Van Styles has announced that he is leaving Hustler Video after one year with the company.
“It has definitely been a strong year for me,” Styles said, “and I also got to see first-hand how a large corporation operates.”
The 25-year old director who shot Take It Black, Ass Appeal, Young Latin Ass and the acclaimed Barely Legal: Corrupted series for Hustler added, “As much as I appreciate Hustler's efforts to keep me at the company, I feel that it is the right time to seek new challenges.”
Hustler Video offered a statement on Styles' departure:
“We came to the end of the term for the contract we had with him and we tried to come to terms on an additional contract. I think he preferred not to be under contract with anyone at this time. We wish him well. We wish we could continue working with him, but it was a decision he made to move on. There are no bad feelings. We did extend an offer. We’re hopeful that as time moves on that he’ll be doing movies with us again in the future.”
Styles, a former professional skateboard instructor who got his start with Video Team in 2002, did not indicate his plans for future releases at press time.
