LOS ANGELES — Vixen Media Group (VMG) has signed multi-XBIZ-award-winner Maitland Ward to a two-year contract extension.
Ward has starred in some of the studio's biggest releases, including "Mistress Maitland," "Drive," "Drift," and the "Muse" series.
"I’m so excited to continue as the longest-running contract star for Vixen Media Group and as the face of Deeper," said Ward. "I'm beyond thrilled I get to star in more monumental, groundbreaking projects working alongside Kayden Kross across all the innovative studios. Kayden and I make a team like no other. Vixen Media Group has been my home since day one. Everyone from ownership, marketing and all the amazing crews at VMG have treated me with class and honor since I first stepped on to their set. I look forward to continuing our tremendously successful relationship not only acting in large-scale, creative projects but also directing and writing more provocative and innovative pieces as well."
Beyond performing and directing, Ward has achieved massive success outside of the adult industry. Her first book, "Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me From Hollywood," a tell-all memoir about her life and career in mainstream Hollywood and in adult, garnered rave reviews and appeared on several bestseller list.
VMG director Kayden Kross enthused about the extension.
"Maitland has become synonymous with Deeper," she said. "She’s both the face of the brand and the inspiration for its direction, and the story of how we came to work together only a few months after Deeper launched is serendipitous. It’s like a made for TV movie. I’ve never had a creative partner before, but it’s true that when Maitland and I sit down and start working our respective ends of a project there is some magical thing that comes out of it. The sum is always greater than its parts."
Kross went on to tout her personal relationship with Ward and what it's meant for both her and Vixen.
"From the day Maitland came to Deeper, I told her that we will be with her for as long as she’s in this industry, and that remains the case," Kross continued. "What we have is more than an agreement between a contract star and a studio, and I am so thankful for the friendship, inspiration, drive, and challenge she presents me with every day. I look forward to where this partnership pushes us next."
