Doghouse Digital, the production division of Mile High Media, has added three new directors to their roster. The new non-exclusive additions to the Doghouse directorial line-up are multiple AVN Award-winning director/performer Rod Fontana, Bobby Manila, and Canadian director Rod Vicious.
In a recent trip to Los Angeles, Doghouse Digital general manager Jon B met with several potential directors that had contacted him after the announcement two months ago that Doghouse was seeking new directors had been posted on AVN.com. Jon B whittled down the talent pool to a handful of directors, including the three announced tonight, each selected on their own merits.
Jon B, a long time admire of Fontana’s videos, was pleased to have the opportunity to work with the veteran director/performer whom he predicts will one day be in the AVN Hall of Fame. “I’ve been a fan of his stuff since the day I got into this industry and now to be able to work with Rod, it’s a real honor. He is truly one of the great perverted minds of this industry,” he said.
“And I’ll tell you this about Fontana. He said it would be done by Wednesday and it was done by Wednesday. That’s the first time that’s happened for me, ever,” Jon B added.
Fontana’s series for Doghouse, as yet untitled, will be a foot fetish series. The first volume of the series will be released in August.
The second new director is up-and-comer Bobby Manilla, whose first series for Doghouse, slated for release in September is an as yet untitled interracial series focusing on black men and blonde white girls.
Jon B knew that Manilla was what he was looking for almost immediately after starting his demo tape. “About five minutes into watching one of Bobby’s movies, we knew he understood what shooting sex was all about. I think I was on the phone with him before the first scene even ended,” he said.
The third director is Canadian Rod Vicious, who has been known more for his fetish artcore style. Vicious has just completed his first project for Doghouse called Sorority Secrets – Lesbian Initiations, which will be out in August.
Jon B describes Sorority Secrets – Lesbian Initiations as a “gonzo with a story”. The video follows six girls who are trying to get into a sorority. "We have that framework of the sorority woven into the video. The final scene is where three girls already in the sorority initiate the six pledges – and the initiation ceremony turns into an orgy,” he said.
