Paladin to Release Men of Odyssey’s First Feature

Gay DVD distributor Paladin has agreed to distribute the first film from the newly reopened Men of Odyssey, Jim Steel's Beach House Diaries.

"There was never a doubt who I wanted for this production," said Bob East of Odyssey. "From the day we first talked about starting up, I said we need a top-notch distributor that specializes in gay material behind this line. Paladin was the immediate choice based on our previous track record with them. They do one thing and do it well—distribute movies. They aren't a straight company with a gay department or a studio that produces its own product but distributes for other gay producers."

Paladin was the exclusive distributor for Men of Odyssey until the production company closed its doors in 2003.

Beach House Diaries stars Brad Benton, Christian Owen, Tory Mason, Jesse Santana, Barrett Long, Luca Alexander, Cole Ryan, John Wright and bodybuilder Romario and is set to hit stores July 24.
