Adult Time Launches Two New Gonzo Banners

MONTREAL—Adult Time has launched a pair of new gonzo banners: Raunch and All-Sex Studio (A.S.S.). "I absolutely love this approach to series development. Identifying two promising concepts—one that I created and another born from the mindhive of our internal team—and then collaborating with our talented directors to bring their unique voices and styles to each project has been an exciting journey," Adult Time chief creative officer Bree Mills said.   “It's given us two distinct ways to test out the gonzo market, and I couldn’t resist stepping in to direct one myself (speculum and all)!" Mills continued. "I'm thrilled to hear what our Adult Time members think over the coming months, as we use their feedback to shape the future of our gonzo creations."   Raunch, which kicked off November 7 with “Vanessa Takes a Filthy Fist Fuck” starring Vanessa Vega and Lucas Frost, is billed as "Adult Time’s boldest and smuttiest series yet, getting down to basics with plenty of teasing, foreplay and down and dirty sex!"   Directing team Anatomik Media enthused, "We’re thrilled to be diving into this new series—every scene is raw, intense and high energy. We’ve just scratched the surface, and we can’t wait for everyone to feel the heat that is Raunch!"   AVN Hall of Fame director Jim Powers, who shot a scene for Raunch, offered: "I really enjoyed shooting a scene for Raunch. It was like a throwback gonzo style from the early ‘00s. Wide-angle lens right up in the action, swooping around, catching everything. Just raw energy and nasty, sweaty, spit-spewing, sucking and fucking. It was fun!"   Performer/director Avery Black added, "The new Raunch series is coming in hot with high-energy talent, with emphasis on their incredible curves. It’s been a pleasure shooting with seasoned and new talent alike."   All-Sex Studio (A.S.S.)—which makes its debut today with “The Back Door” starring Sophia Burns and Slim Poke—takes viewers back to the classic gonzo scenes of the late ‘90s/early ‘00s, but with a modern twist ... and promises anal in every scene.   Director/performer Casey Calvert said of the label, "I've been primarily directing narrative content since the beginning of my directing career, but gonzo has always held a close spot in my heart. As a performer, it's one of my favorite things to shoot, so I was really excited when Bree tossed me the opportunity to direct a pilot, and shoot camera, for A.S.S.   “I really wanted to create an environment for the performers to shine, so we kept everything simple, and I hired two of the best all-sex performers in the industry—Anna Claire Clouds and Vince Karter—and they did not disappoint," Calvert revealed. "I had so much fun on set, and I really hope the fans love what we did. I also want to add a thank you to Adult Time. I really appreciate the way they involved a bunch of directors to test out adding original gonzo content onto the platform; it's inspiring to be able to put creative energy into a project knowing my peers are doing the same."   Director/performer Siouxsie Q expressed her passion for the project as well: "I love that the A.S.S. series allows us to provide an environment where performers are truly given space to focus on authenticity and intensity while showcasing their unique skills and personality with this throwback brand.   “I have such a special place in my heart for gonzo media, and I’m overjoyed that Adult Time has created an opportunity for performers who excel at that type of content to thrive. We are so committed to honoring the work of the sensational artist-athletes that we are fortunate enough to work with, and it’s awesome to have a product where that can be really showcased and prioritized."   Director/performer Michael Vegas added, "With A.S.S., the brilliant Bree Mills gave each director a chance to do gonzo their own way, whether it be a classic white couch or a glam-lit resort. I am very excited to get to be a creator for our new anal-focused iteration of this, ‘The Back Door.’ I am automatically drawn to any project that is butt-focused, so this was a perfect match.   “The real secret sauce is that when performers have the freedom to choose their co-stars, the chances of capturing potent chemistry skyrocket," he went on to note. "For example, getting to see the Sophia Burns and Slim Poke matchup really reminds me why I love this job so much; getting to see professional sex athletes meet up and throw down like that is magic. Big butts and big gapes from beautiful girls covered in oil—what more could you ask for? I think gonzo has found a new home at Adult Time."   For more, visit AdultTime.com.
