Born and raised in the tri-state area, Tony graduated from NY’s School of Visual Art with a BFA in Graphic Design, and then went on to have a successful career as an art director at a major record label for 13 years before venturing into adult films.

The quality of their filmmaking is top notch and I’m honored to be a part of the team."
Raging Stallion President Chris Ward was equally enthusiastic. "Tony is a great guy and a very talented film maker. I was very excited when Tony became available--it is rather rare in our small industry when both a position and a person capable of filling it are concurrently open. The recent retirement of Michael Brandon left vacant a top-level job at a top tier studio--who better than Tony Dimarco to step in? We have huge plans ahead as we build upon our past successes. Right now Tony, Ben Leon, and I are developing a GRUNTS-scale cowboy movie that will be shot in New Mexico this summer. All I can say is everybody better watch out! With Tony joining , Ben Leon, JD Slater, David Hempling, Jake Deckard, and yours truly, we have the best directing team in the industry."
