April 2008

Jay and I have had the great fortune to finally be able to try something we've been kicking around for a long time - creating an alternate reality game! NW_SR's 'The Four' was a perfect vehicle for this type of stealth marketing, and we kicked it off with Craig's list postings across the US, seeking information on a "missing necklace, a family heirloom circa 480BC".
We must say, it caused a much bigger stir in the press than we had imagined. "Kronos480BC" was featured in XBiz, Fleshbot and Technorati, as well as ARG news sites ARGN.net and Despoiler.org. It turns out that we hold the title for first ARG created for an adult movie release. I don't think there's a Guiness Record for that, but we're still proud of the accomplishment!

February 2008
Wow! Time flies. 2007 brought us new clients A! Entertainment, Joy Hollywood Wholesale, The Generator, and the folks from Bondage Ball. Ninn Worx merged with Spearmint Rhino back in August of 2007, and they are hard at work on Ninn Worx/Spearmint Rhino's first major feature The Four. AEE was stellar, and we have been very happy with the press interest in 'The Four', as shown by this piece on AdultFYI. This looks like an incredible opportunity for Black and Blue Media to do a lot of the more interesting types of promotion for this company and this movie. We're looking forward to working with the Rhino's fully developed creative wing to do all kinds of cool things. Look out Comic-Con!

December 2006
Black and Blue Media is thrilled to announce that we will be handling the publicity for Ninn Worx, beginning with the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in January.

Working with Ninn Worx is a dream come true for us, as Michael Ninn has in many ways single-handedly changed the face of adult video. Ninn's dynamic, inventive and creative titles have taken our industry's production standards up quite a few notches from where it began with the Mitchell Brothers and Alex DeRenzy shooting in borrowed apartments on the sly. The beauty and etherial imagery that Ninn Worx has become famous for, provides a wonderful canvas for Black and Blue Media's own art form: presentation of quality products for the adult audience.

November 2006
This has been a busy month for Black and Blue Media. . . . First we'd like to congratulate our production and distribution company clients on their AVN Award nominations; Platinum Blue Productions and Distribution has received 6 nominations for their various titles, including 'Best Director - Video' and 'Best Videography' for Airgazmic: The Capture, the sky diving extravaganza directed and written by Skye Blue. Additionally, the very well received first offering from new production company SLLAB received nods for seven awards. 'Frank Castle's 'The New Neighbors', was nominated for 'Best Video Feature', 'Best Director - Video', 'Best Actress - Video' for Linda Roberts, 'Best Actor - Video' for Mike Horner, 'Best Screenplay' and 'Best New Production Company', among others.

"For a movie to get this kind of recognition, it takes everyone working together and doing their very best in every aspect of the production and post production to make it stand out. Black and Blue Media did exceptional publicity work for The New Neighbors, and I am happy to have them as part of my team. We're all celebrating these seven nominations together, because we all worked hard for them," said Best Director - Video Nominee, Frank Castle.

The celebration of this great news came just as we are moving into new office space in Canoga Park, California and getting ready to expand our client list. Frank Castle and Linda Roberts of Marquis Productions is planning to re-energize their company now that they have AVN nominations to their credit and Black and Blue Media is poised to add Marquis to their client roster in early 2007.

Unfortunately, the office move was not planned as far in advance as we would have liked. Our contact information in the AVN ID Directory and YellowPages.com is not up to date at this time and it would be deeply appreciated if you could email media@blackandblueusa.com for the correct Black and Blue Media contact information.

In other news... Effective on November 23rd, SLLAB is planning to curtail production, and we bid farewell to our friends, Ed and Loring Ward. We wish them great success in their future endeavors and know that all of our excellent work on promoting the yet released Trophy Wives four part vignette series, Jennifer James Phantom of the Porn Stage and Arch Angel's Vampire Chronicles 1 through 3 have set them on the path to achieve their goals in moving these titles. Good luck to Marc at CED on the new SLLAB venture!

All our best,
Jay and Sherry

Demons, depraved orgies, exorcism, perversion and even a nun who does gang bangs, are all involved in the sordid story of how one quiet community responds to an invasion by a subversive force of evil.

The New Neighbors stars Linda Roberts, Mike Horner, Haley Paige and Jack Venice as the all American Brody family. Nicki Hunter, Randy Spears, Steven St. Croix and Tommy Gunn menace as the arcane force that will rip apart the tranquility of Cedar Lane. The beautiful Tyla Wynn and Barbara Summer take on intense multi-penetration roles as the story hurtles to it's dramatic conclusion.

Sweet, sensual Harmony takes the romantic female lead. Steven St. Croix portrays the tragic 'Phantom.' Blazing sex scenes scheduled feature Nicky Hunter, Cody, Kristen Price and Brooke Hunter.

To expand the universe of The Vampire Chronicles, Penny Flame, Brooke Hunter and Mason Storm will incarnate lusty female roles in the turn of the century story line. New characters portrayed by Herschal Savage, Kurt Lockwood and Don Hollywood will build the suspense along with the bloodlust.
