"Since the nominees for this award were chosen by fans and our colleagues in the industry, just being nominated really is an honor," company founder and CEO Ty Gonty said. "Of course, we do want to win too."
The news of the nomination came at the end of a great year for HellHouse. Among other things this year, the company completed the acquisition of Made2Order Video, signed a distribution deal with Pure Play Media and launched a new energy drink called Pure Pain.
HellHouse Media also recently announced the release date of its new title, Nasty Talk, directed by Kevin Moore. The DVD, which features Jenna Haze, Jenny Hendrix, Rachel Starr, and others, will be in stores on March 17.
The 2008 XBIZ Awards will be held Feb. 7 in Hollywood, Calif. in conjunction with XBIZ Hollywood '08 Industry Conference.
