Chris Ward in Club Inferno’s\u00a0Fist for Hire, Part 1<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Chris Ward is a singular figure in gay erotica. After getting his start directing for Hot House, building Raging Stallion, and merging with Falcon Studios, his career has come full circle with the recent acquisition of Hot House Entertainment. These three studios now comprise the new Falcon Studios Group, the world\u2019s largest producer of all-male erotica. In this exclusive interview, Ward tells us about his journey from fledgling director to Falcon Studios Group President.<\/p>\n HUNT: <\/b>So Chris\u2026 you started Raging Stallion years ago, then merged with Falcon, and now you have just announced that you are taking over Hot House Entertainment.\u00a0 Did you ever imagine this would happen when you started your porn career?<\/p>\n Chris Ward:<\/b> It\u2019s been beyond any and all expectations.\u00a0 When I started Raging Stallion I had the modest hope of earning a small income and not going broke!\u00a0 It was touch and go for many years. \u00a0I looked at companies like Falcon, Titan, and Hot House with a huge amount of envy.\u00a0 My goal was just to join that elite group with good quality filmmaking.\u00a0 I loved shooting hot guys having sex.\u00a0 It was a dream job.\u00a0 I never thought I would have as much success as I have had over the years. It\u2019s been a hugely rewarding experience, and I hope it continues for years to come.<\/p>\n Chris Ward in Club Inferno’s\u00a0Fist for Hire, Part 1<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n HUNT: <\/b>You got your start at Hot House back in 1997.\u00a0 Tell us about that.\u00a0 Also, how does it feel to now be back at Hot House after all these years?<\/p>\n CW:<\/b>\u00a0 I got started as an actor\/director for Steven Scarborough\u2019s Club Inferno line of fisting films.\u00a0 I honestly think the main reason he gave me a chance (remember, I had ZERO experience in porn or in film) was because I had a group of five or six fuck buddies who wanted to be in a fisting movie, myself included. \u00a0It\u2019s very, very difficult to cast fisting movies, so having a whole cast of actors at the ready was the door opener.\u00a0 My first movie did well\u2014I realized quickly that wow, finally I had found something I was really good at.\u00a0 That movie turned into another dozen films I made for Hot House.\u00a0 I was given an incredible amount of freedom to develop my own style. I think Steven gave me this freedom because the product was really good.\u00a0 At some point in those early years I decided to go full porn\u2014so I quit my day job and started Raging Stallion with my business partner, J.D. Slater.\u00a0 After that I had an ugly separation from Hot House, something that troubled me for many years.\u00a0 Finally, about five years ago, Steven and I had a reconciliation (time heals all wounds\u2026.it really does). \u00a0He and I have been close ever since.\u00a0 When Steven decided to retire, he came to me to ask if I was interested in taking over Hot House.\u00a0 He told me that he trusted me with his legacy. \u00a0That is the finest complement I have ever had.<\/p>\n HUNT: <\/b>What do you like about Hot House movies?<\/p>\n CW:<\/b> They are very, very high quality in terms of production value.\u00a0 The lighting, the sets, the editing\u2014it\u2019s all top, top quality.\u00a0 Personally I really dislike watching poorly filmed porn, and Hot House defines high quality. I also really like the feel and energy of Hot House erotica. This all comes from Steven Scarborough\u2019s approach to porn\u2014its ass centered and in your face.\u00a0 Its old school, a legacy from his years at Falcon back in the 1980s and 1990s, but it\u2019s GOOD School.<\/p>\n HUNT: <\/b>The combined Falcon \/ Raging Stallion \/ Hot House mega studio, Falcon Studios Group, is the largest gay porn production company in the world.\u00a0 How on earth are you going to manage filming so much content and maintaining the integrity of these important brands?<\/p>\n CW:<\/b> It\u2019s a huge job, and a little scary.\u00a0 We have a full movie being shot every single week all year long, and some weeks we have two movies being shot. We will produce almost 100 new four-scene movies over the next 12 months, and release another 50 compilations, collections, or special package events. This represents nearly 50% of all new gay porn being shot in the United States, and almost 75% of all high-quality all-mail erotica worldwide.\u00a0 I have a team of first class, award winning directors to rely upon to get the job done: Tony Dimarco, Steve Cruz, Bruno Bond, Christian Owen, and Nick Foxx.\u00a0 And, given the workload, you will probably see me coming out of direction retirement to shoot some productions next year.\u00a0 Christian comes over from Hot House and I plan to work closely with him to maintain the look and feel of Hot House productions. Of course it will change a bit, just like Falcon changed a bit, but the heart and soul of each individual brand is important.\u00a0 Customers want to get what they expect when they purchase a title from any individual brand.\u00a0 We have done a good job keeping Falcon and Raging distinct, and I think we can do the same with Hot House.\u00a0 But since I am now running Hot House, you will certainly occasionally see a hairy guy popping up now and then!<\/p>\n HUNT: <\/b>You have recently announced a whole new class of exclusive actors.\u00a0 Many studios do not sign guys to contracts anymore.\u00a0 Why are you doing this?<\/p>\n CW:<\/b> We have a lot of porn to shoot, so its part of my job to secure the hottest talent on earth to appear in our films.\u00a0 If I can get them to appear only in our films, then all the better! We have recently signed some amazing men to join our team of top quality actors.\u00a0 Our current exclusives include Ryan Rose, Boomer Banks, Shawn Wolfe, Sean Zevran, Dario Beck, Brian Bonds, Andrew Stark, Johnny V and David Benjamin. \u00a0And, we\u2019ll be announcing another huge name in the next couple weeks.<\/p>\n HUNT: <\/b>What\u2019s coming up in the immediate future?<\/p>\n CW:<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0We\u2019ve picked up the Hot House production, and fans will start seeing those updates on the membership sites soon.\u00a0 Immediately, we\u2019ll be increasing the updates on HotHouse.com<\/a>\u00a0to two updates per week, and we\u2019re offering all of our fans 50% discounts on HotHouse.com<\/a> and ClubInfernoDungeon.com<\/a> during the month of August. We are about to release four major features for the fall: \u2018Naughty Pines 1 and 2\u2019 from Falcon Studios and \u2018Gran Vista\u2019 and \u2018The Tourist\u2019 from Raging Stallion.\u00a0 My directorial return \u2018Breaking the Bond\u2019 starring Exclusive Brian Bonds and four more exclusives is coming later this year.\u00a0 The Falcon Edge line is about to release its next film, \u2018Crave.\u2019\u00a0 We will announce a super star exclusive in the next couple weeks, and we\u2019re going to announce the Falcon Studios Group \u201cA TEAM\u201d of models in September\u2014these will be the guys we are casting as our top stars for the next year, and they\u2019ll all be appearing at our Annual VIP Party.\u00a0 This year the party will celebrate 15 Years of Raging Stallion and 20 Years of Hot House on the Saturday night before Folsom Street Fair.\u00a0 Plus, I\u2019m very excited about the collector\u2019s edition Raging Stallion 15th<\/sup> Anniversary Pack coming out in September, which includes my 15 picks for the best movies Raging Stallion Studios has ever produced. It\u2019s an exciting time to be working on so many different projects, and I have no plans of stopping anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chris Ward in Club Inferno’s\u00a0Fist for Hire, Part 1 Chris Ward is a singular figure in gay erotica.
