He is not only the most recognized personality in the industry, but he is also one of the only Directors that has managed to direct simultaneously for multiple major studios, such as Falcon, All Worlds, Vivid and Odyssey while keeping the integrity and best interest of each company in the forefront,” a statement from C1R said.
