Digital Playground’s “Babysitters” wins 4 Empire Awards

February 27, 2008 — VAN NUYS, Calif. — Leading adult entertainment studio, Digital Playground today announced industry accolades with four (4) awards from Adult DVD Empire. “Babysitters” secured prestigious wins for Best HD DVD; Best DVD Video Quality; Best DVD Audio Quality and Best DVD Menu Design.

The winners were voted for by the Adult DVD Empire staff, select employees of Adult DVD Empire, Adult DVD Empire in-house reviewers, select adult DVD reviewers across the Internet, as well as select notable adult industry figures. The only exception to the above is the Viewer’s Choice Award, which anyone who visits the Empire Awards site can vote for; and the Editor’s Choice Award, which is the only award to be selected by a single individual, in this case Adult DVD Empire’s Editorial Director, Shannon Nutt.

Samantha Lewis, Digital Playground CEO comments, “‘Babysitters’ is a fun, playful and sexy feature that keeps on pleasing. Robby D’s mastery of high definition filmmaking, fused together with a brilliant cast and Digital Playground’s high production standards and superior DVD authoring, has afforded us an award-winning presentation and a top-selling title. I would like to thank Jeff Rix, Adult DVD Empire and its staff for their continued support and recognition.”

Shannon Nutt, Editorial Director at Adult DVD Empire.com says, “Digital Playground dominated the technical categories this year, proving that when it comes to a great A/V transfer or supplemental materials, they’re still the best in the business. It’s perhaps no surprise that ‘Babysitters’ also won the first-ever high definition Empire Award for Best HD DVD. Digital’s history of shooting material in HD is really going to pay off in the coming months and years, now that all those titles are being released in true hi-def. They really have established an edge over the competition where HD is concerned.”

“Babysitters” is a full-length adult feature that delivers an unsurpassed High Definition experience. Vibrantly shot and crafted specifically for the HD market, the award-winning film features Digital Playground Contract Stars, Jesse Jane® and Shay Jordan(TM), and includes performances by Teagan Presley, Sophia Santi(TM), Nikki Benz, Sasha Grey, Gina Lynn and Nautica Thorn. The 2007 film was directed by Robby D. (”Jack’s Playground,” “Ass Addiction,” “Naked Aces”), and produced by Digital Playground’s celebrated production duo, Sam and Joone (”Pirates,” “Island Fever”).
