When Metro Studios convinced Skeeter Kerkove to sign a non-exclusive deal to direct for them, they could have placed him alongside his wife Bridgette as a director for their extreme hardcore imprint Fusxion, but decided that the self-proclaimed “King of Sodom” needed his own imprint, BadAss Pictures.
Skeeter Kerkove decided to name his imprint Badass Pictures for a few reasons. “One is that it really is badass sex, that’s not exaggerating,” Kerkove said, indicating that in this case “bad” was a positive thing.

“Then it’s a fun thing, a joke because of the way I look [like a stereotypical ex-con],” Kerkove said.
Metro’s general manager Neil Persky says Skeeter Kerkove’s unique sensibility as a director, combined with his marketability, are the reason for placing Kerkove under a brand name of his own.
“As opposed to Fusxion, which was designed for multiple directors, BadAss Pictures is starting up to highlight the work of Skeeter,” Persky told AVN.com
“His outlook and content are so unique that we wanted to give him his own imprint,” Persky explained.
For Skeeter Kerkove, working under the Metro umbrella is coming full circle –Kerkove’s directorial debut, Anal Excursions, was shot for Metro in 2002. “Metro has always treated me awesome, always,” Kerkove said.
Adding another depth to Kerkove’s history with Metro, Bridgette Kerkove performed in her first scene ever for a 1999 Metro title, Airtight Five.
Kerkove intends to bring his signature style to BadAss Pictures: fetish wear and extremely hardcore sex with anal, d.p.’s, and double anals as the standard.
Stick It, the first title under the Badass Pictures banner was released earlier this week, and features Bridgette Kerkove, Jamie Brooks, Lyla Lei, Sabre and Melanie. Badass Pictures next release will be Marked for Anal.
Badass Pictures will release a new title approximately every three weeks.
