Hot New Talent Agency Opens
JASON SECHREST has announced the launch of a new management company for industry's performers, DV8 Casting. Jason made the official announcement on the eve of The 2009 GayVN Awards, one of the biggest nights in the gay erotic film industry. At 29 years old, SECHREST has served the adult entertainment industry for over 10 years as a reporter, publicist, director, talk show host, club emcee and web entrepreneur. This will mark his first foray into managing the stars he's interviewed for a decade.
SECHREST intends to bring his PR skills to DV8 Casting, not only serving as an agent to his performers, but a promoter as well, which is precisely why he says he's launching with a small stable and insists on keeping it that way.
"I'm starting with a small stable of eight incredible performers and I don't think I would ever want to take on more than twenty at a time," says SECHREST. "I think it's important that I be able to focus individual attention on the performers and not just get them work, but build them into true superstars of the genre. I've worked as a publicist for a lot of years so I think it's exciting that with DV8 Casting, performers can be afforded a big marketing machine without having to be a studio exclusive. It's also an added bonus for the studios. Obviously, if they hire one of these performers, they'll have me doing a lot of press for their movie."
DV8 Casting lifts off with PHILLIP AUBREY, RYAN FOXXX, JOSH GRIFFIN, BEAU MARCUS, JASON PITT, SHANE RISK, MASON ROSS and JOSH VAUGHN signed to SECHREST's roster exclusively for all video, print, online and live appearance bookings.
"My main motivation is to create superstars, so I'm looking for performers who have a lot of potential they haven't yet reached or performers who are reaching their potential but aren't being promoted enough," SECHREST explains. "I'm being really selective because I don't want the roster to get too big. I want it to be a really prestigious and special thing to be a part of the DV8 family."
In his first days as an agent/manager, SECHREST has already placed JOSH GRIFFIN in his Jet Set Men debut for this year's GayVn Hall of Fame inductee CHRIS STEELE's football-themed movie "Tackle," and has booked PHILLIP AUBREY as the lead in multi-award winning director CHI CHI LARUE's biggest budget production so far this year, "TAKE."
Additionally, SECHREST has launched DV8Casting.com as a place for studios to get the 411 on the boys and where their fans can stay up to date with the latest news, movie releases, live appearances and more from their favorite stars. To join the mailing list for updates, email jason@dv8casting.com.

Peter Paige has signed on to direct the indie drama "Sex Crime Panic" for Funny Boy Films. David A. Lee and Daniel Vaillancourt adapted the screenplay from Neil Miller's book "Sex-Crime Panic: A Journey to the Paranoid Heart of the 1950s." The film will explore the sordid true history of the hysteria that led to the incarceration of a group of men in a mental hospital for being gay.
Funny Boy's Kirkland Tibbels is producing with Paige and his Blazing Elm producing partner Bradley Bredeweg. Sterling Zinsmeyer is an executive producer.
George Bendele, who brought the project to Funny Boy, will co-produce along with the company's Greg Copeland and Darryl Anderle. Shooting is set to begin in mid-2010.
"'Sex Crime Panic' recounts an important part of our history," Tibbels said. "Most people have no idea the extent to which thousands of men were rounded up, arrested and thrown into prison or insane asylums for being gay."
Paige adds: "We're thinking of this film in the vein of 'Capote,' 'Milk' and 'Girl, Interrupted.' It's an intense, dramatic exploration of a dark period in our history."
An actor who appeared on the MTV series "Undressed" and Showtime's "Queer as Folk," Paige also has directed the features "Leaving Barstow" and "Say Uncle."
Lee and Vaillancourt wrote for "Undressed" and the 2008 GLAAD Media Awards. They also are developing a feature remake of the Spanish comedy "Reinas."
