Hollywood, CA- CAVR has announced that Will Ryder [pictured right] has won the 2008 Director of the Year Award for his work on the adult hit comedy Not Bewitched XXX from X-Play.
Will Ryder also known in the adult industry as Jeff Mullen was informed that he had won the CAVR Award for Director of the Year as he made preparations for his trip to the Adult Entertainment Expo which culminates with the AVN Awards in Las Vegas.
“I was very surprised that I won this great directing award from CAVR. I want to thank them for putting a smile on my face before Vegas and I’m glad they enjoyed Not Bewitched XXX because it is a fun porn movie,” Ryder said.
Created by X-Play and distributed by Adam & Eve Pictures, the movie stars Jenna Haze as Samantha, Teagan Presley as Tabitha and Nina Hartley as Endora in one of the funniest porn movies in recent years.
Darren & Samantha have a big problem when Aunt Clara can’t undo a spell cast on Tabitha that accidentally turns the sweet little toddler into an 18 year old cutie. With her first birthday party looming, all hell breaks loose when nosy neighbors, the boss and even the police arrive. Wild sex, dirty witchcraft, perfect tits, booty and snatch abound in this hilarious XXX spoof of the 1960’s classic TV show.
“Not Bewitched XXX was a really fun movie to produce and direct,” stated Ryder. We have an all-star cast that really brought the characters to life and the costumes, period furniture and sets were all wonderful plus anybody that watches Nick at Night and loves porn will enjoy this sitcum.”
With 19 AVN Award nominations including one for Best Comedy, X-Play co-producer Scott David hopes that Not Bewitched XXX brings home a few trophies.
“It would be great to see our cast members and crew get the recognition they deserve for a job well done but there’s a lot of good competition out there,” he said.
A CAVR representative agreed and said, “Teagan was outstanding and funny as all get out. It is a great little movie that everybody can enjoy.”
Starring an all-star cast of 23 that includes Jenna Haze, Teagan Presley, Eva Angelina, Sasha Grey, Sunny Lane, Aurora Snow, Nina Hartley, Michelle Avanti, Kelly Skyline, Madison Ivy, Winter Sky, Daisy Layne, Kandice Nicole, Marli Jane Mike Horner, James Bartholet, Mike Horner, James Deen, Nathan Threat, Jack Lawrence, Aaron Wilcoxxx and Ron Jeremy, Not Bewitched XXX is the type of porn movie that you just shouldn’t miss.
Sunny Lane commented, “It’s good to see Will Ryder getting some directing recognition because he’s really a great director. I loved being in this movie.”
Ryder made a few predictions, “I think Jenna Haze wins Female Performer of the Year and Nina Hartley and James Bartholet tie for Best Non-Sex Performance, Teagan wins something really good and we take home Best Comedy.” “But then again I have whiffed before.”
Roger Pipe at Rogreviews.com agrees saying, “I’d say that Not Bewitched XXX is the prohibitive favorite for Best Comedy of 2008.”
Don Houston of Xcritic.com writes, “For me, there has been nothing even close as good this year for a comedy title.
With the CAVR Award on his resume, Will Ryder will make his way to the Circle Bar at the Venetian Hotel with a smile on his face and a pretty girl on his arm. Plus he hopes to see everybody at the X-Play/Realtouch party Friday night, January 9th at the MGM Grand’s Studio 54 to celebrate porn, sitcums and pretty girls.
Not Bewitched XXX is available on DVD from Adam & Eve Pictures/X-Play and is also available via VOD from AEBN. Fans can check out all the fun at www.bewitchedxxx.com and www.sitcums.com and see the award list at www.cavr.com
