Third World Media

Founded in 1999 by Steve Scott and veteran director Ed Hunter, Third World Media is recognized in the adult industry as one of the first producers of wall-to-wall entertainment featuring authentic ethnic performers exclusively from outside of the United States.

Company History

The company, initially named Asian Eyes Pictures, placed an emphasis on Japanese hardcore content in its early years. As the company grew, it expanded its production to Southeast Asia and South America. In late 2006, Third World Media added Katana, a high-end Japanese lineup featuring popular Japanese AV stars and scripted, subtitled story lines. [ X, Nelson: "Third World Media: First Rate Entertainment," August 2007, pg. 144. ]

The motto of the company is to "bring our consumers the best XXX authentic ethnic action from every corner of the earth" and it receives consistent positive reviews among the adult press and web sites. Third World Media considers "Pretty Little Asians" its flagship series for the titles it produces in the Far East, and the "Teen Brazil" and "Shemale Samba Mania" lines as its top content coming from South America.

Scott, a fluent Japanese speaker, credits the growth of his company to his extensive travels in Asia. When Third World Media entered the adult market, the Japanese product entering the U.S. market was produced for the Japanese domestic market, where penetration is blurred, or "mosaiced" to conform with their laws. Third World Media produces movies for distribution outside Japan, and its hardcore products are shot without mosaics.

Like the company's Asian titles, its Latin titles are also produced to be sold primarily in the American market. Third World Media's veteran in-house director Ed Hunter makes frequent travels to South America to find performers who've never been seen by American audiences.
