DIGITAL PLAYGROUND
SWEEPS THE 2004 EMPIRE AWARDS
Digital Playground swept The 2004 Empire Awards, taking 6 trophies for contributions to DVD in 2004, more than any other production company. Island Fever 3, which was directed by multi-award winning director, Joone and features exclusive contract stars, Jesse Jane and Devon won the prestigious ‘Viewer’s Choice Award’ by a landslide with 69% of all votes; the runner up held only 10% of the total vote. The voting process for this fan award is simple. JT Smith, Marketing Manager for Adult DVD Empire says, “The ‘Viewers Choice Award’ is the most powerful award we give – we select the nominees but our customers make the final call. They vote on the DVD they liked the best – period.” Joone’s Island Fever 3 also received ‘Best All Sex DVD’, ‘Best DVD Video’ and ‘Best DVD Commentary’ awards. Loaded, which also features contract superstar Jesse Jane took ‘Best DVD Audio’ and Empire named Digital Playground ‘Best Overall Studio’ for the second time. Smith continues, “Digital Playground has always been a front-runner for another powerful honor, ‘Best Overall Studio”. Not only do they create a great product, they also do an excellent job marketing their girls and releases. Plus, Digital Playground was a pioneer into the realm of DVD many years ago, when DVD was a brand new format. Now everyone releases DVDs, but DP was one of the first studios to produce movies meant to be on DVD, not just transfer their VHS release onto DVD.”
Adult DVD Empire, a leading DVD E-tailer, produces The Empire Awards. “Titles are nominated and voted on by a panel of critics comprised by Empire staff and other aficionados of adult entertainment. The ‘Viewers’ Choice Award’ follows a different process; this is selected by consumers, they vote on our website and we accept one vote from each unique email address and identity. This method is fool proof and prohibits any one person from ‘fixing’ the outcome.” explains Smith.
Digital Playground President, Samantha Lewis beams. “I’d like to thank my partner Joone for his technological insights that keep our company ahead of the game. This year he took our Island Fever series to the next level implementing HD and the results have been staggering. I’m honored to have the hottest, sexiest girls in the world, Jesse Jane, Devon and Teagan Presley under contract and I’d like to thank Adult DVD Empire and everyone who participated in the voting process. Thank you.” Company Founder and Director, Joone is pleased, “It is nice to have our work acknowledged by Empire, they are the leading e-tailer in the country. I’d like to thank everyone at Empire and especially all of the fans.”
