HOLLYWOOD – Among the nominees announced by AVN for the 2005 AVN Awards Show was premiere fetish company, Starr Productions. The Hollywood-based company, which specializes in campy big-bust flicks, wasnominated under the “Best Alternative Release” category for the tempting and teasing hit “Back to the 50’s Burlesque 2.” Headed by CEO Elizabeth Starr, Starr Productions is one of the few full-service production companies in theindustry owned by a woman. “We’re all very excited to be nominated.” remarked Starr, “It’s a wonderful feeling to put your heart and soul into something and have the industry recognize it.” Starr wrote and directed “Burlesque” in part as a tribute to her mother who was a showgirl in Las Vegas.

“We can’t wait for the Awards Show in January,” said Starr, “it will be a great start to the New Year. We have many exciting new projects in pre-production and we’re very much looking forward to a great 2005.” Starr Productions’ next release will be “Faster Pussycat – Fuck, Fuck!” a tribute-spoof loosely based on Russ Meyers’ famous big-bust flick Faster Pussycat – Kill, Kill.
