Yes, congrats to MF and the Arch Angel crew, however i think the bigger congrats should go to us the fans who ponied up the cash and actually bought these movies. This means they'll continue to make the stuff we enjoy so much. Keep up the great work guys and girls

A few questions: 1. Will ArchAngel only sell physical media, or is there a plan to start a website on which streaming and download options will be available?2. That's a statement that deserves it's own thread, but I'll only ask if you are talking about physical media specifically. Does this fact also apply to the download and streaming of IR scenes? What about subscriptions to IR websites and networks that regularly shoot IR? 3. I consider Jada Stevens to be an IR all-star. Will that change now that she is contracted to ArchAngel? Is her contract exclusive?

^If that's what he meant by IR then I'm glad to give a sigh of relief. I know IR does well online but when it comes to dvd sales I'm completely ignorant.

Sorry to intervene but my opinion is that DVD era is getting gradually over... I pretty much believe the adult directors should think a better and more prosperous alternative. Internet is showing the way...

^^I'd be interested to know where the big profits are: in online porn or in physical media. Among the few people I know who watch porn legally, none of them regularly buy actual DVDs or BluRays, but I don't know that this is true of porn customers in general.

I've never bought a porn DVD in my life. For many reasons, and one of the most important is: I'm in Italy, american DVDs are rare and cost a lot. So.....will I ever have the chance to see these ArchAngel movies? I hope so... You loose the main part of customers if you don't sell online clips.

^ I'm too in Italy. I never bought porn DVD because they 're too cost and I love to watch ONLY what I like. The membership/subscription for the official website is the best thing for me. So Mimefreak, I wish the release of ArchAngel, above all because JadaStevens is a contract girl, now... . Edited by - GapeLoverForever on 11/28/2014 12:45:47 PM

Yo MF, any luck getting Kimberly Kendall for a scene? She has so much star-potential I need to see more of her! With you directing, she'd be dynamite on the screen.
^^^ and ^^ I too live in Italy and I mostly buy DVDs , not only this but ArchAngel's are distributed by Mile High media those of Girlfriend series , possibly along with Jules Jordan and Evil Angel the most thoroughly available here Today I bought Lexington Steele: Double Tamed , Rocco Perfect Slaves 5 , Lisa Ann's School of Milf 2: The Education of Belle Knox, Nikki Benz Jungle Fever. Mile High media ,contrarily to many others ,will sell the DVD first and only after that their products are available for download I'd rather buy a physical copy than any downloaded content Edited by - LCF on 11/28/2014 2:01:43 PM
^ Good for you, it means that you can spend lots of money.... I buy a monthly EvilAngel subscription (hundreds of scenes) with the same amount of a single DVD (5 or 6 scenes)
Well If properly stored a DVD (original, a printed one not a burnt one) is basically eternal, this is not the case for downloaded content sooner or later you will lose the data. Also something may happen between the companies or the performers , for example James Deen's content is no longer available at Evil Angel nor is Jules Jordan's old stuff , But i have physical copies of the material I wanted , whatever they do I will still have it. My monthly budget is roughly € 200 including memberships and rentals ,but that is the maximum amount I'm willing to spend , I don't reach such total every month
I have plans to shoot a few girls on this list and really soon. With the new year coming up I would like to get Gracie, Keisha, Ava, Gianna and Dani. Those are goal girls right there.
That's going to be coming around X-Mas time. I will always post on here and Twitter and TheMimeFreak.com It's easier for me and it works better for the core fans. But be patient we will get to the blog site really soon.
I apologize that I haven't posted and responded to you in a timely manner. So let's jump right in to it. After reading your post I want you to understand that there are rules of regulation when it comes to being a producer/director and an owner of a company. I hear what you are saying but understand this, the adult entertainment industry is a BUSINESS...I am not here to fully invest my time to having fun, (even though I always have a great time on set and I love what I do) I'm here to cater to the core fans with product that is DEMANDED. Now, I too love Latinas. I grew up with Latinas all around. After getting to the level I am in the business I noticed that there weren't a lot of Latina IR movies. After checking the numbers and asking questions to not only my superiors and elite directors at other companies, Latina IR movies don't sell well. Now understand I am a director that does things differently when I can. For example, I'm the most recent black director that shoot all white movies. Anal Freaks 1 &2, Curvy Girls 6, and Beautiful Tits are all white movies. And if you can find another black director that's shot in all white movie let me know or a white director that's shot an all black movie please bring fourth their names. Jaysin came close with Black Where you Be'long and I played a major role in that movie. However if I choose to produce/direct movies that don't bring in a certain revenue then I'm hurting my brand and the company I'm employed by. Also, you have to keep in mind that when it comes to certain Latinas, they have a history of their families not wanting them to film with black guys. I have been told this from three of the girls that have been mentioned here often. I will tell you that I'm cool with Jynx, V-Rod, Vicki Chase, Missy Martinez, Diamond Kitty, Liv Aguilera, and Sara Luv to name a few. That's a hell of a list right? But one thing about me is I will not force or suggest a scene to a chick that's not willing to shoot it. I hear what you are saying and it makes perfect sense, but you have to know what's going on in the house instead of assuming what you think you know from the outside. I hope this has given you some clarity on things but you never know what's going to happen in the near future. You just might get some Latina and IR scenes. I plan to shoot some but as far as a whole movie...I just don't know if it's a smart move. Other then that, Thank You for your kind words and I hope that you are a fan that actually purchases movies from the directors up take time to write post to.
You are right. However it was the fans that vote for all this girls for The Booty Movie. So I thank you all for voting for the girls that you wanted to see. It started with the fans.

Thank you for responding. I'm glad I misunderstood, though disappointed (and a bit surprised) that Latina/Black scenes underperform. I'd like to know, is ArchAngel going to limit itself exclusively to physical media or can we expect a website down the line that offers streaming and download options?

Gee... MimeFreak I think you are misunderstood me greatly... and I was shocked when you said that you were offended by my declaration "your honestly is killing me"... I thought that you could easily realize that it was just a figure of speech. I didn't mean it literally. If I did offend you then I am truly sorry. Nobody wants to be fooled by anyone else, not even in this forum and much more in life. One of the virtues I value much in a person is the honesty and the "straight-fordwardness". I don't like ass-licking (hmmm I mean metaphorically because literally there are some very nice female asses I have no problem licking [:P)]) and of course I feel safe to have friends that they are not hesitating to tell me the truth, even if sometimes this is hard. (for example if I look like a clown when I am ready to go out ... I want someone to tell me how I really look and not to flatter me, because otherwise I will end up being the public ridicule of every place I will appear). In the same logic, I don't hesitate to express my opinion (that's why, I often quarrel about my fiancee's cooking). On the other hand, sometimes in life we have to be political correct. We have to be very careful what we are saying, especially if we are talking in public places. Who we are and to whom we are addressing to, defines our relations with our surrounding people. For example, if you are a coach and you are training a team, which is not doing well, you have to be very careful on your statement against the players, otherwise you will destroy their psychology. Also, when you are politician it is very important to use the right phrases to address to certain minorities, otherwise you will see the numbers of your popularity falling. Of course, you are not a coach either a politician. Still, you impersonate a hope for many members here, whose in your face they see the man who will be able to give them the visual bliss they seek, by fulfilling their wishes. You have to realize that you have created this image and it is not an exaggeration. That was a very smart move from your behalf, trying to communicate with your audience and listen to their thoughts. You created faithful followers and you raised the possibilities to acquire many more. But it also created responsibilities towards them. Whatever you say automatically gains great importance for many many people who read your posts. Thus, when you make a statement, you have to keep in mind how you express it in order not to seed questions and disappointment among the public. It is a smart thing to keep your audience warm even if it is difficult to materialize their demands. I think you know it better than anyone else this. Plus, there are some adult viewers who they consider themselves "romantic", (yes I belong to this club as well) meaning they like to think that shooting an erotic scene is not only a routine procedure, part of an everyday duty, but something a lot more. Although maybe they know that in reality it is just numbers and marketing, that most of the performers are just acting and the whole scene is simply a part of a show... Still We might want to fool ourselves that there is a pinch of real chemistry between the actors or a touch of genuine passion to whatever action is being committed on screen. The whole industry of entertainment is based on this illusion even if it is mainstream even if it is porn. This is the spirit under which I justified my specific declaration. It is not the honesty that kills me for God's sakes.
I hear you. If Im wrong I'm wrong. Just stay tuned to what I have coming really soon. I appreciate everything that you have said. I will be getting a chance to explore different areas of this industry and I'm still trying to grow.
@MF: AW Trailer looks great. I have to say I like the variety in the popshots for the archangel films so far. The finish on Jada's boucing booty was awesome (more of that please!) and having the girls finish the job (Romi's finish in BT looks epic!) is adding some nice variety to your scenes. Jada's contract is looking like a smart move and the ArchAngel library is becoming a real thing. Good Luck!

How about a movie called Fit Ladys. Female Cast: Kendra Lust Abella Danger Kelsi Monroe Jamie Jackson Male Cast: Erik Everhard Xander Corvus or Prince Yashua if you want an IR Guy in it. Johnny Sinns Chris Strokes Pairings: Kendra Lust with Erik Everhard Abella Danger with Johnny Sinns Kelsie Monroe with Xander Corvus or Prince Yashua if you want an IR scene in the flick Jamie Jackson with Chris Strokes what do you think MimeFreak ?
