SOUTH PARIS, Maine—All Boys Distribution, a distributor of gay adult DVDs, plans to add at least five new studios to its client list by the end of the year. To that end, the distributor actively seeks studios that have no current brick-and-mortar channel or are dissatisfied with their current distribution relationship.
According to company founder and President Rob Ragan, the search was precipitated by a perceived uptick in the economy.
“Over the last few weeks we’ve seeing things getting back to normal with both sales and payables, which is good,” he said. “August, believe it or not, was our best month this year. I feel confident that with summer getting over and business getting back to normal, it’s time to start signing studios again, thus we have been reviewing potential studios now for about two weeks.”
All Boys stopped adding studios earlier this year because the economic downturn seemed to make impossible any attempt to force more product into a saturated market, he added. Frankly, August’s sales figures came as something of a pleasant surprise.
“It’s been weird, but we [experienced] almost double in gross sales [during August] what we did during May, June and the first three weeks in July,” Vice President Craig Rivas said. “All of a sudden, it was like a dam broke, and we were flooded with orders. We don’t have enough new titles in the can to fill them; hence, we need to start adding studios again.”
The All Boys roster currently includes European studios like OTB Video. OTB’s newest title, Crossed Paths, is expected to hit the streets Sept. 17.
“Once again OTB has gone way, way above and beyond what any other Euro bareback studio has even attempted to do by combining serious drama with that hardcore bareback, cum-crazy content that European porn is so well known for,” Ragan said.
Studios interested in exploring a relationship with All Boys may contact Ragan via email or call (877) 5-ALLBOY. The distributor’s home on the web is AllBoysDist.com.
