Jake Deckard Has Jock Itch

Raging Stallion Studios today announced the completion of principal photography for Jock Itch, the new sports-themed film directed by Jake Deckard for his Screaming Eagle XXX video line. The release date for Jock Itch is March 28. The video, a sports gear fetish film, stars Deckard, Logan McCree, Steve Cruz, Scott Tanner and Tyler Saint. "I think sports gear has a broad appeal in a sexual context," says Deckard. "I love jocks, socks, cleats, pads, all that shit, and while I was busy filming this video it's really developed into a full on fetish for me." The video will premiere during Black Party week in New York City.

Screaming Eagle XXX, a new company fully owned and operated by Deckard, has gotten off to a rollicking start with two GayVn nominations, including "Best Fetish Video" for it first release, Ink Storm. "I'm looking to develop a new audience with Screaming Eagle XXX-- bad-ass young men who don't feel they are part of the scope of the big porn companies and usually don't buy their stuff because it isn't cool. I'd like to make a real mark on these guys’ sexuality, turn them on and give them something to think about and lust over for a good long time," said Deckard. Raging Stallion Studios is the exclusive distributor of Screaming Eagle XXX, and the two companies have a close working relationship that allows Raging Stallion Exclusive models to perform in Deckard productions. Steve Cruz and Logan McCree, both stars of Jock Itch, are Raging Stallion Exclusives.

Raging Stallion president Chris Ward is very pleased with Deckard. "Jake has become one of the key players in the Gay Adult Biz in just a few short years--he is our top actor at Raging Stallion, and his first film, Ink Storm, is one of the biggest hits of the year! He has that rare gift of really knowing what makes good erotica. He has learned all aspects of the industry--from acting, to camerawork, to casting, to directing, to editing, and even to marketing. Jake Deckard is here to stay, and I am very glad he is associated with our studio!"


Deckard was nominated for two GayVn awards, "Performer of the Year" and Best Actor for his over the top portrayal of "Sgt. Houle" in Raging Stallion’s epic, GRUNTS. "I really feel like I went the distance in that video," says Deckard. "I am ready to move into production and away from being a 'star' and I couldn't have been handed a better opportunity to show what I'm capable of than GRUNTS.” Deckard plans to continue working in front of the camera in Screaming Eagle XXX productions. "The best part of being the director is being able to choose your own co-stars. At this point, if you see me with anybody in a scene, you can bet we both really wanted to be there."

Raging Stallion Dominates GayVN Nominations

Studio Singled Out in Every Major Category

San Francisco based Raging Stallion Studios today received more nominations than any other studio for this year's GayVN awards, the Oscars® of the Gay Adult Industry. The studio received twenty-seven nominations, not including nominations for three of its exclusives for Performer of the Year (Steve Cruz, Jake Deckard and Roman Ragazzi) and one exclusive for Best Newcomer (Steve Cruz). GRUNTS, the top selling movie of 2007 which was co-produced by Naked Sword, received more nominations than any other film and dominated the major categories. Jake Deckard was nominated for Best Actor for his portrayal of Sergeant Houle and Ricky Sinz picked up the best supporting actor nod for his work on the film. Directors Chris Ward and Ben Leon were nominated for best director (Ward also was nominated for Best Director for Mirage, a film released earlier in the year). Ricky Sinz and Roman Ragazzi were nominated for Best Sex Scene. JD Slater was nominated for best Music for Grunts, and the movie received the coveted nomination for Best Picture. In an unexpected twist, Mirage was also nominated for Best Picture. Raging Stallion is the only studio in recent memory to have two nominations each in the Best Director, Best Sex Scene, Best Videography, and Best Picture categories. No studio has ever had three of its exclusives nominated for the top prize of Performer of the Year, although Raging Stallion exclusives have captured that award for three of the past six years.

JD Slater's Erotikus was nominated in the Best Bear category, and Ink Storm, Instinct, Faster! Faster! Fuck Me Harder!, and Fist and Shout were singled out for nominations as well. Michael Brandon's Trouser Trout received a nomination for Best Three Way.

Studio head Chris Ward was obviously pleased with the nominations. "I knew we were going to do well during this year's award season--we made some pretty good movies this year--but the number of nominations we received has blown me away. Of course being nominated is not the same as winning! We are up against some serious competition. Who knows what will happen. I can say this--I am very proud of my team and of our actors. GRUNTS was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all of us and I think it is the movie that Raging Stallion will be remembered for. We did great work this year and both customers and reviewers are really responding to the Raging Stallion look. Honestly, these nominations are a high point of my career. Thank you GayVN!!!"
