Series by Director Mark Wood Wins Another AVN Award

VENICE, Calif.—The votes have been counted, and Mark Wood’s Young Tight Latinas series is a winner once again. The director left the 2010 AVN Awards Show in Las Vegas with the trophy for Best Ethnic-Themed Release—Latin for volume 17 of the series.

Wood has been shooting the series since 2006 and won the same award last year. As was announced in the weeks prior to the show, he was also inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame during the show.

“Whether I’m directing or performing, I never think about awards,” Wood said after returning to Los Angeles. “Even when I get nominated I don’t think too much about it. In every category there is an enormous amount of competition and most people go home disappointed. It’s very gratifying and I thank AVN and the voters for recognizing the hard work we put into the series.”

Mark Wood’s previous awards include the 2007 XRCO Unsung Swordsman and several awards for releases under the LéWood imprint, which he and his wife, Francesca Lé, started several years ago. Since making his performing debut in 2000 he has worked in more than 2,000 scenes and has been nominated for Male Performer of the Year at next month’s XBIZ Awards.
