Lucas Kazan Studios Celebrates 10 Years with a Photo Book


Award winning Lucas Kazan Productions celebrates it 10th anniversary this spring (you don’t look over 9 darlings). One of the first titles they made in 1999, “Hotel Italia” won the “Hard Choice Awards” for the Best Director and Best Movie. That was just the start of the long list of awards for their videos, with Kazan himself in 2008 being inducted into the GAYVN Hall of Fame.

In celebrating of Lucas Kazan’s 10th anniversary, Bruno Gmunder will release “Lucas Kazan Italian Style”, a 96 page photo book full of high class Mediterranean masculinity.

"We never set out to build a factory and to crank out videos," Kazan said. "Instead, we aimed for higher production values, exclusive models and exotic locations. We believed back then, and believe today, that porn could be erotic and visually spectacular and professionally lensed. It is more than mere acrobatics. It's about emotions and our collective psyche."

A 10th-anniversary feature film is slated for production May 21 through June 2 in the southern Italian city of Puglia. Italians and Other Strangers, starring a multi-racial cast and a bevy of Italian newcomers, is expected to hit store shelves in the fall.
