LOS ANGELES — Michelle Austin Films and VIP Digital Media have signed a five-year distribution deal, which will include distribution of Kennston’s old and new titles.
“Michelle Austin Films and Kennston have been in the industry for years now and are doing amazing things for the trans niche,” a representative said. “In 2014 they launched their first FTM title, ‘Trans Men Adventures.’ Since then they have launched numerous titles that feature trans men in them. Owners Michelle Austin and Dicky Johnson strive hard to create hot porn with trans men and women. In 2015 they launched their all FTM site, FTM.xxx, which updates every month with new talent. MA Films has been nominated for XBIZ, TEAs and Feminist Porn Awards."
Michelle Austin added, “Dicky and I have been trying to get a distribution deal for over a year now. We have our DVDs in a few stores which we self distribute. However, everywhere we go stores tell us they want more FTM content. It's hard to get into stores without an exclusive distributor. This deal will change the game for us and allow us to make more films. We plan to be more outside the box and creative.”
“I couldn’t be happier to make the porn I have been dying to see,” enthused co-owner Dicky Johnson. “As I move more behind the camera, this distribution deal will allow me to do more of the things I have been wanting to do. I know fans would love to walk into their local adult store and find our titles, and now we will be able to give them that access.”
VIP Digital Media sales manager David Peskin chimed, “Doing this distribution deal with Michelle Austin Films was an absolute no brainer for Lynton and I. I actually got to know both Michelle and Dicky over the years at the trade shows and award shows. At each award show, their titles were always up for awards.
“We all know how big the TS market is,” Peskin added. “F2M seems to be a major void. There just isn’t enough quality product in this niche. Michelle Austin Films offers a unique product for consumers of multiple genres.”
The first two titles slated to release under the distribution deal are, “Transcest: An Unreal Family Tale” and “Trans Man Adventures.” To view the box covers and trailers, click here.
Directed by Roald Blunt, “Transcest: An Unreal Family Tale” features Austin, Eddie Wood and Shiri Trap, while “Trans Man Adventures” stars Austin, James Darling, Fritz Von Fuckup, Chance Armstrong and Parker Reed, directed by James Darling.
Then, Michelle Austin Films plans to release “Stroking Alone 2” and “50 Shades of a Tranny: A Porn Documentary,” which recently received a Toronto International Porn Festival award.
