Multifaceted VOD Deal Features New Titles, Original Content Production
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Leading gay VOD site NakedSword.com has signed Studio 2000 to a VOD distribution deal. In addition to new and classic productions from the acclaimed studio, NakedSword will lend its marketing muscle to help promote Studio 2000’s major fall release, Rangers. Studio 2000 approached NakedSword to help them diversify their VOD presence beyond their current provider.

“Studio 2000 was one of the first major video producers on our site and we’re thrilled to have them back,” said Tim Valenti, President of NakedSword. “They know that the full value of NakedSword lies beyond our vast consumer base. Our knowledge of gay adult content helps us articulate a studio’s vision and promote them across multiple mediums.” In addition to streaming sites like NakedSword.com and the ClubThrust.com (developed in partnership with Jenna Jameson), NakedSword produces the award-winning Tim & Roma Show webcast (www.timandroma.com) and works with GayVN-winning writers Michael Stabile and Jack Shamama to publish the Gay Porn Blog (www.gaypornblog.com). In July, NakedSword will arrrange the gay portion of the Temptation Awards.

NakedSword is also helping produce supporting content to help promote Rangers. Tim and Roma Show producer Michael Stabile was on-set in June filming behind-the-scenes footage that will be used on the site when the movie debuts on the NakedSword network in a special same-day-as-DVD limited-release. NakedSword has previously worked with other studios on similar promotions, but Rangers is the first time the company will work with a studio on a title from shoot to release.

“Studio 2000 is very excited to partner with NakedSword again,” said David McKay, President & CEO of Studio 2000. “NakedSword is unrivalled in its ability to promote brands and studios, and their creative, long-term approach to the VOD market attests to their extensive experience streaming video.”

NakedSword.com has been a leader in online gay adult VOD since 1997. Its innovative membership and pay-per-view models allow users unlimited access to its 3,500 online video library, featuring full-length titles from over 100 studios including Falcon, Titan, COLT, Lucas Entertainment, Raging Stallion, Jet Set and Studio 2000.
