Tim von Swine Collects XRCO Nominations

LOS ANGELES, CA — The 2016 XRCO Awards nominations included a pair for veteran director and performer Tim von Swine.   This year, Tim earned a nomination for Best Director Non-Features.   "There are a lot of dudes who shoot smut," says von Swine. "There are a lot of really talented guys who do this and never see their names on this list. To have the men and women who critique porn for a living appreciate my work enough to consider me for this award is a great honor."  von Swine's work on the POV Pervert series was again recognized, earning a sixth consecutive nomination as Best POV Series. In the five years since XRCO began recognizing POV Series as a category, no other POV line has earned the award.  "I know we always say that it's great to be nominated," he says. "And believe me, it is. But I won't lie, winning is pretty damn sweet. Mike (John) and I have put a lot of our blood, sweat, and other juices into this line, and we are proud of it. Last year, we got one for the thumb, as they say, but I have a whole other hand to fill up, not to mention another appendage to hang hardware off of."  When he isn’t shooting POV, von Swine keeps busy with Swiney’s Pro-Am, his members-based streaming site currently available through C4Slive.com. "We are finding that the fans really relate to what we're doing," says von Swine. "Whether it's the real sexuality that the women bring or the non-threatening nature of watching real dudes bang on camera, we have found an audience. I just want to keep doing what I do. Who knows, if this keeps growing maybe the critics will recognize my other skills and you will see name up there with Manuel, Lex, Mick and Flash."  The XRCO Awards take place on June 22 in Hollywood. Members of the adult entertainment industry are invited to RSVP here.
