“They are the biggest
and the best at what
they do”
of accolades along
the way, racking
up 24 AVN Awards
between 2003-2010. Red Light
and its sister company Platinum
X combined to release 17 titles a
month at their height in 2005.
“David Joseph is committed to
bringing back the Red Light name
featuring only high-quality content,”
said Jim Kohls, who founded
Pulse, which now distributes DVDs
for more than 60 adult studios. “He
will be using the best directors
and stars in the industry. The
Red Light brand was very strong
under David’s ownership and it
will re-establish itself with David’s
commitment to the brand.
“I’m looking forward to working
with him and I think that Red Light
will be better than
ever.”
Red Light District
not only loomed
large in the porn
world under
Joseph’s direction,
the studio became
buzzworthy in
mainstream thanks
to its distribution of
some of the most
notorious sex tapes
in history. Red Light
distributed one
of the top-selling
adult movies of
all time, 1 Night in
Paris, featuring hotel heiress Paris
Hilton. That title won 2005 AVN
Awards for Top Selling Release of
the Year, Top Renting Release of
Above, Zoe Bloom
the Year and Best
Overall Marketing
Campaign -
Individual Project.
The next year Joseph did it again
with 1 Night in China, the sex
tape that showcased the late pro
wrestler Joanie “Chyna” Laurer.
The new Red Light appears to be
setting the tone early with Covet,
which features Elena Koshka taking
on five-time AVN Male Performer
of the Year Manuel Ferrara. Jill
Kassidy pairs off with Bambino;
Zoe Bloom tangles with Ferrara;
and Gia Derza squares off with
Steve Holmes.
In the second movie, titled
Secrets That We Keep and set to
street September 25 (Red Light will
release two DVDs per month), 2018
Female Performer
of the Year Angela
White rematches
with Ferrara. The
two shared the
AVN Award for
Best Boy/Girl Sex
Scene in January
for their scalding
p e r f o r m a n c e
in Angela 3. The
all-star cast also
includes Kissa Sins
coupled with Ferrara;
2019 AVN Awards
co-host Romi Rain
and Small Hands;
and Kenna James
colliding with two-time AVN Male
Performer of the Year James Deen.
