Interview with Cruel Media’s Raul Cristian
By C. Mizzle

Raul Cristian (born October 18, 1973 in Romania) celebrates his 36th birthday this month and yet his résumé suggests the experience of a man who’s been in the business for several decades. To meet him in person, one would think the handsome, energetic body-builder is in his late 20’s. One thing is clear; Raul doesn’t waste a single minute of his day. The former actor turned director-producer is always on the move… in the last five years Raul’s Cruel Media imprint has filmed over 2,000 scenes.
Raul Cristian entered the adult business as a performer shooting his first scene when he was 20 in Budapest, Hungary. In 2000 Raul Cristian formed Floyd-Agency, a European porn talent agency focused on producing adult content for the internet. In January 2007, Raul formed Cruel Media and soon after caught the attention of Evil Angel John Stagliano who promptly signed Cruel Media to a distribution deal. Together with his partner and love-interest, the lovely Clara G., herself a director with an impressive body of work, Raul had burst into the adult business in a big way, on two continents no less.
Along with the non-stop schedule of creating movies, Raul has somehow made time to run Cruel Media’s trans-continental business operations and maintain the rigorous workout regimen required to stay in professional caliber physical shape.
We caught up with the busy entrepreneur in Los Angeles and convinced him to carve a few minutes of time into his packed schedule to tell us about his arrival in the business, Cruel Media’s movies, his deal with powerhouse studio Evil Angel and his plans for 2010.

CM: You started as a performer but your largest volume of work is primarily as a director/producer. How did that happen?
RC: I quickly realized that I wanted to control my own destiny and devote my time to shooting projects that were my vision, not someone else’s. I also wanted to make sure that I owned my own movies and had control of my business. Performers make good money but content owners make the profits. I like profits.

CM: How did Clara G. make the jump from performer to director?
RC: Clara was a girl-girl model only. I worked with her and helped her to improve as a model. I did the same thing with her as a director. Now, when she shoots, I’m not even on the set. The great thing about Clara is that when she directs, she gets a performance from the women that I can’t achieve. She has her own way of communicating with the girls.

CM: It makes sense that Clara’s experience would be perfect to direct the all-girl scenes in the My Evil Sluts series. How does that translate to the boy-girl scenes or to the Prime Cups series which is a boy-girl line?
RC: Prime Cups is a big tit series. Most of the women have lovely natural breasts and so does Clara. I think she appreciates this and uses that to inspire her. You must see her movies yourself because they are not just soft pretty scenes. Clara is soft and pretty but her scenes are hardcore and very intense.

CM: What about the titles you direct… You mentioned that Ass Traffic is your favorite line. Why?
RC: Definitely Ass Traffic! Why? Simple! Because I love anal sex! (Ed. Note — Raul shoots me an impatient glare at my too obvious question.)

CM: Your other series seem to have very specific appeals… Sperm Swap, Big Butt Attack, Tamed Teens. What’s the philosophy?
RC: I made my biggest impact in the internet business. The internet is about niche marketing. The thing we discover is that DVD consumers are the same… they want specific genres. The viewers usually know exactly what they want, and we give it to them better than anyone else. If the others do five scenes we give them six. When they went to six scenes, we went to seven. All good scenes! Remember we shoot constantly.

CM: How did you wind up at Evil Angel?
RC: It was always my goal to have a deal with Evil Angel. They have the best reputation. Their gonzo is the best. They’re focused on quality, like me. I met John Stagliano in Berlin and told him this. He didn’t seem that interested or maybe he was very busy, but he gave me his card and told me to send my movies to their office. I sent them in and then John contacted me and said: “Come see me on your next trip to Los Angeles to talk about Evil Angel distributing your movies.” I booked a flight immediately and the rest is history.

CM: What’s your new project you want to tell us about?
RC: This month we moved our operation from Hungary to Los Angeles. One of the things we’re doing now is weekly live feeds on Clara’s website (Clara-G.com). These are full sex scenes shot live. Our studio in L.A. is the best set up for live sex that we know of. The lighting is bright, the production professional. The scenes will also be on DVD so everyone will have a chance to see this immediate style we are shooting.

CM: What’s the DVD release schedule for Cruel Media at Evil Angel?
RC: We release one to two titles per month at Evil Angel, some from the Buttman Magazine division.

CM: What’s the difference between Evil Angel titles and the ones from Buttman (Evil Angel’s sister company, Buttman Magazine Choice DVD)?
RC: The ones from Buttman Magazine are more specialty releases. Also, they’re priced lower.

CM: Evil Angel’s prices are generally high. Does this help or hurt the line?
RC: Look, there’s free porno everywhere now. I started in the internet business. I understand this. What we believe is that real fans want quality and they will pay for a good experience. They can look at the free or cheap stuff for hours and never get off, or they can pay a higher price for one Cruel Media DVD and jack off to it over and over because it’s quality pornography made by people who know what sex movies are supposed to be. My message to the viewers is to not support the free or pirated movies because this will be the end of the business, and the end of good porno.

CM: On that note, give our readers some information to support your next project and enjoy this quality jack-off experience you’re so passionate about… what’s new from Cruel Media?
RC: In November we have two new movies — Big Butt Attack 7 from Buttman Magazine Choice DVD which is all big asses that John Stagliano loves. At the end of the month we’re releasing Ass Titans 3 with Alexis Texas.

CM: In fact, your Alexis Texas photo is the cover of this month’s Adult Buzz Magazine. We can hardly wait. Thank you for the pictures of Alexis and thank you for taking the time to talk to us.

(Christian Mann is the General Manager at Evil Angel Productions. We’ve put a space up for him on insideevilangel.com because he’s in the unique position of getting to constantly interact with our directors. Not only that, he gets news, etc. first! His first couple posts will be interviews that he held with a couple of our directors. After that, sky’s the limit. Enjoy!)

The following interview was held in November, 2008.
Jay Sin is a young director who combines an anarchic passion for girls’ holes (and what can be fit in them!) with a precociously disciplined artist’s eye for color and perspective. The result is an insidiously inviting, candy-colored pornographic world that’s immediately identifiable from the first minute of any given scene. Guys, when they’re present, are not the focus of Sin’s attention — like the oversized butt-plugs, double-headed dildos, candy canes & lollipops that his girls gleefully deep-throat & make disappear up each other’s pussies & asses, their cocks are mostly props for femme fun and games. Which, considering the gals’ rapaciously hungry holes, does make them the luckiest props ever!

Jay has been directing exclusively for Evil Angel over the last year, releasing a torrent of unusual and highly successful titles including Milk Nymphos, Deep Anal Abyss, Gape Lovers, Anal Acrobats and Anal Buffet. I (Christian Mann) caught up with Jay and pinned him down in a conversation that I’ll share with you now.

CM: What is an Anal Acrobat?
I got the name from John Stagliano. He was watching a scene featuring a girl doing tricks with her butt: inserting odd objects, slowly pushing them out, anal winking. John thought the word acrobats best explained what I show in my movies.

CM: How is this different than all the other anal themed movies out there?
What I serve in my movies is a large portion of anal action. My movies are overloaded with anal play. I do this because I used to fast forward to these parts in other videos, so in my movies, it’s non-stop.

CM: What is the most outrageous thing you’ve ever filmed?
Probably the whipped cream enema in Milk Nymphos 2. I made a nozzle for the top of a whipped cream can that could be inserted in the girls’ ass. In this case it was Emma Heart and Tia Sweets. They had a great time. There’s nothing mean or violent about it. It’s nasty but fun. That’s what I try to convey. I want the girls to push their nastiness to the limit, but it’s their doing. I give the girls the instruments and let them go. I just make sure it looks good. They’re in control. It’s bizarre, but it’s not rough. It’s a fetish.

CM: Who is the most daring performer you’ve ever shot?
Amber Rayne in Deep Anal Abyss 1. She took the longest toy in the ass of anyone I’ve ever seen. Probably 13”. I cast this movie looking for girls who could go deep. When she started, she said: “Sure, I’ll give it a shot”. Next thing I knew it was gone! There’s nothing Amber isn’t willing to try.

CM: What’s the funniest thing that ever happened on one of your sets?
In Gape Lovers 3 I had both girls (Amber Rayne & Adrianna Nicole) dressed as honey bees fighting over honey. They were trying to suck the honey out of each others’ asses… that’s where bees store their honey. Sean Michaels enters the scene as the king bee who has to get the honey out with his black stinger. Adrianna’s agent came to the set and was dying laughing. It’s pretty funny but the sex scene is one of the best I’ve shot all year. It’s all there on the DVD.

CM: Which adult directors inspired or continue to inspire your work?
Stagliano, Joey Silvera, Rocco, Japanese Hentai porn. I used to watch Christoph Clark’s movies before I was in the business. He was the first one to gape the girls, and he was the best at it.

CM: Is there anything in mainstream culture that inspires your work in adult?
I come from the extreme surfing/skating world, so it made sense to transition to extreme sex. To be honest, I also get a lot of my ideas from cartoons and comic books. My ideas come from all over the place. I try to portray a surrealistic, cutesy type of fantasy. I like to get close-up on the girls and show a perspective you normally don’t see. My focus is on the girls more than anything. I’ve had fans tell me they’ve seen a particular girl in a bunch of movies, but never the way they saw her in mine.

CM: What need or niche do you think is missing in adult movies that you’re trying to satisfy?
I’m starting a new series called Pretty Sloppy that focuses on spit play. Hot girls who normally don’t do anal are doing A-T-M, rimming, gapes, etc. Spit play and swapping is a big fetish that isn’t being served very well in movies. It will be the main focus, not just a side act in Pretty Sloppy.

CM: Your new release from Evil Angel is Anal Buffet. Tell us about that.
It’s a brand new release that incorporates many of the different anal niches that we’ve been talking about. It’s an-all-you-can watch buffet of gapes, spit play, huge cocks, deep anal insertions, plus a beach scene focusing on gorgeous girls, tan lines and oiled up buns. It’s the last scene cover-girl Annette Schwartz shot before returning to Germany and retiring. She’ll be missed.

CM: What’s different about being an Evil Angel director?
The awesome thing is the freedom that John Stagliano gives us to create our fantasies and then shoot them. We’re not encouraged to just follow a fad or trend. We’re allowed to shoot what turns us on personally knowing that there will be fans who share our passions. That’s why our stuff is always so real. I think that’s why it sells so well.

CM: Any closing thoughts to share with our readers?
I’m excited about my new blog: “Jay Sin’s Butt Blog”. It’s an opportunity for fans to speak to me directly, give me feedback about what they want to see in future releases and see some photos from upcoming titles. The blog isn’t a sales pitch or a sideways attempt to sell something; it’s a real community for people who share my passion. It’s a way for me to interact and also say thank you to the people who count the most: the viewers.

Stars Sasha Grey, Carmella Bing, Tori Black and Kirra Lynne

In Don’t Make Me Beg, porn’s loveliest girls plead for satisfaction from an array of hard-dicked cocksmen in four intense scenes of straight-ahead hardcore. This is John Leslie action at its best; mature and classic in tone, but raunchy as hell. The Maestro’s beautiful women and intimate, sophisticated, sensual presentation will leave you begging for more!

John Leslie’s newest movie features porn star and current indie sensation Sasha Grey greedily deep throating and fucking Mr. Pete. In a marble bathroom, Kristina Rose and Kirra Lynne vie for the sexual favors of Manuel Ferrara.

Leslie gives us a long look at Carmella Bing’s seductive proportions: Her fine, curvy ass, mammoth man-made tits and sexy face are eye-poppingly pleasing. The brunette beauty needs a lot to satisfy her, so she begs two Euro studs to DP her until she climaxes. In the finale, Tori Black is relieved when Mick Blue provides his cock to replace the dildo that just wasn’t enough to fully satisfy her.

Don’t Make Me Beg is available in stores and online now. The trailer is available at evilangel.com.

1. Statistics show that downloading porn illegally can make you go blind

2. You know that Trojan virus you got on your computer last week? That’s from downloading porn….don’t you feel stupid? Wait it gets better, you know that shop you had to take your computer to in order to fix it, as we speak they are looking at all of your porn and laughing at you.

3. Good Porn makes you feel younger, the more you masturbate, and the more you cum, the more you feel revitalized and refreshed. Which leads to other activities like eating right, exercising, and increased brain function….Which translates to Porn=Smart, Fit, Energized all for $20

4. Downloading porn is a crime. Take a good look in the mirror, do you look like a criminal? Can you imagine getting thrown up against a prison wall and getting raped….Don’t be that guy

5. Last but not least, an apocalypse could come and there could be some kind of nuclear fall out that wipes out all electricity…..wouldn’t it be nice to have some kind of magazine on hand? Masturbation relieves stress, and I imagine an apocalypse could be pretty stressful.

All in all, most of this may sound funny, but the bottom line is downloading porn is wrong. You’re taking money out of other peoples pockets. Your being a pick pocketer….
That’s totally like taking money out of someone else’s pocket off the street. It’s stealing! Bad Downloader, no donut! Just say No to Downloading!

Okay, Joey’s down in Brazil. And he’s going nuts. Big surprise, right? That’s like making note that the sun rose in the east this morning. Time does not wither nor U.S. Customs stale the muse of Evil Angel’s Buddha of sexual perversion, especially when he goes in-country in the Land of 1000 Transsexuals.

While Mr. Silvera, like some random mutant from Heroes, is fully capable of exuding a metaphysical aura that transforms his immediate surroundings into a realm of jolly sexual depravity, in Sao Paulo the jolly depravity comes right up to you – on the street, in the bars, in the coffee shops, and says, “Hey mister…”

The resultant gleeful inspiration has evidently led to… drum roll, please… a new T-girl concept from the genre’s number-one auteur! Whether The Next She-Male Idol will be a one-shot or a new line remains to be seen, but by the photographic evidence that Mr. S has been flooding our mailbox with, it will be a sublime affair, with possibly the most bewitchingly feminine yet randy collection of latina lady-boys to yet hit your home screen.

Check the accompanying gallery for contestant number one, the ravishing Raissa Nevada. Joey’s stream-of-consciousness on her goes something like this: “Can you tell from the look in her eyes this is the first scene Raissa Nevada has ever done?… I think she likes sex… her cumshot was flood worthy… Don’t miss her in The Next She-Male Idol… will she win?”

Keep checking back here in this space for more contestants as Colonel Kurtz – ah, we mean, Mr. Silvera – sends further dispatches! And to wallow in more she-male hijinks go here.

Black sex maniac B. Pumper turns his attention to a gaggle of eager white bitches in his new series White Girls Get Busy – a two-disc, five-scene extravaganza that features Evil Angel favorites such as Bobbi Starr, Chayse Evans and Dana DeArmond, as well newcomers Leenuh Ray and Corina Jayden, in intimate couplings plus oral, anal and foot-worshipping fun.

Juicy, braces-wearing Leenuh Rae is a “happy-go-jolly,” curvy teenager, with an ass that barely fits inside her tight jeans. Pumper immediately sets it free, groping and slapping her fat cheeks. She shows off how flexible she is, doing a sexy half-naked back-bend, and Pumper takes inventory of her extra-meaty tits and pussy until she decides she needs his big meat in her mouth.

Tall and tomboyish but still graceful, tattoed ex-Marine Chayse Evans blows BP’s mind when she announces (with a broad grin): “I’ve never had a black man in my ass.” After she warms up her anus with a glass-dildo session, Pumper bypasses her vagina and barely makes a pit stop at her mouth before going directly for her butt-tunnel. Chayse impales herself in a reverse cowgirl, pausing momentarily to hop off and lick her ass-taste from, lubricating Pumper’s rod with her spit for more nasty reaming.

“You’re a celebrity!” B. Pumper exclaims to gal-next-door superslut Bobbi Starr when he discovers her reclining on his couch in casual streetwear, meaningfully stroking a large clear acrylic dildo. Bobbi gives us a steamy, irresistible solo show, her ass up in the air and open wide for inspection, before proving that sucking cock is one of her favorite hobbies. After she performs a disappearing act with Pumper’s thick black bone down her throat, Bobbi climbs on board for a squealing-“O” fuck ride. Pumper picks the talented white girl up and carries her across the room, fucking all the while! Finally, Bobbi opens her big, sexy mouth and slurps down every drop of the black man’s burden.

The double-disc release of White Girls Get Busy includes the entire anamorphic-widescreen movie, nearly an hour of behind-the-scenes footage, a huge amount of trailers and a bonus scene with nubian princess Laura and Pumper from New Li’l Freaks Get It Poppin‘.

White Girls Get Busy is available in stores and online now. The trailer is online at evilangel.com. If your distributor does not carry Evil Angel, please contact Jessica at 800-442-6435.

Every month AEBN has it’s xPeep site xPeeps throw a party for one of the companies that has movies on AEBN. Last night, they had an Evil Angel party.

We were especially promoting Slutty & Sluttier, Open Ended, Pretty Sloppy and Evil Anal 8.

The night started off a little shaky. I had been asked by the promoter Porno Dan to be at the venue at 7:30pm to help with a couple of setup things. I got there at 7:40, thinking I was late. Unfortunately, I was there over 10 minutes before the first club employee arrived, and almost half an hour before Porno Dan showed up. When he went to put up the step-and-repeat media wall, it had another company’s logo instead of ours. So I called John and our manager Christian Mann, and they came to the office to pick up one of ours while I finished putting up posters around the club, and handing out Evil Angel shirts for the club staff to wear.

The club was supposed to open by 8:30 and the red carpet at 9. At 9:15, the club still wasn’t ready, but I said we needed to let people in anyway because people had been waiting outside for about 30 minutes already. The DJ hadn’t arrived yet, so there was no music for the first few minutes.

Someone turned on some good music, and the Spiegler girls were there, so things started picking up quickly. Kristina Rose, Evie Delotosso, Dana DeArmond, Bobbi Starr, Aiden Starr, Adrianna Nicole, Chayse Evans, Charlotte Vale, Cecilia Vega and Stevie Hart all held court in the main part of the club.

Shortly after, Lee Bang from ValleyGirlsXXX arrived with Sophie Dee, Luscious Lopez, Regan Reese and some of his other lovely girls. Sophie was especially excited to be able to show off her brand new DD boobs and was having all the other girls feel them.

In addition to John Stagliano, Evil Angel directors Jonni Darkko, Manuel Ferrara, Raul Cristian and Brian Pumper all came and socialized. I spied John and Brian both admiring Charlotte Vale midway through the night.

Kylie Ireland and Eli Cross arrived. Kylie is as sexy as ever, and for those of you who haven’t seen pictures recently, her hair is a vibrant shade of red again. I hung out with Lexi Lamour and Ethan Cage for awhile, and I’ll post in a separate blog how they ended up completely saving my night.

I got to try out my brand now HD-30 video camera around the club. Check out the clips here at InsideEvilAngel.com.

Sometimes it’s a little hard for some of us average (or below) male specimens not to resent ROCCO SIFFREDI. After all, the guy’s got it all – looks, talent, fame, success, a billy-club of a penis … and unlike your average scandal-avoiding Hollywood star or politician, he has a free pass to utilize said Italian sword whenever, where ever, to whom ever the situation calls for, without fear of censure or impeachment.

And let’s face facts, the guy is catnip to women. Not just horny grandmas and office ladies. ALL women, just about. Even your favorite porn actress, who enjoys her pick of penii – professional, civilian, rapper/rockstar, etc – seems to have one sexual fantasy above all others: To be Rocco-rooted while being made to submit to a swirly (That’s having your head dunked in the toilet, for those of you who spent Junior High in an adolescent safe house).

Case in point: Who would argue that BOBBI STARR is a strong candidate for the reigning Queen of Gonzo at the moment? Hands down, Bobbi is an across-the-board super sexual-fantasy for you, me, her fellow performers, the guy who drives the taco truck, probably even your average (non-homosexual) Republican congressman.

So. Guess what Super Sex Symbol Bobbi Starr’s number-one sexual fantasy is? Or at least used to be, until all her hard-thrusting, damp-porcelain dreams came true last week?

Thanks to the generosity of brilliant porn-blogger GRAM PONANTE, we invite you to follow this link and read Bobbi’s breathless blow-by-blow account of the larger-than-life fuck antics that went on both in front of and sans camera during Rocco’s wild week of gonzo shooting in Porn Valley earlier this month … Prepare to be jealous, ladies and gentlemen. Just try and content yourself with the thought that some of what you’re about to read will indeed make its way into the Italian Stallion’s next Evil Angel release!
