LFP Video Group has signed a distribution deal with starlet/director Nina Mercedez’s company, Heartbreaker Films.
Under the agreement, Heartbreaker Films will produce 12 titles for LFP, all of them directed by Mercedez or Raymond Balboa, president of Heartbreaker Films. Additionally, six of the 12 titles will star Mercedez.
The one-year DVD distribution deal gives exclusive worldwide distribution rights to LFP, including Hustler TV broadcast rights. LFP and Heartbreaker Films hope to release their first title in early 2007.
Mercedez, a former Vivid girl, has a long history with Larry Flynt Publications. “The first photo of me ever published was in Hustler’s Beaver Hunt Magazine,” said Mercedez. “I feel like Hustler, from the very start, has believed in and stood behind me, and it feels right to come full-circle.”
Mercedez and Balboa said that their move to LFP was an easy choice for both of them. “There was never any doubt,” said Balboa. “Hustler was the only phone call I made. Nina and I talked about her next step, and Hustler was the obvious choice for both of us.”
“I knew I could trust Hustler’s reputation,” added Mercedez. “There was never another option.”
Jeff Hawkins, senior VP of LFP Video Group, said that he is extremely excited about working with Mercedez and Balboa. “Nina’s history with Hustler makes this a great fit,” Hawkins said.
“LFP Video is looking for passionate and creative distribution partners, and Nina and Raymond fulfill our criteria. We look forward to working with them for years to come.”
