Director of the Year
“Maestro” Claudio, veteran porn performer/director and owner/producer of PervCity.com, received his first Director of the Year–Body of Work nomination from XBiz Awards, as well as several major AVN Awards category nominations for PervCity, including Best Anal Sex Scene for “Marley Brinx Pushes the Temperature Up to Sizzling”, starring Marley Brinx and Chris Strokes.
XBiz and AVN Nominations
With a career spanning 22 years, Maestro is credited with directing and co-directing over 70 adult films. While he has previously won at the XBiz Awards—most recently, Gonzo Release of the Year for the 2016 BAM Visions title “Annika’s Anal Sluts”, co-directed with Mick Blue—2017 represents the first time he has been nominated by XBiz Awards for the body of his signature directorial achievements.
“I am honored to be nominated for Director of the Year with such an accomplished group of Directors,” said Maestro Claudio.
In a year of exciting firsts, PervCity—Maestro’s flagship website launched in 2014 and feature-length DVD label distributed through Evil Angel—has also been nominated for 7 AVN Awards. Specializing in gonzo titles featuring provocative oral, vaginal, and anal sex, the New Year rings in new recognition for PervCity in 4 categories from the “Oscars” of porn.
“I’ve been working on PervCity for two years; it’s been my passion project, and I am excited that it is being recognized with so many nominations. I’ve put my heart and soul into PervCity, and I hope that it shows.”
Maestro Claudio is thrilled about having received a total of 23 nominations this year, which also include 13 AVN Awards and 2 XBiz Awards nominations for BAM Visions, the production company he co-owns with award-winning adult performer/director Mick Blue.
