Racal Video Celebrates 10 Years of Action
Los Angeles, CA – Channel 1 Releasing is pleased to announce the 10th Anniversary of Rascal Video. Celebrating a decade under the company’s belt, Rascal Video has proven it’s a powerhouse studio to be reckoned with. In addition, the Rascal brand has helped catapult C1R into one of the largest and most well known gay adult companies in the world.
Founded by legendary director Chi Chi LaRue along with Rob Novinger and Steven Walker, Rascal Video was created after Doug Jeffries arranged a meeting of the partners-to-be in Las Vegas at the Adult Entertainment Expo. Moments after meeting, LaRue, Novinger and Walker instantly agreed they needed to go into business together and formed Rascal Video; shortly thereafter Rascal released its first video STEELE RANGER in 1999.
Since its maiden release, Rascal has continued to produce high quality and diverse films in nearly every genre, from leather to twink to interracial and beyond. Keeping the films diverse, are the contrasting models from around the world. From the studio’s first exclusive Kyle Kennedy to Brandon Lee, Cole Ryder and Eddie Diaz, Rascal Exclusives have been as varied as the films they star in. Rascal has also polished young potential models into superstars; Rascal Exclusive Johnny Hazzard has arguably become one of the most recognized names and faces in gay porn, along with creating a name for himself in the mainstream world of fashion and music.
“We’ve done some really groundbreaking stuff,” said exclusive Rascal Director Chi Chi LaRue, “Once, we rented a bus and shot scenes driving all the way from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. That was crazy, but it was a lot of fun. We’ve also shot movies around the globe, in some exotic locations like Spain, Italy, Costa Rica and even Germany. Geeze, so much has happened in the past ten years, I can’t wait to see what the next ten bring!”
Rascal quickly became associated with producing big budget and award winning titles. Chi Chi LaRue’s BOLT swept both the GAYVN and Grabby Awards Best All Sex Video Award, and WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS took home the Best Picture Award from both ceremonies. Titles such as DETENTION and ORAL EXAMS have also won respective scene awards such as Best Group Scene, Best Sex Scene and Best Oral Scene; while titles such as HAND PICKED 2, STR8 SHOTS and WHEN BEARS ATTACK have garnered awards such as Best Amateur Video, Best Solo Video and Best Specialty Release. Rascal Exclusives have also brought in their fair share of awards, such as Kyle Kennedy, Matt Summers, Eddie Stone and Blake Riley being honored with the highly coveted Best Newcomer Award and Rascal Exclusive Johnny Hazzard being named Best Actor.
Rascal has strived to be at the top and in the last decade has earned its position as one of the leading studios in the world of adult entertainment. As a premier brand, Rascal has teamed with Topco Sales to create the Rascal Toy Line, a catalogue of specialty toys and signature pieces which are molded directly from the Rascal Models. In addition, Rascal has also partnered with other key companies in the adult world to provide custom and branded products that are unique to Rascal Video, such as the annual Rascal Calendar, Rascal Greeting Cards and photo books like WARNING and SMUT to name a few.
Over the next decade, Rascal looks to a bigger, bolder and brighter future with more big budget blockbusters and new hot products with the upcoming year marking the return of mainstream model and Rascal Exclusive Benjamin Bradley as well as an all new leather themed production. Don’t blink now, Rascal’s just getting started!
