Raging Stallion Wins at GRABBYS
At the final award ceremony of the 2008 season, Raging Stallion finished on top by claiming the GRABBY Awards for Best Picture (GRUNTS) and Best Director (Chris Ward and Ben Leon). Ink Storm was awarded the prize for best fetish film, and Playback won best sex scene for the pairing of Jake Deckard and Remy Delane, both RSS exclusives. Deckard also shared the prize of Performer of the Year and Steve Cruz won Best Newcomer. Cruz is the current RSS Man of the Year. Ricky Sinz got two awards--Best Supporting Actor and Best Solo for GRUNTS. The staff of Gay Chicago Magazine puts on the GRABBY show in Chicago each year during IML weekend. This is the tenth year of the GRABBY Awards.
The GRABBYS mark the end of the 2008 awards season, a period that began on January 1 with the publication of the Mannet.com top 100 Movies of the Year. The high point was the GayVN awards show in February. Raging Stallion dominated each of the awards shows in 2008, making this the most successful awards season for the studio to date. GRUNTS was the near unanimous choice for the best movie of 2007. While many of the awards were based on the strength of GRUNTS, many other RSS movies also won prizes during the year--Mirage, Ink Storm, Playback, Fist And Shout, and Instinct.
"It was our year," commented RSS president Chris Ward. "We really worked hard to make the best movies possible. Our guys have never been better, and the lineup for next year looks even more spectacular! GRUNTS is going to be a hard act to follow, but we will do our best to keep turning out award winning quality pictures. I am very proud of our studio and of our actors. It took us almost ten years to get to the top (RSS was founded in 1999), but it was worth it. To have RSS included in the ranks of studios such as Channel One, Hot House, and Falcon is a real honor."
Raging Stallion is investing heavily in a major Western Epic to be shot in New Mexico later this summer. The movie will be jointly directed by Chris Ward, Ben Leon, and Tony Dimarco. With a budget almost as large as the $250,000 spent on GRUNTS, the as yet untitled western will be the studio's main effort for the next award season.
