Smash Receives 2 UK Adult Film Awards Noms
CHATSWORTH, Calif. Smash Pictures’ “Secretaries Day” and “Cheating Housewives 1,” distributed exclusively in the U.K. by Nice N Naughty Wholesale, have been nominated for Best Overseas Film by the 2007 UK Adult Film and TV Awards.
Nice N Naughty owner Simon Prescott told XBIZ that the second annual awards are more sought after than ever before and have become a well-respected measure of success in the U.K. adult industry.
“This is ongoing awareness and promotion of the Smash Pictures label in the U.K.,” Prescott said.
Prescott said that before an adult film can be sold in the U.K., it must be classified by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). In order for it to be sold in department stores and other non-sex shops around the country, the film must be available in a softer cut rated “18.” The hardcore version of each film must be rated “R18″ before it can be sold in licensed sex shops.
Prescott said that both the “18″ and “R18″ versions of both Smash titles were accepted by the BBFC and nominated for awards.
Smash Vice President Stuart Wall told XBIZ that he is very pleased with the company’s exclusive distribution partnership
