Cheldea Poe’s “Queer Porn Americana” received a nomination for Best Trans Release, while Bella Vendetta’s “Training of Poe” received a nomination for Best BDSM Release and TroubleFilms.com has received a nomination for Specialty Site of the Year — Female Produced.
“Chelsea Poe’s work as a director, producer and performer is the foundation of our successes in 2017, particularly with her film Queer Porn Americana, co-produced by Ella Bryn and Courtney Trouble, which she made by visiting queers around the country and then screened around the world on the Queer Porn Americana World Tour,” a spokesperson said.
“As a performer and co-producer, Chelsea Poe also found success in ‘Training of Poe,’ which was directed by Bella Vendetta and is co-distributed through TroubleFilms, Poe and Bella Vendetta Productions.”
Poe commented, “‘Training of Poe’ is a rare look at lifestyle BDSM relationships, shot by queer video artist Jacqueline Mary. When I saw it, I literally said out loud — this is the best BDSM documentary I’ve ever seen.”
The spokesperson concluded, “Congrats to Trouble, Poe, Ajapornfilms, Bella Vendetta, Hill-Meyer, April Flores, Julie Simone and all the other amazing people who made this recognition from our peers in the industry possible. And to our friends in our midst who have also been nominated, congrats — we are humbled to be in your company.”
