LOS ANGELES—Next Door Studios has announced several new "content initiatives" as part of its effort to continue offering new updates on its membership platform during the industry shutdown surrounding the global COVID crisis.
Last week saw the release of the very first Next Door Homemade scene featuring exclusive Dakota Payne in a self-produced solo video. Next Door Homemade is a new series that puts the camera in the hands of performers to film either solo or hardcore updates if they are self-isolating with a partner.
Next Door Studios believes it is its social responsibility to support models and community members during this time of need and is committed to developing further solutions and implementing new initiatives.
“While we have a backlog of scenes that had been filmed prior to the shutdown, we made the decision to slow down the release schedule to continue offering new studio-shot scenes over an extended period,” explained Next Door Studios Director Walden Woods. “To supplement updates, we are working directly with performers to produce self-shot amateur videos that will be released under the Next Door Homemade umbrella.”
Next Door Studios has also partnered with other industry leading brands to offer curated selections of scenes from other sites in its members area. This initiative allows for increased updates and gives members exposure to new content from various gay brands at no extra cost.
With more content than ever, Next Door Studios will be increasing its update frequency to six updates a week. This will also include specially created compilation videos inspired by member requests. These compilations will act as highlight reels for specific models or themes and will include links to the full scenes captured in the video so members can easily refer to them.
“It’s extremely important to us during this time that we offer as much innovative content as possible to our members," Woods added. "It’s been really exciting to work on these new content initiatives with our creative team, performers and other industry partners to adapt to the new reality.”
Taking care of its members and exclusive models by maintaining visibility and community engagement is of the utmost priority for Next Door Studios. Connecting virtually is now more important than ever.
