The Joint.
“Collectively his work with us garnered in excess of 40
GAYVN nominations and a best picture nod every year. Despite
all the talent that abounds in the gay industry, I don’t

was nominated again this year for his work with HIS video.
He has been making movies for 20 years, holding the in-
house director role for
Vivid and
Metro for many of those.
The yet untitled project will begin shooting on April 19th
for a tentative release date in late July. The film will be
shot in
Florida and Jim Steel has tapped
Fort Lauderdale based
FabScout Entertainment to assist with the casting of
this film. “FabScout is looking forward to working with
Men of Odyssey and Jim Steel on this great
project. With his exceptional expertise in directing
amazing films and our talent pool; we are confident that
this film will become yet another huge hit!” stated
Howard Andrew of FabScout Entertainment. |
