Since the studio was founded in 2003, ClubAmateurUSA content has only been available for purchase online.
“After more than two years looking for the best company to take the ClubAmateurUSA content and brand into the brick-and-mortar retail segment, I am thrilled to be partnering with Rob, David and All Boys Video Distribution,” said Casey Black, CEO and Managing Partner of JV Squared LLC, ClubAmateurUSA’s parent company.
The match seems beneficial for both parties involved.
According to ABV’s Rob Ragan, “Casey was dead serious. When he contacted me, initially, he said he’s been searching for a distributor forever.
“What I gathered from the conversation I had with him in the beginning was that he was looking for a distributor that really cared about what they were doing and just wasn’t playing hot potato with products. A lot of distributors out there in the gay market distribute so many lines, they don’t know one line from the next in some cases.”
“I don’t do that with my company,” Ragan continued. “I try to keep the amount of companies I represent on a smaller number. We handpick each studio based on quality – the quality of the shooting, the quality of the models, the quality of the sound, the cover art, everything.
According to Ragan, one major difference between the gay and straight markets is that the gay aesthetic calls for higher production values across the board. With typically higher retail prices than the straight market, the gay consumer expects high-end product and will pay for quality.
“So, That’s another reason why David and I are so selective about who we represent,” Ragan said. “Because it doesn’t do me any good to charge somebody a premium dollar amount for sub-par product.”
ABV’s David Adamson said, “This is another example of ABV representing professional studios that have their act together. Casey has been a large contributor to our industry, and I’m glad we were able to come to an agreement that will benefit all of us – especially the fans.”
Starting in July, ABV will start distributing one ClubAmateurUSA title per month. The studio has more than 50 titles of original, exclusive content.
Other studios distributed by ABV include David Adamson’s own DandE Productions, Seymore Dick’s Presents, Rocky Brown’s Eon Films, Rolf Hammerstein’s Hammer Entertainment, Afton Nills’ Sin City Twinks, and Don Ross’ Commando and Erectus lines.
