I got the news just a few days ago that we were in high risk, and in fact have lost our distribution. The reason being is the highly competitive niche of the Twink DVD market. I have to agree that we are not set up to battle the giants like Bel Ami® or other big brand name studios, but that has never been our intention. We started setting out with the goal to make porn we liked as a group of highly diversified pornographers. We have proved that with the Keith Manheim website, it retains, sells and competes with large number of websites out there and scores highly on many user review and webmaster written review sites.
We regret that this is happening but as always there are opportunities at every turn and we will surely not stop distribution the Keith Manheim line of DVDs. This year we are set to launch five new titles and are in negotiations with a new distributor that appreciates our artistic values more than our previous company.

This could as well be the first chapter in my self biography as there is allot for me to tell about, about my background, my life, growing up and winding up in this wonderful industry we have all come to love.
I was born in the great year of the Snake in 1976, at the edge of the hippies and the beginning of the mass media and computer age. It was a wonderful time to grow up as a kid during this time, there was (yet) not too much TV and no gaming consoles, and we as kids still plaid outside from time to time. There was of course the momentary insanity from now and then when a new toy hit the market not unlike today when a new computer game hits the stores shelves.
I was in a hurry to grow up, so much that at the age of 18 I started my first porn “empire”, a text based adult website that really made a big impact. Later on, the market evolved and things started to get more serious and hardcore. On the way I partnered up with a genius and later my registered-partner Hauksson (we later got divorced but that’s OK, still best of friends and business partners). Together we founded KM Studios and have been very successful in getting our brand on the web and in the adult stores. We have very ambitious plans for the future and so far things have worked out just as planned.
I started making regular appearances in Prague, Czech republic in 2002 when I went to shoot my first film over there. It took us some time to find a partner to distribute our DVD line world wide but that happened and now we have regular distribution with 4-6 titles released every year. You can check out the studio website if you’re interesting to see what titles are out already and whats coming out soon.
For now I’ll leave this section of my blog and start writing the main posts. You can be sure that if I’m doing something nasty I’ll post about it here, plus back stage stories and stuff like that. Be welcome to bookmark this blog and return often to see the latest posts.
Yours truly,
Keith Manheim
