AMKingdom to Release 'Saving Humanity' on September 30

TEMPE, Arizona—Back in May 2013, word came from AMKingdom.com that shooting had wrapped on Saving Humanity, its highly ambitious X-rated sci-fi feature about a dystopian future. The week, the word is out: the movie now has a release date: It's coming out September 30, just squeaking into eligibiity for this year's AVN Awards.

The release marks a major milestone for AMKingdom—its biggest production since Revenge of the Petites, which debuted with a splashy premiere at a mainstream theater in Westwood and won a hefty serving of critical acclaim and industry awards.

Saving Humanity was written and directed by Kim Nielsen, AMKingdom's owner. The cast and crew of Saving Humanity includes several people who participated in the making of Revenge of the Petites, including cinematographer Jinish Shah and performers James Deen, Riley Reid, Skin Diamond, Celeste Star, Seth Dickens and Sativa Verte.

AMKingdom's second feature-length movie, Saving Humanity was in production for 13 days around the clock. In addition to the aforementioned performers, the cast also includes Tara Lynn Foxx, Sinn Sage, Anthony Rosano, Andy San Dimas, Cindy Starfall, Ana Foxxx, Beryl Aspen, Alex Chance and Ela Darling.

"I am pleased to announce the release of Saving Humanity, which has been a two-year endeavor for us,” said writer-director Nielsen. “The movie takes adult filmmaking to a new level in terms of production values and continues our effort at AMKingdom to push the boundaries between adult and mainstream markets."

Indeed, the project sounds like it should have a lot of crossover appeal. "The message behind the movie, that we are perhaps endangering the world in which we live and losing some of the core values that make us human, will resonate well with a broad audience," Nielsen said. "I am so proud of the work done by our whole production team and I think the cast did an amazing job in terms of raising the bar for acting in adult features and I look forward to Saving Humanity taking a significant place in the history of adult films in years to come."

In addition to Nielsen and director of photography Shah (who won industry acclaim for Revenge of the Petites), Mark Nicholas serves as the editor, rounding out the production team.

Saving Humanity was shot using the ARRI Alexa—one of the most popular cameras in cinema today—and AMKingdom believes it is the first adult feature shot using this camera.

The movie also includes extensive choreographed fight scenes and a large dance number set to an original song performed by Andy San Dimas and composed by Nicholas with lyrics by Nielsen. In addition, Saving Humanity features a wealth of special effects created by Digital Dave of XXX Effects.

Saving Humanity will be distributed by Kick Ass Pictures. For wholesale inquiries, contact [email protected].
