CHATSWORTH, Calif.—AVN Award nominated BDSM site Wasteland.com partners with fellow fetish producer Severe Sex to offer its content on DVD for the first time ever with new line Severe Sex Presents Wasteland, to be released through Severe Sex distributor Exile Distribution.
The first title due for release under the deal, Punishments Incorporated, is scheduled to street in May.
"We at Wasteland.com are absolutely thrilled with this collaboration with Severe Sex Films," commented Wasteland founder and CEO Colin Rowntree, a member of the Internet Branch of AVN's Hall of Fame. "It's a match made in kinky heaven in so many ways, most importantly that Wasteland and Severe Sex Films share the same fundamental vision and values in creating authentic BDSM movies.
"So much of what has been produced over the past seven years for the internet under the guiese of 'BDSM' is simply very rough porn star sex with bondage sets and gear thrown in for shock value," Rowntree continued. "I call this the 'Flog and Fuck School of Film Making,' which has very little to do with the realities of consensual D/s relationships and activities. Both Wasteland and Severe Sex Films work with lifestyle kinky players that know exactly what they are doing, and the result is far more compelling for viewers."
Offered Severe Sex co-owner Dee Severe, "When I was first coming out as a kinky person in the late '90s, Wasteland.com was one of the first sites I ever visited. It's such an honor to be able to work with them!"
"Both companies believe in the importance of presenting authentic BDSM," Severe's partner Jimmy Broadway added. "Nothing is faked, there are no special effects or make-up, we both showcase performers that practice BDSM off camera."
Rowntree further noted, "We're also very happy to hear that we in some way paved the road for Dee Severe into the kinky realm, and also the be under the superb distribution leadership of Exile."
For its part, Exile chief Howard Levine said, "As you know, the Severe Sex line has grown into one of our most successful lines. The addition of Wasteland content is a pivotal move for this very successful company. The content is top notch, the actors deliver 100 percent, and it is shot beautifully."
On debut title Punishments Incorporated, Severe remarked, "I love that this is a Maledom release, it serves as a good counterpoint for Severe Sex content, which tends to be Femdom. Together, we're giving our fan base the full spectrum of BDSM and fetish."
