( LOS ANGELES, CA ) — As the calendar turns the page for the final time in 2015, the weather is getting frosty, the malls are getting crowded, the holiday decorations are all in place and in Porn Valley it’s nomination season again. It has been another successful one for the team at Mike John Video. The 2016 AVN Awards Nominations recognized MJV and director Tim von Swine for outstanding smut-making and excellence in the POV genre.

Mike John Video landed a trio of nominations this year. The twelfth and latest episode of the wildly popular series Jerkoff Material series was named in the Best Gonzo Movie category. Jerkoff Material 12 won over fans and critics alike with an all-star cast including Dahlia Sky, Noelle Easton, Karlee Grey and blonde bombshell AJ Applegate.

‘We are really proud of how Jerkoff Material 12 came together,” says director Tim von Swine. “It’s a series we always put a lot of effort into so that the fans can have a lot of old fashioned gonzo variety, without getting too far away from a real ‘meat & potatoes’ brand of porno for the strokers.  You have Dahlia throwing down a hot & filthy 3 on 1 group scene with combination creamy blasts on her face & in her mouth. Yhivi was brand new and I just loved her exotic look so the blowbang was, of course, followed by a POV romp. There was no way she was slipping through my greasy fingers. A.J. Applegate & Erik Everhard reminded all of us how hot a non-stop boy/girl scene could be and basically made me feel like it was 2004 all over again!  And the POV pairing of naturally big titted bombshells Karlee Grey & Noelle Easton is sure to make many boob lovers all-time fave list.”

Continuing their traditional excellence in the POV field, MJP and von Swine landed a pair of scenes on the Best POV Scene list. Von Swine’s scene from Jerkoff Material 12 with busty starlets Noelle Eason and Karlee Grey made the cut. After over a decade in the business and countless POV scenes, this one was a first for von Swine.

“Believe it or not after all these years of POV pork-vending, this WAS my first 2 girl POV experience,” states the star of the nominated action. “And even though I was totally intimidated going up against these two gorgeous gals with ridiculous racks, it was their chemistry between each other that helped me find my zone and be able to capture something volcanic. I’m very proud the fine folks at AVN could see the sparks flying between all 3 performers and gave us this nomination.”

Von Swine was also behind and in front of the camera for Mike John Video’s other POV scene nomination. This one, from the award-winning POV Pervert series stars the incredible Vicki Chase. The scene was a highlight from POV Pervert 18 and another scene that von Swine remembers fondly.

“I spoke with Vicki briefly in January at AVN and knew we had to do a POV scene together since she just oozed sex & confidence. Once I had her on set I knew that our scene had potential to be an instant classic as she loves the camera almost as much as she loves filthy sex. To me, it’s a perfect POV scene front-back due to her energy & beauty, & dynamic with the camera. There are not nearly enough gals like Vicki in this world.”

The 3 AVN Nominations for Mike John Productions helped add to the impressive total earned by Jules Jordan Video which has distributed MJP since 2006.

“It has been another great year,” adds Mike John. “After last year, with Tim’s Hall of Fame induction, we just kept the train rolling. We make porn for good old fashioned perverts. Tim knows what the fans want to see and he keeps creating great stuff with a lot of help from super hot women.”
