Kick Ass Pictures President Mark Kulkis told XBIZ that he has been a fan of ATKingdom’s content for a long time and had set up a series of meetings with the ATKingdom owners during last week’s Phoenix Forum webmaster convention, where the deal was finalized.
The exclusive deal marks the first time Kick Ass will distribute another company’s content. Kulkis said he was waiting to sign a company whose content would be a good fit with his own. Kick Ass Pictures guarantees, “no fake tits, no condoms” in any of its movies.
“I’ve been open to distribute other companies’ DVDs, but wanted to wait for the right offer and the right fit,” Kulkis said. “ATKingdom has a lot of good video footage just sitting there waiting for a home on DVD. I think the market is saturated with the same kinds of girls so there is this groundswell of consumers that want to see something different.”
Kick Ass plans on distributing two ATKingdom movies per month starting in the summer, featuring content that has never before been released. Kulkis is not sure how many total lines will be created, but he plans on delving into the microniche market — especially hairy, natural girls — too.
“Considering our vast amount of content across four mega-sites we feel this is a natural progression for us,” ATKingdom Marketing Manager Chris Kauffman said. “We have volumes of high-quality, girl-next-door video content just begging to be released, and the customer feedback we’ve received over the years confirms the demand for it. Look for some truly kick ass DVDs to start rolling out in the very near future.”
ATKingdom started in 1996 and contains more than one million photos and videos. Many of its models are exclusive to the network of sites and have been shot by photographers all over the world.
