Charlotte, NC – AEBN, the Innovator of Video on Demand, and Treasure Island Media, leading producer of gay bareback films, have inked a partnership deal that will give AEBN exclusive VOD rights to Treasure Island’s entire catalog of immensely popular titles.
San Francisco-based Treasure Island Media (TIM) specializes in documentary-style gay bareback videos. Founded by Paul Morris, Treasure Island has become synonymous with some of the most provocative filmmaking in the gay porn world since its debut in 1998.
The studio first signed with the VOD giant in 2004, and the companies have enjoyed a successful relationship since. In 2006, Treasure Island Media was named “Studio of the Year” in AEBN’s VOD Awards, and Treasure Island exclusive model Dawson was honored as “Performer of the Year” in 2007.
“I handled our original deal with Treasure Island myself,” recalls AEBN’s Chris Baker. “I was surprised by how they instantly shined on our network. In the years since, they have continued to be one of our standout studio partners. To have this partnership in place where we will be streaming their content exclusively is amazing. I am so excited to see what the coming months bring.”
“Our TIM community is important to us and we look forward to offering them our content on AEBN’s network,” says TIM’S General Manager Matt Mason. “We are also excited about the future marketing of AEBN’s new interactive RealTouch technology that will feature Treasure Island content.”
To mark the occasion of the new deal, AEBN will launch several new TIM titles in early August, and the companies will continue with an aggressive release schedule throughout the rest of 2009.
