Community based porn

Congrats to Pink & White, Morty Diamond and Buck Angel as well as the other nominees for the Feminist Porn Awards.

Cubbyholes didn't make the cut, don't know why exactly.

So to vent, here is a list of what we value....

Safe sex, we believe porn should show ways of having sex that his hot and at least reduce the possibility of harm.

We value the talent. Our talent (in front, behind and post production) are committed to the message of Trannywood, and we wouldn't exist without them. We pay all our talent, at least a small stipend for their hard work and their creativity. Some tech folks have donated their time and/or invoiced us significantly lower than their market rate. We also have a profit sharing program to continue to link our actors long after the first round of sales.

We see our talent as more than just an actor to be directed. Our actors help define the scene, often directing the action, some have become directors, editors and videographers.

We support other indy film makers, and fundraisers for surgeries and other emergencies.

We support community conferences over adult industry conferences. We think our message is better shaped by the community we serve than by trying to fit established "standards" of porn.

Whew, there, I feel better now.

Gayvn Awards...oh well.

We had a great showing of a dozen Trannywood folk who attended the GayVN awards.

We were nominated in Best Alternative Release...which had three nominees....Buckback Mountain, Cubbyholes, and Naked Boys Singing.....and the winner was....Naked Boys Singing.

Oh well. Buck was also nominated in another category...the first time he had been nominated on his own in the GayVNs...but he didn't win that either.

We are up for a few more awards this year...will keep you updated.

And sad to say, Bi Apple, our favorite for the Bi Category didn't win there either.

XBiz awards update

Well, Trannywood Pictures wasn't nominated for any XBiz Awards. I was hoping for Emerging LGBT Film Company, maybe they wanted to see we are here to stay...so, we'll see in 2009.

Congrats to Buck Angel for two nominations, best LGBT Feature for Buckback Mountain, and LGBT Performer of the year.

Now, we'll just see what the Gay AVN Awards have to say, I think next week.

-----

We continue to get reorders for "Cubbyholes" and our new film "Couch Surfers" should arrive in our offices this week. We already have three store that have ordered "Couch Surfers" sight unseen.

Weeeeeee.
