Next Door Studios Taps Paul Wagner as Director of Casting, Production

MONTREAL — Next Door Studios announced today the addition of Paul Wagner as its director of casting and production.

Wagner is a popular star who has been prominent in the gay adult industry for the past four years.

"Paul has extensive experience in front of the camera," said Stephan Sirard, president of Next Door Entertainment. "He knows what it takes to make great gay adult content and we anticipate his leadership will play a pivotal role in our ongoing efforts to produce high quality entertainment that our fans crave."

Prior to his new position, Wagner worked as a model with Next Door. The studio said that as a result of his on-camera experience he has gained valuable insight into content production and studio culture.

"One of the most valuable assets for a studio is to have top notch models representing your brand but it is also very important to have a dedicated crew," Wagner said.

He added, "This combination is what will make or break a studio's success — and I feel that Next Door Studios is well positioned to continue climbing to the top."

Wagner will be responsible for overseeing the quality of content produced by Next Door by using his creativity and attention to detail to strengthen its production capabilities.

"I am very proud to be a part of the success that Stephan and Next Door Studios have already established and look forward to helping us grow in the future," Wagner said.
