Bits of News from Around the Business

I have been inundated with emails full of industry news this past week--some good some bad, but all interesting for porn insiders. I thought I would let you guys know some of the behind the scenes stuff at RSS for this week, May 21.

First up, RSS has just signed Rafael Alencar for GRUNTS, my major military project scheduled for shooting in July. What this means is that Rafael is no longer with Black Scorpion. Rafael helped start the company and delivered its first major hit, Dreams of Rafael. I assume the separation is amicable, but the bottom line is that Rafael is back! I can't wait to film his huge cock again!

RSS has also signed Brodie Sinclair to star with Rafael, Jake Deckard, Roman Ragazzi, and Steve Cruz in GRUNTS. Brodie, who made his mark at Falcon, has not yet performed in front of the RSS cameras. No doubt, it will be an event to remember.

RSS just finished filming another round of FF movies, the main one to be entitled Folsom Fist (to be released later this fall). The movie offers a new spin on the legendary Folsom Prison (remember the Johnny Cash song?). We hope to have the edit done in time for the Folsom Street Fair (which is not associated with Folsom Prison!), so watch this page for more details later this year.

Most of the owners of RSS are heading to Chicago for the Grabby Awards later this week. RSS has numerous nominations and we are all hopeful of doing well at the show. The Grabbys are, far and away, our favorite of all the award shows--the Grabby guys seem to be in synch with the RSS view of sexuality! Steve Cruz, our newest exclusive, has been chosen as one of the trophy boys for the event. Collin O'Neal, Roman Ragazzi, Michael Brandon, and many other RSS studs will be at the show. We hope to see all of you there!

Chi Chi LaRue has singed on to DJ at the RSS annual Folsom Street Fair party, the event where I will announce the 2008 Man of The Year. JD will also be on hand to give his "Bigger than Life" award to his favorite Centurion Pictures performer. Jake Deckard, our current Man of the Year, will host our booth at the street fair. We are now lining up twenty-plus stars to be on hand to meet fans. It is an event not to miss.

Raging Stallion has also taken the plunge and has agreed to do a major booth at Gay Pride in conjunction with Castro Gulch, one of the local gay retailers. Roman Ragazzi, Jake Deckard, Steve Cruz and many of our models will be on hand to meet and greet. Michael Brandon has a whole line up of events scheduled, so check in to the news page at RagingStallion.com for details!

Finally, I have the great pleasure to report that Mirage has become a major hit--just like Arabesque before it. If you have not purchased the movie yet, you can still get it at RagingStallion.com. Mirage goes into national release on June 1, so check your local video stores this summer for what is perhaps one of the finest films of the year!
