LOS ANGELES—The team behind LittleCaprice-Dreams.com enjoyed a banner night at the 2026 AVN Awards.
By the time the 43rd annual event was over on Jan. 24, Marcello Bravo and Little Caprice had combined to win four trophies, including Best International Boy/Girl Sex Scene, Best International Group Sex Scene, Best Gonzo/Cinemacore Movie or Series and International Male Performer of the Year for Bravo.
The latter was a remarkable first-time triumph for Bravo, who co-owns LittleCaprice-Dreams.com with his wife Little Caprice, the three-time International Female Performer of the Year.
“It means a lot to me—the first award to win in a category is always the best—and to get that honor and to be on the list of the best international performers will stay forever, even when I’m dead,” Bravo tells AVN. “I will be the guy from Austria who made it! It’s totally crazy cool.
“Just the list of guys in my category alone was insane. Congrats to all of them by the way. We all try our best and this time I’m the winner; maybe next time another guy. That’s a part of the game, just one can win…”
“I’m incredibly happy for him,” Little Caprice tells AVN. “It was his dream to get this award for a long time and he worked so hard to achieve it. So he has my full support and I feel as happy as if it was me that won. He really deserves it.”
The versatile couple was unable to attend the ceremony in person but found out about their awards on Sunday, Jan. 25 while at their home in the Czech Republic. Bravo delivered the best all-around year of his career en route to winning the 2026 performing crown. The former dancer, acrobat and soccer player—who now is in his 16th year in adult entertainment—claimed the most prestigious honor for a male performer working outside the U.S.
“When I looked at the AVN website in the early morning after the show and saw my name at the page, I did not really believe it,” says Marcello, who was nominated with the top male talent in the world. “After some seconds I looked in the mirror and just scream for happiness.
“You need to know that in 2025 I ask myself, what can I do to win a male performer or a director award? My strategy behind it was I need to produce bigger movies, present myself more than in the past and keep good fucking. I wrote the script for Mr. Nice—this movie is a masterpiece and I play the main role. And also the WeCumtoYou: Love & Lust blockbuster was a great one.
“I’m thinking these two big movies were the big case for the premium award. They saw me act, direct, produce and fuck in a movie with a story that before did not exist… And of course I shoot a lot of good scenes—DP, anal, boy/girl, threesome and VR—with good-named girls like Little Caprice, Alexis Crystal, Eve Sweet, Eva Generosi, Ambar Lapiedra and Britney Dutch.”
Marcello tells AVN that going into this year’s show that he and Little Caprice received 14 total nominations, giving them reason for optimism.
“That was a good sign but last year I had also 11 nominations and won zero,” he says. “But that’s a part of the game as I mentioned. You need to learn from losing to get better! Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose! It means you keep going, focus and never give up!”
Bravo wears many hats for LittleCaprice-Dreams.com—he produces, writes, edits, lights, takes stills and directs most of the scenes. Because of those responsibilities, he admits it’s a challenge to also carve out time for performing for any studio other than his own.
“For me it is difficult to shoot often for other productions because I have my own one and I’m super busy,” he continues. “From time to time I have a bit space to work for other productions, what I also like very much. It’s a kind of holiday for me. I go there and just act and fuck!
“In our production I do actually everything. … It’s not easy, but I can create what I want. It’s my ideas, my fantasies and the important point is I love to edit the final product and do the color grading, sound effects and search for the perfect emotional music for the movie.”
He adds, “I love to produce movies with a story behind them—dramas, thrillers like Mr. Nice for example. And believe me, more great stuff will come soon. I don’t like to copy. I like to bring unique stuff.”
Bravo also captured Best International Boy/Girl Sex Scene with Little Caprice for their coupling in the Mr. Nice episode titled “The Boss.”
“This one is one of my favorite of all time,” Little Caprice says. “We are not shooting much together anymore as I’m stepping away from the professional shoots and shooting just for my OnlyFans currently. So if I got the chance to shoot with him it’s just so hot! And the script was written just perfect for myself. I can’t wait to shoot the second part to let people see what happens with Mr. Nice and his Boss.”
“Each award we won is just amazing and a dream,” Bravo adds. “We are still a two-person, low-budget company with one camera guy and one marketing girl and one dev guy. But everything is possible!
“This category is a hard one. I don’t need to speak about who was there—all the other channels… But Caprice and me are the perfect match and the story behind Mr. Nice was great. We shot it in cinematic style and with a lot of perversity and good, powerful sex. It was everything an award-winning scene must have and to win an award with my wife is always the best.”
Bravo and Caprice joined forces with two-time, reigning AVN International Female Performer of the Year, Eve Sweet, and Matthew Meier to win the Best International Group Sex Scene for WeCumToYou: Love & Lust Episode 3.
“The whole script was very emotional, and of course the chemistry,” Caprice explains. “Eve is such a sweetheart and with Matthew I had a instant connection. As I already said many times, we are choosing very carefully our partners for such scenes. It was truly genuine sex.
“Also the other scenes from these projects, especially the one with me and Matthew when I did my first creampie besides with Marcello, which is very intimate for me. I just loved the shoot!”
Bravo adds, “For this scene I thought we have the most chance to win. I mean Little Caprice, Eve Sweet, Matthew Meier and Marcello in one movie.
“We had so much fun. We fuck crazy, the girls scream and squirt. In the end we cum on Caprice’s boobs and Eve lick it down and they kiss… I’m super happy for this award and proud of the talents who gave everything for this scene and movie.
“Thanks Caprice, Eve and Matthew for acting and fucking so good in the whole movie.”
Meanwhile, their gritty SuperprivateX series received the Best Gonzo/Cinemacore Movie or Series award.
“This is the best achievement for us!” Caprice says. “Being recognized not only for single scenes but also for series is just great. It means that we are still growing and people see it and like it which is very important.”
“What the hell, this was the most unexpected award we ever made,” Bravo says. “I mean, yes, that series is very cool. It’s the opposite side from our high-end series like Xpervo, NasstyX, WeCumtoYou, Caprice Divas and Buttmuse.
“SuperPrivatex is gonzo style, fucking hard and wild, porn stars having private sex combined with some easy stories but focused to let the girls really scream and squirt.
“And we let the camera fly and take the best moments without breaks. I’m really happy that this strategy works as well. Of course all of us like to produce the biggest movies in the world but sometimes people forget the point of porn! Just having good sex and nothing else.”
The couple now has won 16 AVN Awards combined since launching their studio brand in 2016. In their most significant year of productions yet in 2025, not only did they shoot their first two major features, they also ramped up the quality of LittleCapriceVR.com, taking special care of the casting and shooting in 8K at exclusive locations.
“We shoot also now passthrough Virtual Reality in the green box which means the user can remove the background via the Google Glasses and can have our models in their own living room or bedroom,” Bravo says. “It deepens where they stream and their own background looks like LittleCapriceVR.com."
In addition, they focused on improving their traffic, expanding their affiliate relationships and being proactive with their tube-site presence.
“And yes we are still searching for new potential partners," Bravo adds.
He indicated they’ve already finished the script for the second installment of Mr. Nice, while another big movie is in development.
“It’s also kind of a thriller, a little dark and mystical,” Marcello reveals. “I like that kind of style. The base of the movie is written. I just need just need to go more in detail with location, cast and the shooting timetable.
“Also we are building a second house that we can use as a shooting location. That one should be ready in March 2026.”
He tells AVN that LittleCaprice-Dreams offers two different membership tiers now.
“The regular membership for all 2D (4K, Full HD) videos, or the user can go for a Gold membership which includes the regular 2D videos, plus virtual reality, plus a bonus selection,” Marcello says.
Caprice calls their progress as a studio nothing short of "huge."
“When we started I wouldn’t ever believe we will ever get this far as production," she says. "I still need to pinch myself sometimes.
“Marcello is doing such a great job by still having the best new ideas for movies and scenes, and he is also learning so much new stuff about filming and editing… I’m sure we will make some more successful projects very soon!”
