ADAM & EVE SECURES LICENSING DEALS

Adam & Eve Productions has nailed down formal licensing agreements for five of its key adult video lines.

Cable Entertainment Distribution, Inc. will license the Femme titles Adam & Eve produces jointly with Candida Royalle. CED maintains the reputed largest monthly program supply output agreement with Playboy Television, opening up a crucial large pipeline for Adam & Eve, says Adam & Eve wholesale director Jeffrey M. Krull.

Such Adam & Eve titles as Carnal Witness and The Quick & The Hard (both directed by Bud Lee) have already been licensed to Playboy Networks for exclusive worldwide satellite premieres, Krull says, with Wildflower set as the next CED-represented Adam & Eve production going to Playboy.

Pleasures Licensing, LLC will hold exclusive Adam & Eve rights overseas, Krull continues, including Adam & Eve Productions, Nina Hartley How-to, and Femme productions. Intrigue Entertainment will stay as Adam & Eve's domestic representative for the Ultimate Pictures line. Extreme Entertainment will hold the overseas rights as before for the Ultimate line, while Antares Worldwide is retained to represent the Adam & Eve Director series overseas, Krull says.
