Jan Novak (director)

Jan Novak is a Czech director and producer of gay pornographic films.

Career

Novak's career began while shooting with his camera as a hobby, and befriended William Higgins in the early 1990s. Novak soon opened a gay club in Prague, followed by a gay sex shop and mail order business - and then he began publishing his first gay erotic magazines in the Czech Republic.

Soon, a friend convinced him to create his own photo production company, and Lukas Studios was born to give Novak's photography an outlet. His work caught the eye of Higgins's friend, George Mavety - owner of Mavety Media Group. Novak saw his pictures in the pages of "Playguy", "Honcho", "Torso", "Mandate", and "Inches".

Novak initially resisted offers to produce videos... until the day he got a fax from Studio 2000 producers John Travis and Scott Masters, who asked him to come to the United States.

He was nominated for a GayVN Award and won a Grabby ("Winning Ways" took the 2001 award for Best International Video [http://www.media-imdb.com/Sections/Awards/Grabby_Awards/2001] ), and he continued working with Studio 2000 for two years to develop its international line with titles like "Good and Bad", "Strokes to Seduction", "Criminal Intent", and "The Back Room". Novak's photography experience helped him compose films and he was hired as managing director of Bel Ami Prague office when his Studio 2000 stint was up.

In the spring of 2004, Novak left Bel Ami and established Bubble B Entertainment, with "Alluring Cumback" its first release. [http://www.avn.com/index.cfm?objectID=F7836D5E-0710-850B-A8062829C04032E2&slid=387774]
