Handed out every year during IML, the Grabby Awards are the major awards celebration for the Gay Porn Industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Raging Stallion's Focus / Refocus (which was just picked up for Independent Film distribution) carried the flag with a total of over a dozen nominations, including in the Best Picture, Best Director Chris Ward, Tony Dimarco and Ben Leon), and Best Acting (Cole Streets, David Taylor, Steve Cruz, Bruno Bond) categories. Tony Dimarco's The Visitor also picked up nominations in all major categories, adding Logan McCree to the Best Actor list. Other films nominated were Caliente, Hard Friction, Nailed and Screwed, Stag Fight, Piss Off, Ink Stain, Fist Away, Fist my Butt, Menace, and Junkyard Fist Dogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steve Cruz and Logan McCree were both nominated for Performer of the Year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Studio head Chris Ward commented on the nominations: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"We are really proud of our work in 2009-2010, and we are very happy that our movies were singled out for nominations. All the actors and our staff at Raging Stallion work very hard to make the best product possible, and we are really excited to have these nominations.

Frietas packs the finest 8-pack in abdominal history, and his hairy body shows off his north African /southern Italian heritage.  Barclay, in contrast, is a smooth skinned, tattooed super bottom who was cast against Frietas mainly because he can take a monster fuck pounding!  Frietas fucks like a crazy straight man—two hundred miles an hour until his bottoms are ripped asunder!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/AF_0609_3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/AF_0609_3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alex Frietas is one of the hottest newcomers in porn. His Brazilian heritage combines a genetic background into one of the great physiques of our time.  He absolutely has the best torso on earth!  We asked him about his background and his new porn career.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q  So Alex, tell us about yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A: I am Alexsander Freitas, a Brazilian/Italian model &amp;amp; porn-star from Rio de Janeiro, Copacabana beach, Brazil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; I worked as personal-trainer in three big gyms in Los Angeles for more than two years, then started to do Private sessions, while competing and winning in Bodybuilding contests! I was also doing some modeling pictures, and it's always been my idea to become a model and porn-star. So in 2008, I started doing more photo-shoots and solo videos. It was all crazy but it did helped me to become a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; porn-star and see it as a normal profession. Yes, I love what I do, it is a lot of fun and I worked with professionals in the field.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; The main goal in life is to be happy and healthy, therefore I try to be happy in my own way as I know we are all responsible for our own happiness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/alex_andre3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 335px; height: 245px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/alex_andre3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. How did you come to Raging Stallion?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A.  After a long time searching the internet, I went to Rentboy.com and I saw the Raging Stallion Logo, so I applied to be a model.  I was contacted by Kent Taylor who said that Chris Ward loved my abs!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q.  Tell us about those abs? How to you make it happen?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A.  Well, I work out six or seven days a week when I am not shooting for Raging Stallion, and every workout  has at least 1000 ab exercises using heavy weights.  Using weights actually makes the ab muscles much thicker.  Not all the guys have 8 packs like me, and the difference is that I work them all the time, every day.  I also have a special diet that keeps off every bit of fat down there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/AFAB_0255_3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/AFAB_0255_3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q.  Raging Stallion likes you hairy.  In the past you have always shaved your torso.  Does having a hairy body make it harder to see your muscle definition?  Do you prefer hairy or smooth on yourself?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A.  Back in the days when I was a professional body builder, to show more I used to shave. But after I spoke with Chris Ward, he asked me to let the hair grow.  And now I love it!  Now I never think about shaving any more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q.  You  have sex with both men and women in your private life.  What's up with that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A.  I am a real bisexual. I enjoy sex with both men and women.  Mainly, I like to fuck and fuck hard.  All holes are fair game.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/AFAB_0324_3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/AFAB_0324_3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. You  are one of the most crazy fuckers we have ever seen—how to you fuck so long and so hard?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A. I was in body building, and I trained to be a champion.  I have many trophies from my body building. When I do something in life, I give it 100 percent--the best I can possibly be.  Now my training is different--its now about fitness and cardio to keep my stamina.  This lets me fuck like a animal. This is my job and I do fucking exercises every day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/AFAB_0363_3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 384px; height: 287px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/AFAB_0363_3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. Well , Alex…now you are one of the hottest new porn stars in the business. What do you think of that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A.

Now Chris, Ben Leon, and Team Raging Stallion have gone back to the dark and swarthy men of the Middle East and produced THE MOVIE EVENT of 2010--A massive, four-disc epic entitled &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Tales of the Arabian Nights&lt;/span&gt;! Over the next weeks we are going to present photos and interviews of actors from this film. As part of our limited pre-book offer, we are including the original two disc Arabesque set for FREE--In all a Six Disc extravaganza of the hottest male erotica of all time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/5_FD_8969-776667.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/5_FD_8969-776614.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Francesco D'Macho and Wilfried Knight are two of the top porn stars  of all time.  Chris Ward considered it a major coup to be able to  cast both men in his Arabian Nights. "Wilfried has been one  of Michael Lucas' biggest stars and I want to thank him personally for  allowing us to film Wilfried," noted Ward. "I thought he and  Francesco would look great together!" Francesco, of course, has had a long career under Steven Scarborough as a Hot House superstar and  now co-owns Staghomme.com  with Damien Crosse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/TAN2ND20-729030.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/TAN2ND20-728983.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ward shot the scene between these to studs on the same set that he  used for the classic Arabesque two way between Francois Sagat and  Huessein--one of the greatest porn pairings of all time and the  single scene that launched Sagat's amazing career.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Wilfried and Francesco not only had great chemistry, but they also  are experts at sex," said Ward. "It was a pleasure to direct them  both and I am very proud to have had them participate in the biggest  movie of my career!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We caught up with Francesco during his recent trip to Brazil to have  a short discussion about Tales of the Arabian Nights, his career,  his partnership with Damien and other things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/TAN2ND17-729107.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/TAN2ND17-729066.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Q  Francesco--you have made a lot of movies and now have your own  company!  What made you decide to start Stag Homme with Damien?   What is it like having your own porn company?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A  I always been kind of bossy on set when I was working as an actor, and I was looking at every little detail and things in my  opinion where done in a way I didn't agree with. On the other hand I  was also watching and learning how porn movies are made by each of  the different companies I worked for. Because of my stubborn and leadership-like personality it wasn't long before all these ideas  about starting my own studio started popping in my head. One thing I  learned is that very few people in this business are going to make  things easier for you, or sending you the right direction. So  everything I achieved at present day I did it myself (along with my  partner in crime Damien Crosse of course) and that is something that  gives me plenty of reasons to keep going and believe in my own way  of making porn. I love to be in control 100% of the product Im  delivering to my audience, from start to finish Im looking at all  the different aspects of producing porn that is new and exciting and  most important enjoyable to watch. We like to sell fantasies, each different from one another, it's always a new topic to explore and I  like the challenge to take risks in an industry where almost everything has been done.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/TAN2ND19-773850.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/TAN2ND19-773809.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Q  What is the craziest thing you have ever filmed?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A Public sex at 4 am in the neighborhood I live in Madrid and almost  getting caught by the police. I remember the thrill of hiding in one  of the dark corners and how happy we were when we saw the footage.  It was very risky but well worth it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q  You worked for many years over at Hot House as one of their top  stars--what was your favorite Hot House shoot?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A I've been an exclusive for 2 years at Hot House at the very beginning of my career. I've been in the industry for a little less  than 4 years, it has been a fast and intense ride so far. I loved  being directed in those couple of years by Steven Scarborough one of  the masters and pioneers of the porn industry. It's hard to pick a  favorite shoot they all have been so different from one another. If  I really have to pick one then it would be the one I started driving  a silver corvette and ended up fucking in a pool under the scorching sun of California in one of the Trunks series movies..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/TAN2ND18-773957.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/TAN2ND18-773887.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Q  You had a big role in Raging Stallion's Focus / ReFocus--that big  orgy scene. What was that like to shoot? Talk about star power--it  was you, Damien Cross, Steve Cruz, Angelo Marconi, and Wilfried  Knight. Thats a lot of talent in one room!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A  I think that was a very easy shoot, because everyone knew exactly  what they were doing. I like to work with actors that have a  distinctive character. It makes the overall scene authentic and  unique. It is like you never know what's going to happen next. I  hate watching porn that is predictable. And the last bits of that  scene with a big oral gang-bang cum-shot...... so fucking hot!! But  I don't want to spoil the fun so people have to watch it for themselves and see what happen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q  What did you think when Chris Ward asked you to be in his new  Arabian Movie?  Are hot, hairy, mediterranean men your kind of guy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A  Yes and I'll tell you a little secret, Mediterranean and arab men  are actually my only kind! So that was a big fantasy coming true. I  visited a lot of Arab countries lately so Im a big fan of that  culture in particular, I like how masculine and hairy Arab boys can  be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/TAN2ND23.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 227px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/TAN2ND23.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Q  Your two way with Wilfried Knight is a spectacular scene! What  was it like shooting with Wilfried?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A  I've known Wilfried for many years, even long way before I started  doing porn. I always wanted to hook up with him since the 1st day i  got introduced to him. But reality was that he never gave me the  time of the day. When I got offered to be in a scene with him I  didn't know what to expect. Now I can say he is one of the most  amazing people I met in the industry, very down to earth, sexy and sweet man. We got to know each other and started a beautiful  friendship. I really think you can see what a good chemistry we had  on set of the 2 scenes we shoot together. I hope the audience will enjoy watching as much as i enjoyed making those scenes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/TAN2ND22.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/TAN2ND22.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Q  Because the scene with Wilfried was shot on the same set as that  very famous scene between François Sagat and Hussein (from the hit  film Arabeque), Chris was kept calling you François during the  shoot!  How crazy was that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A  The crazy part is when I saw a ghost of Sagat wondering around  the set. It was very distracting!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q  We sure  hope you are planning to come back to shoot more with  RSS--what are your future plans?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A. Writing a book, getting a puppy, keeping traveling around the  world scouting for fresh new talent for our movies, bringing Stag  Homme Studios to porn stardom and making it one of Europe biggest  studios next to my amazing Damien Crosse, keeping my partnership  with Raging Stallion as our one and only incredible distributor for our DVDs as successful as it is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://tinyurl.com/ydutvgt" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 380px; height: 315px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/buytan.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31005231-533554156409000796?l=www.chriswardpornblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/2010/02/q-with-francesco-dmacho.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Chris Ward)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31005231.post-9060557046112836701</guid><pubDate>Fri, 19 Feb 2010 22:01:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-19T14:41:34.458-08:00</atom:updated><title>Introducing Tales of the Arabian Nights</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Introducing Tales of the Arabian Nights&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/A_9620-777043.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/A_9620-777000.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In 2005 Chris Ward presented Arabesque, a stunning film that has been hailed as one of the greatest moments of Gay Erotica of all time and the top selling Gay Porn Movie of the past two decades. Now Chris, Ben Leon, and Team Raging Stallion have gone back to the dark and swarthy men of the Middle East and produced THE MOVIE EVENT of 2010--A massive, four-disc epic entitled Tales of the Arabian Nights! Over the next weeks we are going to present photos and interviews of actors from this film.

Please enjoy this foretaste of things to come.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tales of the Arabian Nights is a spectacular porn event that highlights the beauty of men from the middle east. Like the smash-hit Arabesque before it, Tales of the Arabian Nights features beautiful sets, top notch direction (Chris Ward and Ben Leon) and the most stunning cast of the year. Over the next weeks we are going to offer up photos and stories from each of the dozen or so scenes featured in this scorching hot film. Tales of the Arabian Nights is THE PORN EVENT OF THE YEAR. Here is your first taste!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Scene One: Aybars and Steve Cruz&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Chris Ward's production notes: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"I found Aybars when cruising around on Cam4.com. He was a regular on there, so I knew he was an exhibitionist! I dropped him an email to see if he had any interest in doing a movie for us. Although he was from Munich, he looked very Middle Eastern and since I knew we were about to film Tales of the Arabian Nights, I thought I would see if he was interested. He responded immediately and let us know he was from Turkey. He had seen Arabesque and was very excited to come over and do the deed! Aybars is the standout discovery of this movie--his beautiful body, warm eyes, perfect cock, and wonderful personality make him one of my personal favorites."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/A_9646-733052.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/group1-781969.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 223px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/group1-781936.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Steve Cruz has been at Raging Stallion for many years now, and he is one of my personal favorite actors. He is of Portuguese descent, with strong north African heritage from the days when the Moors ruled the Iberian peninsula.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/ASC_9124983-704735.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/group2-727592.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 223px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/group2-727558.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;When casting, I thought he and Aybars would be perfect--both are distinctive in their looks and I always like to cast similar guys together.

There is something special about the first scene a new porn star makes--and this is Aybars' first.&lt;br /&gt;Chris Ward&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A Q &amp;amp; A with Steve Cruz&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/SC_9917x-714878.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 180px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/SC_9917x-714876.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We sat down over lunch with Steve Cruz, one of Raging Stallion's top superstars (and now top videographer) and talked about Tales of the Arabian Nights. Here are some of the things he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q Why on earth would Chris Ward put you in Tales of the Arabian Nights? Could it be your dark, hairy Tail?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Yeah, I get typecast a lot! But don't start feeling sorry for me... look at the cast! Dark and hairy men from the middle east and all over the world. I was flattered to be included.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q Ben Leon directed your scene with new comer Aybars. He is actually from Turkey--Chris found him on the web. How was it working with him? He seemed to do very well for a first timer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Aybars is such a beautiful man. His seductive power is his eyes. They are hypnotic. He's a man of few words, soft spoken but when his dick gets hard there's no need to waste time on words. He was great, I enjoyed every minute. Its a sensual scene, we had great chemistry, a lot of passion. Fans of dark hairy men will really love it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q Tales of the Arabian Nights is being described as one of the hottest films ever made. Have you seen it yet? What are your thoughts on the whole "arabian" mystique as a sexual fantasy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I've seen some of the scenes I worked on. Its a stunning film! The cast is amazing. The sets are decadent and the sex— It's pretty over the top. We take the Arabesque series to the next level. What do I think of the Arabian sexual mystique? I think the Hollywood version of the Arabian Nights is very sensual, sexy. If only real life were as much fun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q You also were pretty important on this shoot behind the camera! We hear Chris Ward has recently named you as his principal videographer! That's gotta put a grin on your face! What is it like shooting for Chris--we hear that although he claims to be nice, he really requires top notch work and gets it any way he can!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Yeah yeah, I know Chris is a task master but his films are the best! You have to work hard to be the best, the magic doesn't just happen. I love working with Chris! We have the same perspective on what hot sex is. He's also a great mentor, I'm learning a lot. It's a dream come true to be his videographer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q You filmed the behind the scenes and the solos for the special features for this project. Tell us about these.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;In the weeks before the release, Hard Friction.com will be featuring the 45 minute film we shot behind the scenes. Its packed with sex and interviews with all the stars... Francesco D'Macho, Damien Crosse, Wilfried Knight, Adam Killian— the cast list is impressive! Its a playful 'cock-umentary' made for the fans. So its more about the fun side of production the antics the guys get up to in between shoots.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/tanboxex-702164.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 223px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/tanboxex-702102.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://tinyurl.com/ydutvgt" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 137px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/clickhere-773769.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31005231-9060557046112836701?l=www.chriswardpornblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/2010/02/introducing-tales-of-arabian-nights.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Chris Ward)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31005231.post-7319623353357256686</guid><pubDate>Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-15T14:40:47.763-08:00</atom:updated><title>Chris Ward Names Steve Cruz as His New  Principal Videographer</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://store.ragingstallion.com/show.php?a=1503&amp;amp;st=1&amp;amp;sid=192" target="_blank" border="0"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/stevecruz-700304.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Raging Stallion president Chris Ward today announced that long time RSS superstar Steve Cruz has been named as his principal videographer, a prestigious position formerly held by such luminaries as Lester Moore, Leif Gobo, Ben Leon, Tony DiMarco and David Hempling.   Steve's debut as videographer is in the upcoming Tales of the Arabian Nights, one of the biggest porn production of the year.  Arabian Nights was co-directed by Ben Leon and Chris Ward, with Cruz doing all the videography work for the Chris Ward part of the movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I am very excited to be working with Steve,"&lt;/span&gt; commented Ward. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; "He has talent--he really understands sex and how to film it. I have watched him grow over the many years and I can say that he is as good as it gets.  I guess what really makes him click with me is that he and I seem to have the same understanding and feeling for what makes hot porn--from general ideas about casting down to the minor details, like how long to hold a shot or what angles to get.  Having a good team mate when making movies is critical to a director, and having Steve on the camera really makes me happy."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When asked to comment on his promotion, Steve said &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"My head is kind of spinning! This next phase of my career is proving to be the most exciting yet. I am honored to be working along side Chris, and he's excited to be directing full time again.  I'm grateful to have such an accomplished mentor in my life. Learning, growing and co-creating under a huge talent I've admired from day one? It's really too good to be true.  When Chris discovered me in 2006, I was flattered and curious about how far I could go in this business, but I wasn't sure how I'd be received.  Like everything I do, I just put my heart and soul and everything I have into it... the journey has incredible, often surprising- mind blowing!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steve Cruz Bio:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What can we say about the insatiable and ambitious Steve Cruz? Dark, handsome and hairy... when it comes to sex he can never get enough. Often called the studio's sex pig, he's the guy that looks like he's having the time of his life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was discovered in San Francisco by Chris Ward in 2006 and immediately cast to star in two major projects, 'Lords of the Jungle' and 'Mirage'. Success came quickly after his debut. He starred in 7 consecutive movies for several major gay porn producers including a GAYVN and Grabby Award winning performance in 'Link: The Evolution'. But he's probably most remembered for his performances after signing as a Raging Stallion Exclusive in 2007, where he remains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His videography also includes Raging Stallion favorites such as  'GRUNTS' (Best Picture 2008 GAYVN and Grabby Awards), 'Focus/Refocus', 'Ink Storm' (GAYVN Best Fetish film 2008), and a self-penned adaptation of Faust, 'Hotter Than Hell pt. 1 and 2'.  In 2008, he was named Raging Stallion's Man of The Year, the studio's highest honor. That same year he won the Grabby for Best Newcomer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Chris Ward's blessing Steve took a short hiatus from performing to pursue an opportunity to direct movies. The co-directed first effort, Mustang/Falcon's 'Blue Movie' was nominated for Best All Sex at GAYVNs and Grabbys in 2009. Ironically in that same year he won the Grabby for Performer of the Year and Best Website. Naked Sword also honored him with their coveted Man of the Year Award, 2009 and contributed to his self-funded safe sex campaign, 'How I Roll.info', producing the Steve Cruz condom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steve brought new discovery Bruno Bond to Raging Stallion in 2009. Chris Ward convinced the two to star in 'Menace', and Steve was back in front of the lens. On the set they fell in love, a 'bond' that is still going strong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under the guidance of Executive Producer Chris Ward, Steve and Bruno launched their membership site HardFriction.com... filming, editing and sometimes starring in their own scenes. Their first DVD, the self titled 'Hard Friction' was well received by reviewers and fans alike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the fall of 2009, adaptive Steve not only starred in but was also cinematographer along side Ben Leon in Chris Ward's 'Tales of the Arabian Nights', the long awaited follow-up in the Arabesque series. Steve and Bruno as Hard Friction produced all the Behind the Scenes and Bonus Content for the film which releases in Early Spring 2010. Coming full circle from performer, to producer, cinematographer to director he continues to adapt and grow and contribute to the success of the Raging Stallion family of companies. Fans are excited to see where he takes them next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Further Information:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contact: Kent Taylor, RagingStallion.com, 1155 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, 415-503-1969 1-877-327-0707 Fax: 415-503-1962 Web: &lt;a href="https://www.ragingstallion.com" target="_blank"&gt;Ragingstallion.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Email: &lt;a href="mailto:kent@ragingstallion.com"&gt;kent@ragingstallion.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31005231-7319623353357256686?l=www.chriswardpornblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/2010/02/chris-ward-names-steve-cruz-as-his-new.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Chris Ward)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31005231.post-4560990922610305170</guid><pubDate>Tue, 12 Jan 2010 21:01:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-12T13:11:17.668-08:00</atom:updated><title>Raging Stallion To Release non-XXX version of Focus/Refocus</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/FRF_Rrated_dvdFNT_blogdpi-744765.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/FRF_Rrated_dvdFNT_blogdpi-744621.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;San Francisco. CA. - Gay adult industry giant Raging Stallion Studios is entering the new decade with the expansion of their distribution into the general retail arena. President Chris Ward has decided to edit their 4 disc smash-hit &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Focus/ReFocus&lt;/span&gt; into a non-XXX, retail friendly version, which will be released on DVD by Breaking Glass Pictures on March 30th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Raging Stallion  received the 2008 and 2009 GAYVN Best Picture awards, and Focus/Refocus is a strong contender to become the winner this year.  Director Tony Dimarco delivers a plot-driven murder mystery that proudly stands in quality with most indie Hollywood films.  Focus/ReFocus is an erotic rollercoaster ride that thrills and kills with reckless abandon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dimarco is excited about the upcoming release: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“I have been making heavily plot driven films for years and Chris suggested that we fully film a mainstream retail version of our XXX feature for general release.  It was a great opportunity for me to express myself as a film maker.  This is a very sexy mainstream movie.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Company president Chris Ward also had a lot to say about the new venture.  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“This is the first time that RSS has ventured into the non-porn entertainment industry.  We shot Focus / ReFocus with the idea that it could be reworked into a mainstream release. What surprised all of us was how excited the distributors were to get their hands on this movie!  Obviously here at RSS we are all proud that our work quality is now considered up to Hollywood standards!"&lt;/span&gt;:  When asked why the mainstream version lists only Tony Dimarco as the director (the XXX was directed by Tony, Ben  Leon, and Chris Ward) he noted that most of the footage used in the mainstream version was directed by Dimarco. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“Although Ben and I directed some of the footage utilized in the non-porn version, Tony directed 90% of it.  Ultimately, this movie is his and he has earned solo director credit.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A summary of the plot :In San Francisco, Joe (Cole Streets) is a porn- obsessed twenty-something who loves to film his hot boyfriend Eddie (David Taylor, Raging Stallion’s Man of the Year 2010) having sex. Eddie is not interested in being filmed, but that doesn't stop Cole! The plot thickens as someone e-mails him a clip of Dario Stefano (Steve Cruz), his favorite porn star, in a private home video. When Eddie’s “costars” start turning up dead, Joe finds himself on a deadly disturbing adventure that he himself might not survive!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The edited version of Focus/ReFocus will be available through all major retailers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you require additional information, interviews with cast or directors, or final DVDs with Bonus Features email: &lt;a href="mailto:Justin@bgpics.com"&gt;Justin@bgpics.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.breakingglasspictures.com/" target="_blank"&gt;www.BreakingGlassPictures.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/BreakingGlassPictures" target="_blank"&gt;Facebook.com/BreakingGlassPictures&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/BGPics" target="_blank"&gt;Youtube.com/BGPics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Richard Wolff,&lt;br /&gt;CEO, Breaking Glass Pictures&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Further Information:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contact: Kent Taylor, RagingStallion.com, 1155 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, 415-503-1969 1-877-327-0707 Fax: 415-503-1962 Web: &lt;a href="https://www.ragingstallion.com" target="_blank"&gt;Ragingstallion.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Email: &lt;a href="mailto:kent@ragingstallion.com"&gt;kent@ragingstallion.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31005231-4560990922610305170?l=www.chriswardpornblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/2010/01/raging-stallion-to-release-non-xxx.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Chris Ward)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31005231.post-4515161324717424887</guid><pubDate>Tue, 05 Jan 2010 21:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-05T13:11:53.424-08:00</atom:updated><title>Raging Stallion Takes Top Honors in  Mannet.com's Top 100 List!</title><description>San Francisco-based Raging Stallion Studios once again took top honors on the &lt;a href="http://www.mannet.com" target="_blank"&gt;Mannet.com&lt;/a&gt; list of best films of 2009, garnering a record 18 individual movies on the prestigious list. Butch Harris, editor of Mannet.com ("gay erotica's best click") has published his top 100 list for 13 years. A quick scan thru past lists is an excellent way to view the history of Gay Porn. Raging Stallion first appeared on this list ten years ago (the studio was founded in 1999 by Chris Ward and JD Slater). Raging Stallion has dominated the list for the past several years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Mannet.com has always been one of my favorite sites"&lt;/span&gt; commented Chris Ward. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Butch Harris is a man of integrity and a real supporter of our industry. I always enjoy his thorough reviews---even if sometimes I strongly disagree with him! We are thrilled to be the number one pick on his list--eighteen titles in the top 100! What really excites me about this is that it shows the depth of our quality here at Raging Stallion Studios--all of our movies are good, and most are unbelievably excellent."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Raging Stallion released nearly one movie per week during the past year for a total of of 50 DVDs, some of which were collections and compilations. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"We have a very strong schedule for 2010, with about 60 planned releases, of which 30 will be brand new productions."&lt;/span&gt; The breakdown of the 2010 planned releases includes 18 major Raging Stallion two disc sets, 4 Monster Bang two disc sets, 9 fetish films, 15 collection/compilation DVDs, 6 Twink films, 3 High Octane movies, and 3 Hard Friction films.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A highlight of the 2010 season will be &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Tales of The Arabian Nights&lt;/span&gt;, a major 4 disc return to a Middle Eastern theme that will be released in March and June. The dozen sex scenes that make up this project were filmed in late 2009 and are now in edit. This is Chris Ward's return to the Arabesque genre that made the studio into the top producer of male erotica in the United States. Arabesque remains the studio's highest selling film to date and is one of the all-time top sellers in the gay porn industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Further Information:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contact: Kent Taylor, RagingStallion.com, 1155 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, 415-503-1969 1-877-327-0707 Fax: 415-503-1962 Web: &lt;a href="https://www.ragingstallion.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Ragingstallion.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Email: &lt;a href="mailto:kent@ragingstallion.com"&gt;kent@ragingstallion.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31005231-4515161324717424887?l=www.chriswardpornblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/2010/01/raging-stallion-takes-top-honors-in.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Chris Ward)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31005231.post-1633640133912717777</guid><pubDate>Wed, 30 Dec 2009 13:20:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-12-30T05:25:52.809-08:00</atom:updated><title>Vote for Your Favorite Website!</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://cybersocketwebawards.com/vote.php" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

The annual get-together attracts everybody who is             anybody in the Gay adult industry and is one of the high points of             the Folsom Street Fair weekend.  Well over 100 porn stars from             all major studios attended the party.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Chris Ward said that 2009 was another banner year for Raging Stallion,             which earlier this year merged with AEBN.  He selected Taylor             and Wilde to be the studio's representatives based on many factors,             not the least of which was their sexual energy and good looks. &lt;em&gt;"Both             of these men are superstars--and both represent what Raging Stallion             is all about:  Hot masculine men who enjoy life to the fullest.             David and Austin are top talents, and we at Raging Stallion are proud             to have them in our stable of stars."&lt;/em&gt;  Ward went on to             note that this year he had a particularly difficult task in making             his choice--hence a tie for the top spot.  &lt;em&gt;"We have so             many talented performers working for us--every year it gets harder             and harder to make this selection.  I almost decided to drop             the award because, quite frankly, eight or ten of our guys could             have easily been named Man of the Year."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;When asked about his honor, the usually calm Austin Wilde was very             excited.  &lt;em&gt;"Wow,  I am so honored and surprised to             be named Raging Stallion Studios "Man of the Year" in             my first break out year in this business. Raging has become my home             in the short time I have been here, and Chris, Kent, and their team             have made me feel like family. I am looking forward to exploring             all the sides of me that I am sure they will bring out, and to all             the exciting things in the year ahead. I am glad to be associated             with the #1 Studio in the USA."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;David Taylor was also thrilled to be given one of the top honors             in Gay Porn: &lt;em&gt;"Wow! What an honor it is to be Named Man of             the Year along with Austin Wilde . It has been such an amazing experience             to work with Raging Stallion and all the wonderful and talented people             they have.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This Film Focus/Refocus would have to be the highlight of the               year for me. Cole streets and Scott Tanner were incredible to work             with. I am Honored to be in the stable with Raging Stallion."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Austin Wilde recently finished filming of the long awaited sequel             to Arabesque, and David Taylor recently completed principal photography  for             his role as the co-star of Focus / ReFocus, the big RSS blockbuster             film due out on Thanksgiving weekend. &lt;/p&gt;           &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt; &lt;!--StartFragment--&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 12, 21);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt;"&gt;Both Austin Wilde and David Taylor are represented by Fabscout.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; &lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;        &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="center"&gt;For   Further   Information:&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;" class="style10" align="center"&gt;Contact:             Kent Taylor,             RagingStallion.com,             1155             Mission             Street,             San Francisco,             CA 94103,              415-503-1969             1-877-327-0707             Fax: 415-503-1962             Web: Ragingstallion.com       &lt;br /&gt;    Email: &lt;a href="mailto:kent@ragingstallion.com"&gt;kent@ragingstallion.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31005231-1859391687908024861?l=www.chriswardpornblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/2009/09/raging-stallion-studios-names-david.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Chris Ward)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31005231.post-4576536365660450395</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-14T13:56:26.331-07:00</atom:updated><title>Coming Thanksgiving Week - The Movie Event of the Year!</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/FRF_teaserBLOG-748359.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 232px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/FRF_teaserBLOG-748298.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31005231-4576536365660450395?l=www.chriswardpornblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/2009/09/coming-thanksgiving-week-movie-event-of.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Chris Ward)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31005231.post-2487134789783028448</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-07T07:50:15.288-07:00</atom:updated><title>UNZIPPED MEDIA RELEASES HISTORY-MAKING MARGARET CHO—RICKY SINZ COVER</title><description>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Outrageous comic Margaret Cho joins Raging Stallion Studios exclusive Ricky Sinz for the August Unzipped “Hot Issue”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/U0908-Cover-709331.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 234px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/U0908-Cover-709328.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;July 7, 2009 (LOS ANGELES) -- Unzipped Media, publishers of the world’s top-selling erotic men’s magazines Men, Freshmen, and Unzipped, presents the August 2009 cover of Unzipped magazine featuring icon Margaret Cho and Ricky Sinz, a Raging Stallion Studios exclusive.

This was Tony Dimarco's first major project for Raging Stallion Studios and was filmed in the lush forests of northern California.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://store.ragingstallion.com/show.php?s=276_1" target="_blank" border="0"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 136px; height: 190px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/1226096245TTLM_collectFrt-754105.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Raging Stallion’s To The Last Man, the film the swept the 2009 GAYVN Awards, also walked away with top honors including Scott Tanner for Best Supporting Actor, Damien Crosses for Best Solo, and the hard-core rape scene with Logan McCree, Ricky Sinz and Scott Tanner won Best Three-Way. Directors Chris Ward, Ben Leon and Tony Dimarco did not go unnoticed, winning the coveted Best Director prize for the western epic. Other awards winners that night included Antonio Biaggi for Hottest Cock and Steve Cruz for “Best Porn star Website” &lt;a href="http://www.stevecruzxxx.com/" target="_blank"&gt;stevecruzxxx.com&lt;/a&gt;. Steve Cruz was also named one of the Performers of the Year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chris Ward, who was vacationing in Vienna when the awards were announced, wired &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“I’m extremely proud of my team of talented performers and directors. It’s been a great year for us and it shows the all the hard work paid off. I am amazed that we won Best Picture this year for Two different movies! It shows the depth of our quality."&lt;/span&gt; This is the first time in gay porn history where one studio has won Best Picture for two different movies in the same year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Drifter was a very different film from To The Last Man--whereas the western epic was controversial for its unabashed violence--all but one of the characters are killed in the movie--The Drifter is a romantic love story. The chemistry on the set was excellent and McCree and D'Angelo have just celebrated their one year anniversary as real life boyfriends. They fell in love shooting this film. McCree co-authored the story and said at the time of shooting that the plot of the movie (a guy wandering thru the woods and coming across a cabin with a hot stud inside!) was one of his all time fantasies. In The Drifter, Logan's fantasy actually became his reality!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;For Further Information:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contact: Kent Taylor, RagingStallion.com, 1155 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, 415-503-1969 1-877-327-0707 Fax: 415-503-1962 Web: &lt;a href="http://www.ragingstallion.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Ragingstallion.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Email: &lt;a href="mailto:kent@ragingstallion.com"&gt;kent@ragingstallion.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31005231-7213358407538138625?l=www.chriswardpornblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/2009/05/raging-stallion-sweeps-2009-grabby.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Chris Ward)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31005231.post-254305238989052348</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:13:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-21T21:27:49.163-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>automate</category><title>David Taylor Signs Exclusive Contract with  Raging Stallion Studios</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://store.ragingstallion.com/show.php?a=6022&amp;amp;st=1&amp;amp;sid=65" target="_blank" border="0"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 136px; height: 200px;" src="http://www.chriswardpornblog.com/uploaded_images/davidtaylor1-769332.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;San Francisco porn powerhouse Raging Stallion Studios has signed stunning California heartthrob &lt;a href="http://store.ragingstallion.com/show.php?a=6022&amp;amp;st=1&amp;amp;sid=65" target="_blank" border="0"&gt;David Taylor&lt;/a&gt; to a long-term exclusive modeling contract to appear in films and print media.
