(MARINA DEL REY, CA) — Paul Thomas’ acclaimed movie “Pervert” is the recipient of 7 nominations for the 2012 AVN Awards. The 25-year stalwart and most-awarded director in the adult industry created “Pervert” as an intelligent vision of deviant behaviors lurking in the back of even the most normal minds. The second feature produced under his independent banner – Paul Thomas Presents – and distributed by Exile Distribution, “Pervert” is recognized with nominations for Best Feature, Best Screenplay (Paul Thomas), Best Supporting Actor (Eric Swiss), two Best Supporting Actress noms (Lily LaBeau & Samantha Ryan) as well as Best Boy/Girl Sex Scene, and Best Three-Way G/G/B Sex Scene.
The AVN Awards will be held January 21, 2012, at the Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada. For more information, visit www.AVNAwards.com.
Paul Thomas says, “It’s always an honor to be nominated for an AVN Award. One might think after all these years it’s an old hat by now, but this year in particular means a lot more than anything in the past. I try to do what matters most to me – and that’s to make erotic art with a captivating storyline to enhance the sex. Things like character and dialogue and chemistry are often forgotten in many productions. I’m grateful it’s still being recognized and embraced by critics and consumers, and I’m grateful to have worked with such fantastic performers who knew how to translate my vision onto the screen.”
Paul Thomas directed 12 films honored with AVN’s Best Picture award. The production company, Paul Thomas Presents gives the famed director the freedom to fully explore the darker aspects of his mind and soul to create cutting-edge, erotic films. “Pervert” reveals a new side to the prestigious director, as Paul Thomas looks to make it his 13th Best Picture.
“Pervert” stars Lily LaBeau, Bobbi Starr, Samantha Ryan, Krissy Lynn, Sarah Shevon, Otto Bauer, Eric Swiss, Anthony Rosano and Derrick Pierce in two stories of regular people taking their sexual desires to the extreme. Otto Bauer plays Doyle, a Peeping Tom obsessed with Joy (Lily LaBeau). Joy likes to play twisted games too, and it’s not long before she has Doyle on all fours begging to be pleased… or punished. He’ll do anything, as long as he has her attention. Eric Swiss is Robin, a lawyer bored with his life – finding adrenaline rushes from mugging strangers and sleeping with prostitutes. While Psychologist Marion (Samantha Ryan) is supposed to help fix Robin’s abnormal behavior, he ends up pulling her down into his dark world. “Pervert” is unlike anything Paul Thomas has ever done before.
In his review of “Pervert,” AVN Media founder Paul Fishbein wrote, “[Paul Thomas] is shooting some of the best sex in his career…Solid feature, which is wholly original and should be stocked by anyone who does well with story-oriented product.”
