonelle Brooks and directed by Josh Stone.
Dan C. of Die-Screaming.com called the film “fun and twisted,” calling it “…a porn parody that served as a fun-filled and not so serious send-up of the Caitlyn Jenner story, without ever feeling as if it were poking fun. Fans of Ms. Jenner could absolutely watch this entire movie and probably enjoy the hell out of it. That, in my opinion, is one of the true marks of a really great and well-balanced porn parody.”
“I studied Caitlyn Jenner a lot, and really wanted to get her mannerisms: how she carries herself, and most importantly, her voice,” says Brooks. “I like that this movie also promotes positivity for trans people. I think there will be a new understanding of what the real Caitlyn went through, and I hope all my fans will purchase the movie.”
“Kaitlyn Gender: Based on a Not So True Story” stars cover model Jonelle Brooks, Ramon, Wendy Williams, Angelina Castro, Duncan Black, Toby Springs, and Hannah Reese. To see the box cover, synopsis, and cast list, visit http://pureplaymedia.com/index.cfm?page=detail&id=13269.
“Kayden Kross’s Casting Couch” from Airerose Entertainment won for Pro-Am Release of the Year; in the film, fresh faces go up against professional studs and get a thorough quality check, and director / industry icon Kross makes sure the ingénues have what it takes to make it in the demanding business of porn.
“I’m so proud to have the first line out under my name win such a prestigious award out the gate!” says Kross. “Fans can look forward to more high-quality content released under this line in the coming year. Thank you, XBIZ!”
In addition, Airerose Entertainment brand ambassador Abella Danger also received Best New Starlet honors.
