In 3 weeks, it will be a full year since Horndawg Productions, Inc. was conceived. It grew from a tiny germ of a seed when I bought a cheapo, handheld camcorder at Target.
Many things have happened since then and many people have assisted me in getting to where we are today.
Chase, who I met on Daddy Hunt. He introduced me to David from Hometown Guys. He has also performed for David and can be seen in Hookups #8.
David from Hometown Guys, for whom I was more than willing to fuck on camera. I'm glad we've become friends along the way and that he disclosed he was also co-owner of AMVC, the company that would eventually become our distributor. Very convenient!
Then there is Brian Brennan, an old friend from when I lived in New York. I was reacquainted with him while up in the city helping take care of my mom. He runs the One, the Only, Original Latino Fan Club.
The models I met and worked with as well as the models I did NOT meet but still learned from; like the no-show.
Supportive co-workers and friends; both in person and over the internet. They never tired or flagged when asked for advice and willingly gave of their time, knowledge and experience to the new kid on the block who thought he would have a go at some home-made porn.
Then there were the legalities I had to learn. The tedium of editing and the boredom of watching the same footaqe over and over and over again.
The contracts. The ordeal of incorporating. Setting up a business checking account.
And now, here we are!
Our first release, "Stray Dawgz" is finally available exclusively through AMVC! The DVD was released yesterday, Friday, November 7, 2008. Pick up your copy today by clicking here!
I have to admit that I'm very proud of what we've accomplished. Sure, it's just porn. Big deal, right? But it is to me. I'm happy with the way the DVD turned out; from the models, the overall look, to the comments friends have begun to share with me.
I hope you like "Stray Dawgz" and that you have as much fun watching as we had filming. We have many more projects planned and look forward to any comments you may have about "Stray Dawgz" or suggestions on adding to our line-up.
As always, thanks for reading and be sure and remember: pick up your copy of Stray Dawgz today!

HI Johnny...Well, I am glad to have been a part of your descent into porn :-) and I'll keep my fingers crossed that Horndawgz and this first DVD find a customer base.
By next friday your film will be sent out to AEBN, HotMovies, AdultRental, and XonDemand to be streamed. It will take 6 to 8 weeks for them to process the film and get it live on their systems.
AEBN is the "big player" in the streaming market and it is not unusual (especially in the days if declining DVD sales across all markets) to have your streaming revenue exceed your DVD sales revenue.
The worst thing you can do at this point is stop and "see how this film sells" before deciding to do more films. Time and time again I see producers do this and when their one and only film falls off the charts and off the radar they decide porn is not for them. Producers who release new titles as often as possible always out perform the "one hit wonders". So, my immediate advice is to continue filming.
You are no stranger to being in front of the camera...and every time you ARE in front of the camera you save on model fees because you're not paying yourself.
Anyway, AMVC is pleased to be carrying Stray Dawgz and we hope to be carrying a lot more of your films in the future. :-)

David:
We, also, are looking forward to more films in the future. In fact, at our celebratory dinner last Friday, and this morning at brunch, we decided we want to have at least 3 releases for 2009. We would love to do more, but, with work and budget constraints, it could be challenging.
But don't worry. We won't rest on our laurels. It's just that between now and about mid December, we have a lot of family obligations, gathering of friends, etc.
And if the opportunity to film comes up between now and then, believe me, I'm jumping on it! There's one cute blond with luscious lips I've been trying to work on. I'd love to have him. In more ways than one; we'll see!

Congratulations, Ben, on your very first video release! It's pretty crazy seeing your very own DVD advertised on AMVC's home-page, isn't it?!? There's never a thrill quite like that "first time" ;).
I totally agree with David's advice. I was tempted to give up after less-than-stellar sales for my first DVD (like "Stray Dawgz," it was a solos-only flick, which by the way rarely sell as well as hardcore action films), but I'm so glad I stuck with it. With one or two exceptions, each of my DVD's has sold better than the last. It takes awhile to get your work out there and develop a fan base. I've been doing this for a year now, and I feel like I'm still just getting started!
I wish you the best of luck! I think that black guy looks like the hottest of the bunch by far...but I guess that doesn't come as a big surprise, LOL! I'd sure love to see you talk HIM into going "gay for pay"! Unlikely, I know, but a guy can always dream ;)....
