SAN FRANCISCO - TitanMen will release Folsom Prison, fourth film in the co-branded TitanMen/Folsom line of hardcore leather-fetish films that have been designated the "Exclusive Leather/Fetish Films of the Folsom Street Fair," in both standard-definition and Blu-ray formats at the 30th Annual Mr. International Leather show, scheduled for May 22-26 in Chicago.
Folsom Prison will be released concurrently at the TitanMen website and via video on demand at NakedSword.
Directed by Brian Mills, the three-hours-plus film was shot and mastered and will be released in full 1080i HD widescreen format.
Mills took a cast of 14 masculine men and spun a vision of prison life reminiscent of the HBO series Oz with a hardcore-fetish twist. TitanMen exclusive Tony Buff leads the cast as the corrupt guard in charge. Diesel Washington stars as a wrongly imprisoned convict. TitanMen exclusive Rick van Sant is the corrupt attorney willing to trade freedom for a fist up his ass, and Alex Baresi is the prison mule smuggling contraband internally. Rounding out the cast are Damien Crosse, Chad Manning, Derek da Silva, Vinnie D'Angelo, Markus Ram, Trey Casteel, Matthew Ford, Dak Ramsey, Dominic Sol and newcomer Bjoern Giger.
"We are very proud that Folsom Prison is the first gay adult film released simultaneously on standard DVD and Blu-ray HD," Mills said. "Folsom Prison is one of the finest hardcore fetish films we've ever made, and [this] is the perfect genre for high definition. For the first time, fans of hardcore fetish will get to see all the action up close and personal. With Blu-ray HD, you can see every single drop of sweat, piss and cum glistening on the hard muscular bodies of the performers. You feel like you could almost lick it off the screen."
A portion of each sale goes to the TitanMen/Folsom Fund benefiting non-profit gay men's health organizations. Titan Media was able to contribute $25,000 to Folsom Street Events for 2007.
"TitanMen promotes fetish and leather play as safer and morally responsible alternatives to the growing trend of bareback within the gay adult entertainment industry," said Titan vice president Keith Webb. "By portraying and eroticizing safer sexual alternatives, TitanMen hopes to lead by example. While other studios promote and sell bareback films that portray and eroticize high-risk unprotected anal sex, TitanMen will hold firm in its steadfast commitment to the community by portraying and promoting condom-only and safer sex in its films."
