Severe Society Films Honored With Four AVN Award Nominations

REDONDO BEACH, Calif.—You wouldn’t know that the economy was down by looking at Severe Society Films, as they continue to increase both the quality and quantity of fetish product they are turning out, as indicated by the four 2011 AVN Award nominations they've received, up from one for the 2010 Awards.

In addition to a repeat nomination in the category of Best BDSM Release for their feature Cage of Tears, they received nods for Best FemDom Strap-on Release for Strapped, Best Specialty Release – Other Genre for The Housewives’ Revenge 3 and Best Educational Release for Kink School: A Guide to Electrical Play.

“I’m especially proud of the nom for the first disk in our new Kink School line,” said SSF co-owner, performer and director Jimmy Broadway. “We’re up against some serious players in the industry- Adam & Eve, Penthouse, Vivid. The fact that AVN considers our work to be on that level is quite an honor. I’m also very pleased to see that they are willing to recognize a topic beyond straight vanilla sex, the fetish of electrical play. There’s a whole wide world of fetishes out there for people to explore, and that we can introduce these things to the curious and show them how to experience them in a safe, sane and consensual manner is a good thing.”

A Guide to Electrical Play explains the risks and shows viewers how to safely put a charge in their sex lives with the introduction of various electrical devices.

"I'm really happy our first installment of Kink School has been so well-received," added SSF co-owner Mistress D Severe. "We're planning to do a long series of these, covering all facets and levels of BDSM play."

Cage of Tears is a “day in the life” of professional Dominants Mistress Simone Kross and Sir Nik (who also directed the feature) and Sir Nik’s personal submissive, Miss Caddy Compson. Inspired by the unique and diabolical cage itself, a one-of-a-kind creation from bondage furniture company Sex & Metal, it features classic BDSM positions, expert whip work, sensual girl-on-girl strap-on play, bondage and a bonus look at erotic needle play, all shot amidst the rich textures of Mistrss Kross’ personal dungeon studio in Los Angeles

Strapped is a compilation of eight female-on-male strap-on scenes featuring some of the most talented ladies currently working in the Los Angeles BDSM scene, Mistress D Severe (who also directed many of the scenes and edited all of them), Goddess Soma Snakeoil, Miss Olive, Lady Jazzmine and Princess Sheila, along with Australia’s Mistress Jadis. Comments Broadway (who appeared in last year’s AVN Award-winning Forced Fem 3 with Tara Lynn Foxx for Kick Ass Pictures and who is on the receiving end in four of the scenes on this disk), “Where last year’s winner in the strap on category had a light and playful tone, these scenes have a bit of an edge, showing more of the raw sexual power of the dominant female.”

The third installment in SSF’s highly successful girl-on-girl spanking series. featuring domestic discipline with a retro vibe, The Housewives’ Revenge 3 has Mistress D Severe (who also co-directed) and Mistress Simone Kross doling out punishment to two more neighborhood ladies who have done them wrong. Submissive Bunny (who also appears in SSF's Hike to Hell and 2010 Best BDSM Release nominee Sorority Hazing Horror) portrays a babysitter who gets caught drinking, having sex with her boyfriend watching pay-per-view porn, while Charlotte Kelly is a snotty mom who lets her children bully the neighborhood kids. Both women are shown the error of their ways under the strong hands of our two Mistresses.

"The Housewives' Revenge series is so much fun," notes Mistress D. "Usually, BDSM is really serious and heavy, so it's a great change of pace to do something that's humorous—but still involves paddling the hell out of your sub!"

The 2011 AVN Awards show will return to the Pearl Theater at the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on Jan. 8. For more on Severe Society Films, go to severesocietyfilms.com.
