With a heavy heart, San Francisco-based Falcon Studios and Raging Stallion Studios has confirmed that\u00a0 prolific director John Bruno has taken his own life. Bruno directed 65 movies distributed by Falcon between 2004 and 2010.\u00a0 Of those, 19 were Mustang Studio titles, and 25 were Falcon features, including some of the biggest hits of the decade like Best Men, Parts 1 & 2<\/em>, Fleet Week<\/em>, Asylum, Snap Shots<\/em> and Roman\u2019s Holiday<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Born in Michigan in 1967, Bruno was discovered by Falcon shortly after he founded Massive Studios in 2004.\u00a0 He continued to produce Massive content while he became a major directing force at Falcon Studios and Mustang Studios.\u00a0 Falcon distributed 21 DVDs containing Bruno\u2019s Massive content under the moniker Men of Massive.<\/p>\n

Bruno was responsible for discovering many major stars, and he worked with most of biggest stars in gay porn from the last ten years.\u00a0 He was a major influence on the career of Erik Rhodes, who he directed and then mentored as a director.\u00a0 He also has the accomplishment of directing one of the most successful scenes in Falcon\u2019s history, Adam Killian and Zeb Atlas in Best Men, Part 2 \u2013 The Wedding Party<\/em>.\u00a0 This was Adam Killian\u2019s first gay porn scene as well as Zeb Atlas\u2019s first project in gay porn. He discovered and groomed Tom Wolfe who went on to become a Falcon\/Raging Stallion Exclusive and a huge star in the porn world.<\/p>\n

Wolfe had these sincere comments to share about John\u2019s passing, \u201cSo sad the man who found me, and \u00a0brought me to the industry was lost yesterday. John Bruno was a great friend, talented individual and an amazing person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adam Q. Robinson, \u00a0Falcon\/Raging Stallion VP of Production and close co-worker and friend of Bruno had this to say , \u201cI had the privilege of working on nearly every production with John Bruno, and I can only speak highly of him, his friendship, his work ethic and his creative abilities.\u00a0 He was a warm-hearted caring person who will be greatly missed.\u00a0 It saddens me that he would take his own life, because he gave so much and he had much more to share with this world.\u201d<\/p>\n
