LOS ANGELES—In a strategic move that represents a unique transition for both companies, Alternadudes.com has formed a marketing and management relationship with Homegrown Video. For the first time ever, Homegrown Video will now also have a gay offering; in addition, Alternadudes.com will have the ability to grow with the marketing and site management assets and skills offered by Homegrown.
Alternadudes.com, a site that sets a high standard for high-quality unique amateur gay content, specializes in pierced and painted long-haired "Alternadudes," and has a knack for getting gay and/or bi-curious first-timers to video their initiations to homosexual lovemaking.
The site has received numerous positive reviews. RatedMale.com said, "Alternadudes is impressive…quite the fascinating and horny site of alternative gay pop culture." Mr Pinks agreed, saying, "Alternadudes could be your favorite site in the history of the Internet; your very own gay-as-gay-can-be Suicide Boys." The majority of review sites have given Alternadudes.com a 9 or 10 out of 10 rating.
For Homegrown Video, venturing into the gay side of the industry has been a long time coming. "Homegrown has had opportunities to feature gay product in the past, like the US Marine masturbation videos from San Diego, but things always fell through, because at the end of the day, we were simply regarded as being too hetero," admitted Farrell Timlake, president of Homegrown.
Koloff of Alternadudes shares common ground with Timlake; in addition to being the founder and owner of Alternadudes, he is also known to perform in some of the videos. "It's what I really like about Homegrown," said Koloff. "They're not just another company trying to shove crappy porn onto the public. They actually, sincerely, embrace the lifestyle to put a positive spin on adult sexuality, free of judgment and prejudice."
In addition to providing internet content, Alternadudes releases DVD's through PornTeam. Retailers, e-tailers, and distributors may contact Chris Kren at [email protected] or call (707) 664-9398 to place an order.
Homegrown CEO Spike Goldberg added, "Getting into the amateur gay market makes good business sense. We're looking forward to our foray into the gay market with a site such as Alternadudes, a company that already has a strong following within its niche. We know our affiliates will be as thrilled as we are with these new offerings."
Alternadudes.com is ready to market inside the Homegrown Cash affiliate program. All inquiries are welcome.
In addition to its website partnerships, Homegrown Video releases its movies on DVD through Pulse Distribution. Retailers, e-tailers, and distributors may contact Pulse's Robert Plarski at [email protected] or (818) 435-1605 to place an order.
