Falcon/NakedSword Snags 3 XBIZ Awards, Including Gay Movie of the Year

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Falcon/NakedSword nabbed three 2023 XBIZ Awards, including Gay Movie of the Year for the Tony Dimarco-directed feature "Ride Or Die."

Dimarco also took home the award for Gay Director of the Year.

“‘Ride Or Die’ was an extremely ambitious project, one that couldn’t have been brought to life without the visionary leadership of Falcon/NakedSword President Tim Valenti and screenwriter Ben Rush,” Dimarco said.

Valenti returned Dimarco's praise.

"This is what happens when you have a crew like director Tony Dimarco, screenwriter Ben Rush and a cast of the industry’s top talent," he said. "So much time and care went into every aspect of ‘Ride Or Die’ and it feels great to see that hard work recognized on a platform like this."

The studio also won the award for Gay All-Sex Release of the Year for "Falcon Live: 4 the Fans."

The 2023 XBIZ Awards were announced January 15 at the Hollywood Palladium; click here for a full list of winners.
