Debunking Internet rumors that he was going to Wicked Pictures to direct for the company, Vince Vouyer, along with Wicked president Steve Orenstein, announced today that they have formed a brand new company, Vouyer Media, designed to produce superior gonzo features shot in high definition.
“I was toying with going into the gonzo market for some time,” Orenstein told AVN.com. “I read that Vince had left Red Light and they wished him well. We happened to be at the same place at the same time and struck up a conversation.”
The company has been formed as an equal partnership, with Vouyer handling all of the productions and Orenstein overseeing the day-to-day sales, billing, marketing, etc. Industry veteran Tony Cleary will handle sales for the new company and Bonnie Kail will handle domestic sales for Wicked.
“I was just leaving my last gig, with no intentions of partnering up,” Vouyer said. “After e-mails from about 10 companies, I took an ad in the January AVN just to say I was moving. I didn’t know where.
“I wasn’t looking for a distribution deal like I had at Red Light,” he continued. “So Steve and I had been looking for the same thing and the timing was perfect.”
“I have some of the best directors in the business doing what I do, features,” Orenstein said. “But here’s a guy who has been doing gonzo very successfully for a long time. And when we talked, we said the same things. We believe in quality and integrity and there should be nothing that’s degrading to women. So we share those same values.”
The first release, a Vouyer-directed title called The Gauntlet, takes its female leads through a surprise voyage where they’re involved in a gauntlet of sexual situations as they move from room to room, not knowing what’s behind each door. The sexual situations include group sex, cream pies, d.p., girl/girl sex, cum swallowing, etc. The high-definition, DVD only release stars the beautiful Maya, Mollie, Jenni Morrison, Ivanna and Chelsea and streets on February 13.
“It’s about the women, not about the guys,” Vouyer said, emphasizing the company’s protocol. “Sometimes we even chop the guy’s head off.”
While Vouyer won’t be directing every release (others such as Tim Von Swine will be shooting for the company), he will oversee and produce every release. The packaging will include the O-card that some companies are using now and will be embossed.
“I’m very excited because I’ve known Vince for about 10 years, but we never really talked business,” Orenstein emphasized. “And when I met with him and realized we were looking for the same things, everything fell into place.”
The second title from Vouyer Media, Make Me Creamy, directed by Vouyer, is a multiple cream-pie release where Renee Richards performs her first such scene. That hits the market on Feb. 27.
