1 February 2008 (Brighton, UK): Multiple award-winning Woodman Entertainment, headed by industry legend Pierre Woodman (who has more than 1000 hardcore scenes, 1500 photosets and over 7000 castings to his credit as a director), is the latest name to be announced from the, now closed, ‘top twenty’ adult channel list on Global Digital Broadcast’s IPTV network.

Since launching its first releases in May 2007, Woodman Entertainment has already garnered seven top industry awards for its movies and has achieved a massive following around the world. Awards to date include; Venus 2007 Best High Budget Film (Xcalibur); FICEB 2007 Best Director – public award (Pierre Woodman), Best Starlet (Divinity Love) and Best Production (Xcalibur); plus Brussels Erotica 2007 Best Movie Director (Pierre Woodman), Best European Movie (Xcalibur) and Best European Starlet (Divinity Love).

Pierre Woodman, chairman of Woodman Entertainment, says: “I am delighted to announce this partnership with Global Digital Broadcast. Distributing our content through their IPTV platform will enable us to reach their huge customer base and take our movies to an even wider audience. Now we have our DVD distribution network established, we are focusing on expanding digital distribution which we expect to contribute substantially to revenues by the end of 2008. We firmly believe in digital distribution and are pleased to be joining forces with one of the leading forces in global IPTV.”

Based in Barcelona, Spain, Woodman Entertainment currently offers seven different product lines in order to cater for all possible tastes. The brand’s flagship Premium line delivers big budget blockbusters (such as the top-selling, 6 award-winning trilogy, Xcalibur); the SeXXXotica series is renowned for its breathtakingly beautiful girls, shot in the most exotic locations and promising “a sensational experience of tropical temptation”; the Woodman Film collection combines spectacular hardcore action with full-length, plot-driven storylines; Sex Carnage, the most extreme sub-brand, is an explosive series based on the winning Woodman formula which has delighted fans around the world for over 10 years.

In addition to Woodman’s own work, the brand also offers treasures such as the Anal Gate line from hardcore specialist, David Perry; and Philippe Soine’s surreal Games of Perversion series which, dedicated to the alternative and unusual, offers a truly unique experience which is not to be missed. Lastly, Woodman Import brings together a cherry-picked selection of the world’s greatest, hardcore, feature movies from both established industry directors and new names.

Global Digital co-founder and director, Jim Deans, comments: “People now see that IPTV is the way forward and that is especially true of the adult industry. Traditional DVD production and distribution is, in fact, slowing down. I like to think of a company in the adult industry as a thoroughbred racehorse and if that racehorse has started to go lame, the more you ride it the worse it gets. You cannot sell it, because who wants a horse with a bad leg, so you keep riding it …until IPTV comes along with a new delivery method to distribute your content straight to the consumers home, in a fast and very cost effective way. Now your horse has bionic back legs and that puts it ahead in the race again.”

Woodman Entertainment can be watched on television sets through Global Digital Broadcast’s PlayTV UK (adult zone) IP set-top box service, online at Woodman Entertainment’s own website and on the GoUK TV adult portal, plus on any other form of compatible media (such as a mobile telephone, or gaming console).
