Raging Stallion's GRUNTS Sweeps GayVNs!!!!!

San Francisco based Raging Stallion Studios took top honors at the 2008 GayVN Awards, earning a total of ten awards and all of the top prizes. GRUNTS, the 40-scene mega-blockbuster co-produced with Naked Sword took Best Picture and also gave Chris Ward and Ben Leon the prize of Best Director. Ward and Leon also picked up the trophy for Best Editor. Jake Deckard, Raging Stallion's 2007 Man of the Year, won Best Actor for his portrayal of Sergeant Houle, and Ricky Sinz won Best Supporting Actor for his work in the film. Deckard also won the coveted title of Performer of The Year--arguably the top prize at the show. Raging Stallion has won Performer of The Year for four of the past five years.

Ricky Sinz and Roman Ragazzi also were given the award for Best Sex Scene. Ricky took his third prize for Best Solo. Kent Taylor and Geof Teague were given the award for Best Photographer.















Jake had this to say about his victory: "I've done pretty much everything I can now as a model, and I've now got lucite to prove it! From this point on everything I do is about my new production company, Screaming Eagle XXX. It's nice to have some control. Like Ferris Bueller said, 'If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.'"

"It was our night," commented company president Chris Ward. "GRUNTS was a great film--it was the best of the year. I thought we stood a good chance of winning and my staff was pretty sure that we would do well. I cautioned all of my team that sometimes how you lose is more important than how you win. Mentally we were ready for any result. As the awards began coming our way we were excited beyond belief. It was an adrenaline rush par excellence! It was a great night, one that I will remember forever!"

Ben Leon, who shared the top awards with Ward, was ecstatic with his armful of plastic. "We worked our asses off on this movie and the awards are a testament to hard work, high hopes, and our actors and crew. Achieving this recognition will force me to work harder in the future and aim for bigger and more demanding projects."

GRUNTS, the top selling movie of the past five years, was a $250,000 film--perhaps one of the most expensive productions in recent years. "I always wanted to make a military movie, " said Ward, but I needed to wait until I had the resources to do it--having a whole platoon of troops is very expensive! I think Raging Stallion has made a classic and I hope people enjoy it for many years to come."
