SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Prodigy Pictures, a new production studio owned by Brent Corrigan and Grant Roy, has completed filming its first movie, Brent Corrigan's Summit. The DVD, produced in cooperation with Dink Flamingo's Dirty Bird Pictures, is set for release at the end of February on both companies' websites and via Marina Pacific Distributors.
"Having the opportunity to work with Brent Corrigan on The Porne Ultimatum gave me the confidence to move forward with the Summit project," Flamingo said. "Both he and Grant Roy have a great eye for what Brent Corrigan fans want to see. They are perfectionists, and it shows in the finished product.
"Brent Corrigan's Summit was the very thing I had in mind when I started Dirty Bird Pictures," he continued. "I wanted to showcase the talents of young directors who wanted their shot at proving their worth to the industry but needed a small helping hand and the guidance to make it happen. Brent Corrigan's newly formed Prodigy Pictures will prove that he is among the best at his genre. This project, combined with the Barrett Long XXX Amateur Hour series coming in February, is really the heart of what Dirty Bird Pictures is all about. We want these young directors to have the opportunity to showcase their own talents beyond just being a pretty face or big dick in front of the camera."
Summit was written and directed by Corrigan, who also devised the concept: Take 10 models to a secluded cabin in the mountains near Lake Tahoe and shoot "reality style" in order to catch the interaction and excitement that overtakes a group of guys left alone to have fun. Several of Flamingo's straight, military-type Active Duty models joined Corrigan's hand-picked gay models to add interest and some possible tension on the set.
"Looking back, it's been nearly a three-year journey, fraught with seemingly insurmountable obstacles, setbacks and scandals," Corrigan said. "But the Summit is here. It's one of the sweetest victories of my life. More than anything else, for me Summit is about what will prevail in the future for Prodigy Pictures and Dink Flamingo's Dirty Bird Pictures. It's just one, long overdue step in the right direction: forward.
"Though Summit has proven to be a labor of love, I sincerely look forward to implementing my own ideas as a director and producer," he added. "We were lucky to work with some of the finest industry professionals on this project, including the still photographer Mick Hicks. I want to thank Mick, Grant Roy, Dink Flamingo, Steve Jerome, Austin Parker, Johnny Rocket and Mason Wyler for lifting me up as a director on my very first feature."
Roy added, "I am extremely honored that Dink Flamingo chose to take on the executive producer role for the debut production of Prodigy Pictures. The entire cast and crew were amazing, including Steve Jerome and Active Duty boys Reese, Damien and Adam. It has been a privilege to have participated in a project that we are certain will transcend into something truly unique that fans will enjoy."
Behind-the-scenes and "teaser" footage from the film - including the performers shooting pool, playing video games, swimming, snowmobiling, partying and satisfying primal urges - is available on both companies' websites.
