In addition to the prestigious award, bestselling title “Poor Little Shyla” was named Best Porn Movie and “Prague” was named Best International Porn.

TLARaw.com General Manager Brian Sokel says, “Honestly, it's unsurprising Girlfriends Films took home three of our top awards this year. Our customers are ravenous for their films, and each new release showcases their distinct ability to lock in on a specific niche and explore it perfectly for fans. Girlfriends consistently brings beautiful women and true sexuality to the forefront, and we look forward to many more years of working with them.”

“These awards mean a lot to us because they come from the community watching our films,” states Girlfriends Films Vice President Moose. “On behalf of everyone at Girlfriends Films, I would like to thank TLA, its staff, and customers, for honoring Girlfriends Films with not just one, but three top accolades.”

Moose continues, “‘Poor Little Shyla’ was a labor of love; we pushed against stereotypes and broke away from tried and true story lines. Its resulting success is a testament to originality and quality. ‘Prague’ is a brand new line for us and the critical acclaim is a reflection of a remarkable country and its amazing women. We consider our selves fortunate to be able to make movies with such beautiful scenery. Topping these prestigious acknowledgments with Studio of the Year marks one of Girlfriends Films’ proudest moments. We are humbled, and we thank you, TLA. We look forward to making movies you will enjoy for years to come.”

Dan O’Connell, Girlfriends Films owner and the writer / director / producer of “Poor Little Shyla” and “Prague” adds, “I would like to thank both TLA and the fans who cast thousands of votes for our studio and movies. Without their support, I’d be back working a ho-hum job instead of living out a dream. I’d also like to extend my great appreciation for Shyla Jennings and all the other extraordinary women appearing in ‘Poor Little Shyla’ and ‘Prague.’ You are all talented and wonderful.”

The past year was amazing for Girlfriends Films, consisting of record sales, two new and acclaimed series, notable industry accolades, the release of its 300th title, two distribution deals, the launch of its first membership site plus a foray into publishing. Of course, the company’s hit movies like “Poor Little Shyla” and “Prague” were at the forefront of its success.

In “Poor Little Shyla”, Shyla Jennings wants desperately to be like other schoolgirls her age—dating, gossiping, going to the mall and experimenting with her budding sexuality. Shyla is not like other girls though. Her confinement to leg braces and crutches make her the constant target of teasing, until one day the popular girls take a sudden interest in Shyla and her virginity. Are they able to look past Shyla’s differences, or will deflowering the disabled girl be the ultimate prank? After experiencing her first, powerful orgasm, Shyla may not even care about the motive.

“Prague” acquaints viewers with the beauty of the European city, from the architecture to the women. In the first scene of “Prague: Episode 1”, blondes Carol and Sandra show off their flexibility while fooling around on a small Czech bed. Michele and Ines entangle their limbs in a passionate tryst in the movie’s second scene. The third scene features Bianca and Tea lost in fits of orgasm, while Tea returns in the forth scene to have her way with Morgan Moon. Each hot sex scene should be a chapter in a tour guide to the best sites of Prague.

In addition to its movies, Girlfriends Films recently published its first book - Lesbian Sex Positions - and will immediately embark on a full year of promotions, which extend beyond traditional markets. The success of its 2012 wall calendar has Girlfriends Films designing 2 collectable calendars for 2013.

Additional exciting plans for the new year include original, new series, more episodes of the acclaimed GFFMembers.com talk shows "The Vault" and "The Kinky & Creepy Show," the launch of a lucrative affiliate program, distribution of additional producers (based on the success of movies by Juicy Pink Box & Tammy Sands), a second membership website, and development of a novelty patent.
