Bel Ami is a gay pornographic film company with offices in Bratislava, Prague and Budapest. It was established in 1993 by filmmaker George Duroy[1], a Slovak native who took his pseudonym from the protagonist Georges Duroy in Guy de Maupassant's novel Bel Ami. In addition to hardcore DVDs, Bel Ami also produces calendars and photo books, such Howard Roffman's The Boys of Bel Ami (2006)[2], and its performers are frequent headliners at nightclubs and similar venues around Europe, the United States and elsewhere.[3]
Bel Ami has employed hundreds of actors over its history. Notable performers include Sebastian Bonnet, Kris Evans, Kevin Warhol, Luke Hamill, Tim Hamilton, Josh Elliot, Tommy Hansen, Dolph Lambert, Brandon Manilow, Johan Paulik, Lukas Ridgeston, Ariel Vanean and, more recently, the twins Elijah and Milo Peters, who have performed together in a variety of scenes.[4]
The studio has won numerous adult entertainment awards and nominations. Most recently, Bel Ami earned five 2010 XBIZ Awards citations, including GLBT studio of the year[5], and five nominations at the 2010 GayVN Awards, including best newcomer for Kris Evans. They won the award for best marketing—company image.[6] Company founder George Duroy, as well as marquee performers Lukas Ridgeston and Johan Paulik, have been inducted into the GayVN Awards Hall of Fame.[7]
