LOS ANGELES—New Sensations/Digital Sin has received a combined seven nominations for the 2017 XRCO Awards. Works honored this year include the third chapter in New Sensations' acclaimed Emma Marx franchise, The Submission of Emma Marx: Exposed, and Digital Sin's new all-girl glamour imprint The Lesbian Experience and Tabu Tales: Me, My Brother, and Another.
The Submission of Emma Marx: Exposed continued to explore one of adult cinema's most complicated love stories—a contractual BDSM romance between unlikely soulmates Emma Marx and her Dom, William Frederick. The film received a nomination for Best Release and earned additional honors for director Jacky St. James and acting leads Penny Pax and Richie Calhoun.
Digital Sin's The Lesbian Experience, an artistically produced line of lesbian erotica, exploring a variety of adult themes, scored a nomination for Best Girl/Girl Series. The Lesbian Experience debuted in May of last year and has featured works by Best Director (Non-Features) nominee Eddie Powell, Paul Woodcrest, and St. James, whose Tabu Tales: Me, My Brother, and Another landed a nomination in the category for All In the Family Themed Movie.
"It's a wonderful honor to have our projects and filmmakers nominated by the XRCO," New Sensations/Digital Sin President Scott Taylor said. "To have their support and acknowledgement is greatly appreciated and serves as encouragement heading into our future endeavors."
Jacky St. James said, "The XRCO has consistently supported my work in adult and it is always a high compliment to receive their recognition. I can't wait for the show!"
