Red Light District Video
Encyclopedia
Red Light District Video (RLD) is an American pornographic film studio headquartered in Chatsworth, California.
, whilst Joseph was new to the industry. Giarrusso established the Red Light brand by using his existing industry contacts, and launching an aggressive marketing campaign. Film production was overseen by performer and director
Vince Vouyer
, who had previously been an exclusive director at Anabolic Video
. The plan was to emulate Evil Angel
's setup where producers
/directors would own their own movies, and share in the profits. Other initial directors included Michael Stefano
, John Strong and Mark Wood. The company strove to produce hardcore
gonzo pornography
with higher production values than much of the gonzo of the time, and filmed in luxurious mansions rather than hotel rooms.The studios first film was 110% Natural, which was released on November 1, 2001. Initially Red Light released one film a week, and produced more than 50 films in its first year.
In 2003 Platinum X Pictures was launched by Michael Stefano and Jewel De'Nyle
(who would later marry), bankrolled by Giarrusso and Red Light. Platinum X featured directors Manuel Ferrara
, Brandon Iron
and Steve Holmes, and produced very similar content to Red Light. Around the same time Red Light began distributing the films of Amateur District and Candy Shop, a studio headed by Stefano that specialized in interracial content.De'Nyle left Platinum X in June 2006.
Vouyer and Giarrusso eventually brought over many of Vince's colleagues from Anabolic in 2004. Erik Everhard
, Lexington Steele
, and Mike John joined RLD, where they could start their own production companies to be distributed by the RLD infrastructure. Steele's stay was brief, as he left to start his own studio, Mercenary Pictures, after only a few releases at Red Light.
In 2004 Giarrusso left the company. Joseph bought out his share and took over the reins, slowly shifting from a business model based on producer/director ownership, to a model where he owned more and more titles, and could profit accordingly. He, for all intents and purposes, merged RLD and PXP, 'promoting' Stefano and Ferrara to RLD.
After negotiations with Rick Salomon
, Joseph was able to get rights to 2004's massive hit movie, 1 Night in Paris
, starring Paris Hilton
. Salomon had initially been distributing the tape himself, following a legal battle with the Hilton family, and he and Red Light agreed to pay Hilton $400,000 plus a percentage of the tape's sales. However, in a 2006 interview with GQ magazine, Hilton stated: "I never received a dime from (the video). It's just dirty money and (Salomon) should give it all to some charity for the sexually abused or something." The film went on to be the top-selling and renting porn film of 2005, and Joseph claims it is one of the top-selling pornographic films of all time. The success of 1 Night in Paris and the media attention it aroused was a huge publicity boost for the company. Other celebrity sex tape

, starring Sean Waltman
and WWE wrestler Joanie Laurer
, and it has also distributed Screeched, featuring Dustin Diamond

In early 2006, several of the RLD directors decided they weren't getting a fair share, and announced they were leaving. Erik Everhard and Ferrara joined Evil Angel. Everhard sued Red Light for breach of contract
, conversion, claim and delivery and accounting, and was awarded $141,000 in damages. Mike John joined Jules Jordan
's new company Jules Jordan Video, and Vince Vouyer left to start Vouyer Media, to be distributed by Wicked Pictures
.
In January 2006, Giarrusso launched his new production company Combat Zone
. In November, 2006, Elegant Angel announced that it would distribute its videos in Europe exclusively through Red Light District, however in April 2007, Elegant Angel instead launched its own European division, Elegant Angel Europe.
In 2007 RL sold its sister companies Platinum X Pictures, Amateur District and The Candy Shop. It also settled a lawsuit over a sex tape that was filmed on Kid Rock
's tour bus. In May 2007 the studio stopped handling its own distribution when it signed an exclusive deal with Pulse Distribution.
