Elegant Angel Wins Multiple XRCO Awards

LOS ANGELES — Elegant Angel took home multiple trophys at this year's XRCO (X-Rated Critics Organization) Awards show. 

“Wasteland” won this year's XRCO awards for Best Release, Best Director Graham Travis and Best Actress Lily Carter. 

Elegant Angel also won for Best Gonzo Movie, “Insatiable 3,” starring Asa Akira and directed by Mason.  

William H. picked up the award for Best Director of Non-Features for his series, Performers of the Year and Swimsuit Calendar Girls. 

Patrick Collins (Elegant Angel's owner) was elated that Wasteland got the recognition that he believes it deserves. 

"'Wasteland' was a movie that was extremely well-written (which is why Graham's dream of becoming a professional writer is clearly his calling, and one I believe he will be hugely successful at),” Collins said. “When I first read the script, I could see it. Graham's genius was in capturing what I saw in my mind's eye when I read it. Graham's accomplishment is unparalleled in anything that I have ever seen in this industry. Not only did Graham accomplish this, but I believe it would be impossible to replicate ... by anyone.

"Also, without Bruce Carter's audio, ‘Wasteland’ would have been a good movie ... but not a great one. Graham's script conveyed the depth it did because everything from his casting to his crew was flawless. He did everything required to get the best from everyone. Performances of such high-caliber are rare, to say the least.

"Wasteland was perfect. Therefore, Lily Carter certainly deserves the award for Best Actress, as does Graham for Best Director, as do all of the other people who were involved in making this production what I consider to be the best production ever to come out of this company.

"Our future as a company is transitioning because I believe in better .. always and in all ways. This release was an emotional experience that left an impression on me of what great writing, a lot of hard work, and a little bit of luck can do.

"My personal congratulations to Graham, Asa, Lily and William H."?
