L.T. Does His Own Thing With Brutha's Inc.

PORN VALLEY—With close to 100 directing credits to his name, L.T.’s worked for a lot of companies. But now the veteran performer and director is doing his own thing, with distribution help from Pure Play Media. Under the imprint Brutha’s Inc., he is releasing both his titles and others directed by Buddha. Though L.T. has done it all, where he’s really made his mark is in the ethnic genre. For instance, in 2013 he picked up two AVN Awards for his work at Elegant Angel: Porn’s Top Black Models 3 won for Best Ethnic Release – Black and Latin Mommas 2 was named Best Ethnic Release – Latin. L.T.’s first release from Brutha’s Inc. is out, and it’s a real eye catcher. The title is The Big Black Ass Movie, and the visual on the cover doesn’t disappoint. It’s explicit yet elegant, and according to L.T., fans have responded. Talking about the distribution deal with Pure Play Media, L.T. said it was struck some time ago, but it took him a while to get things going. “This is what I really wanted to do when I left Elegant. I was caught up in the moment and taking other jobs with other companies just to keep the band going, but I just didn’t have enough say-so in what I wanted to do.” He points out that The Big Black Ass Movie sold out at AdultEmpire.com and is in the top 10 at XRent.com and CDUniverse.com. “I’m happy now that I’ve got this going, and I think it’s going to do very well. A lot of people seem to support it already. I don’t know if it’s the title of the movie or my name—directed by L.T. is attached to it. I think it’s a little bit of both, if you ask me.” “And I have another release coming March 31 called The Black Show, and it’s a mixture of stuff. It’s got boy/girl scenes, it’s got anal scenes, it’s got girl/girl scenes, it’s got blowjob scenes—I put it all in one movie.” The titles will be all ethnic—black and Latino. “This is who Brutha’s Inc. is. We’re an ethnic company—that’s what it is,” L.T. explained. “We might do some with white girls down the line,” he added, “but for the most part it’s all black and Latin.” And with so many interracial titles on the market right now, doing “black-on-black with fresh content,” L.T. asserted, sets Brutha’s apart. “That’s what the [Pure Play] salesman said: ‘You’ve hit it on the head with this one.’ That’s why this movie is doing so well.” And there's more on the way. “I have a release coming from my other director called Chocolate City, and that’s going to release in April. And then we have Fresh Latin Pickups, also directed by Buddha.” The other thing that’s different about his new movies, according to L.T., “It’s new girls—that’s what’s making it so special. ... Basically they’ve just been on websites, but not DVD. There’s maybe one girl who’s been on DVD, and that’s Lexi Amor. Jamaica Bandz, the first DVD ever. I have Chicago Peach, I have Bianka Chanel, I have Montana Starr—she’s in it. These are amateur girls—fresh girls. “These two titles are pro-am, which is something I never did at Elegant—something that I always wanted to do. And I like it.” He mused, “Patrick and Graham gave me a lot of leeway to put my magic on my movies and actually that has inspired me to keep doing that. When I was working for other people, I just couldn’t do what I wanted to do. Now I can do what I want. It’s my thing. … I’m happy about that.”
