CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Centaur Films President, Chip Daniels, announced that legendary adult video star and GayVN nominated director Chris Steele has joined Centaur as its Vice President of West Coast Productions.

"I'm very happy to take on such an important position with my all time favorite studio," Steele said. "The first studio I ever applied for as a model was Centaur Films because I have always loved Chip Daniels movies. Time Cops and Marine Crucible are two of my all time favorites."

Chris's directorial debut was mega-blockbuster Taking Flight which brought him a GayVN nod for Best Director. His directing credits include Cross Country, Spokes III, From Top to Bottom, The Velvet Mafia, Riding Hard and the much anticipated Farmer's Son. Chris has a reputation for directing very popular videos, finding great talent and getting strict tops to bottom.
