Chi Chi LaRue's "Billboard" Re-Released On DVD
Thursday, 31 January 2008
Los Angeles, CA – Channel 1 Releasing is pleased to announce that multi award-winning director Chi Chi LaRue’s first feature film for Catalina Video “Billboard” will be re-released on DVD on February 5, 2008.
This 1989 gay porn classic stars the legendary Joey Stefano in his Catalina Video debut. It is also the directorial debut of Chi Chi LaRue, who at the time was asked by the studio to use the stage name “Taylor Hudson” due to concerns that consumers would be turned off by seeing a feminine name on the box cover.
Stefano, who was discovered by LaRue, went on to become one of the most popular models of the 20th Century. Though many of his later movies are out of print and no longer available; porn enthusiasts can now see for themselves why he was an audience favorite throughout the late 1980’s and early 1990’s.
Since his directorial debut, LaRue has not only gone on to dominate the industry with mega-hits like “Link: The Evolution,” “Steele Ranger”, “In Gear”, “2nd Gear”, “Oral Exams”, “Detention,” “Bolt,” “Wrong Side of The Tracks Part 1 & 2,” and many more, but he has also been one of the only directors that has managed to direct simultaneously for multiple major studios. However, he is perhaps most proud of his work for his own company Channel 1 Releasing – which is the largest gay adult entertainment company in the world.
Aside from Stefano, some of Chi Chi’s biggest discoveries include Zak Spears, Hal Rockland, Spike, Joey Hart, Doug Jeffries, Caesar, Rascal Exclusive’s Matt Summers, Johnny Hazzard, and Eddie Stone.
With the acquisition of Catalina Video, late last summer, Channel 1 Releasing has finally begun to re-master and re-release several of the studio’s biggest hits including “French Lieutenant’s Boys,” “Big Guns,” “The Bite,” “In Hot Pursuit,” “Leo & Lance,” “Powertool ,” “Sailor in the Wild,” “Jawbreaker,” and “Motel California.”
Chi Chi LaRue’s “Billboard” stars Adam Grant, Andrew Michaels, Chris Ramsey, Chris Stone, Dusty, Joey Stefano, Lon Flexx, Michael Moore and Vic Summers. DVD extras include Pop Shot On Demand and the “Wrap It Up” PSA.
