The Muscle Mafia reloaded!, Where Have We been?

The Muscle Mafia reloaded!

Answering The Question: Where have ya been?
 

As always shit happens here and the last several months were no exception.

The Short Answer:
For those who may not be interested in the longer story all you need to know is we are here, we been here and we are here to stay.  New releases and site updates are ready to go. I have had to redirect my energies to expanding operations here, filming, meeting potential new guys. The result is that while we are bigger and better and have much more to offer.    So look for your newsletters, blog posts and updates to our websites (
musclematt.com and privatereddoor.com) with announcements.  But prepare yourself, I will probably be making up for lost time so sit back and watch it all happen.

The Long answer:
Everything Happens for a Reason, if you are interested, read on. Summer 2010 was Amazing, the rest of 2010 and going forward to 2011 will be as well. While we have certainly grown we are still just a group of gym buddies on the DL who put our experiences on video.  We rely on your
muscle fund donations as well as sales to keep us going; amateur some might argue, but we run operations as if we have a staff of 40 and deliver our films in the same if not better quality than major production houses.  Matt and I look at and answer every email and handle every order. As an operation mostly run by me and Matt with a few others who phase in and phase out we will continue to change, but one thing will always remain the same and that is that this thing we call The Muscle Mafia is a closely held organization and I am the guy who heads it all. There is only so much Matt and I can do at one time; I have said often when we try to do too much we end up doing too little.  Dedication, focus and getting it done right the first time are how I prefer to work. Behind every able man are other able men; that being Matt, The Crew, and web Eddie our resident tech guru as well as our muscle funds supporters. I don’t take any of that for granted without them I would be just an asshole with a camera holding my own dick.


DVDs 56, 57 and 58 were our last 3 releases and have set new records here in all forms (DVD and online) and are right in line with the success of some of our best-selling movies to date.  That, with your comments on those and the comments to the crew's new photo albums were a great way to set the tone for all the decisions I made in the last few months.
There are more like the last few releases and some even more interesting. Some were a big deal to shoot, others as raw and rough as it comes with just the camera, dashboard light and night vision. Pretty hot stuff.

Over Hauling, Everything Happens for a Reason:
I just love the comments from buyers and fans who have called me the x-rated Walt Disney, others called me Willy Wonka because everything I do is a treat; funny right. Your response to not only our movies but our attention to customer service has inspired a major over-haul for our behind the scenes operations and new ideas for The Muscle Mafia in the years ahead.  Fresh ideas, and investment in the latest in computers (Mac and PC), software, and cameras left us no choice but to stick around.  This answers your questions as to where I have been and why the lag in movie releases.  I have committed certain time and resources to prepare for the future and the continued successful release of our films.
Again, shit happens and this time shit hit the fan so I decided to make much needed changes that were put off.  That decision was prompted by a virus that first slowed down our computers then eventually crashed some.  Along with the virus were some computers that were just pushed to the limit and worked to death. Luckily, I had everything backed up; unfortunately some emails and follow up emails as well as some projects I was working on were lost. So my apologies to anyone who may have thought I was not returning emails.  As you can imagine I wanted to jump to the street below! All in all it could have been much worse; but everything happens for a reason.  Some would see that as unfortunate, I saw it as an opportunity. This kicked off a complete computer and equipment over-haul that has now evolved into construction of a brand new studio / office for the inner circle and inner workings of The Muscle Mafia.  Those who know me best know I do it right or I don’t do it at all, so in an Italian temper tantrum I said “Fuck it, get rid of all of it, dump it and lets do this shit right!  The Muscle Mafia has been in operation since 2001 and online since November 2002. We have made many equipment advances and countless expansions over the years; but technology keeps moving forward.  What was the best 2 years ago is a dinosaur now. So, That along with filming and working with new crew members was my focus this summer.  Certain things personally and professionally had to be put on hold to make things better for you, me and The Crew. 
New HD Video Camera caught Dean in flight with a flock of seaguls. This was during one of his shoots, we were having some fun. Matt during his most recent shoot. We used the blue and purple gels on the lights in the bathroom, and used the underwater light in the tub filled with water. During that same shoot with Matt, he was fully submerged in the tub. This was taken with our underwater camera. Just a test, but it works.

Dumping The Dead Wood, and Refocusing

I have a vision for The Muscle Mafia and realized I have to either change that vision or make some necessary changes to achieve that vision. So I took a few steps back, got rid of some distractions and dead wood which included some people who were not helping me reach my vision.  Their intentions were good, but they talk too much.  I regrouped, refocused and reload. No we can grow for the next 8 -10 years.  I suspect by then I will have to do it all over again, but that’s progress! This means great things! 

So now in addition to the computers, I have bought (and am still buying) new lighting, the latest in HD Video Cameras, software, and editing equipment.  Also some pretty cool accessories that will not only give you the best quality picture but the best sound as well.  Some interesting high-tech features such as night vision and underwater cameras will make their debut in future films. I want to make a public thank you to muscle fund supporters and especially “Rich” a long time loyal supporter who flew here to New York to deliver his muscle fund donations in person.  He was able to meet the crew, hang out with us and even watch a film in the making! I won’t bore you with any more “tech-talk” but trust me its good stuff, you can just about smell us and see the veins throbbing on our hard cocks as we use and abuse cock suckers.
When all is said and done, we can even offer some movies on Blue Ray Disc; pretty fucking cool!  But there was and still is a huge learning curve; remember it’s only me doing the filming, editing, websites, photography, etc. So I am in competition with only myself I don’t concern myself with haters, copycat sites, or muscle mafia wanna-be’s.  I only concern myself with being better than myself, whatever the outcome; it is what it is. 

Judging from your relentless and loyal demand for more of our exclusive movies you like what I / we have done so far, and if so, you’re going to like us even better as all our hard work this summer begins to be seen.   
So, new releases both on DVD and for download are in the works right now, also the introduction of new crew members and other products as well.  Not to mention at least 20- 30 hours, (I don’t know lost count) of unseen video footage that I am pulling from our vaults and getting ready for release.

Next!

We are back, reloaded and better. Next post this week is all about summer 2010, the guys, the movies, situations and some set drama. And after that get set to make some purchases because some of these films both just shot and pulled from the vault are about to drop.

    All you guys are hot as hell and masculine to the max.

    I have to admit that I have been wondering about you. I have missed not reading your posts on the blog and not buying new videos. I am so happy there will be new videos coming soon. I am especially glad and thankful to see that we will have a Matt video sometime in the future. There is nothing like a Matt video because you, Carlo, know exactly how to show Matt and his muscular body at his best.....whether he is getting his magnificent body worshiped, his awesome cock sucked, or he is pounding somebody's ass into submission.......and it always ends in one of those legendary Matt cumshots. I still go back and watch Matt's video's from the past and I go all the way back to the beginning videos......always great camera work and Matt is always Matt, the ultimate Muscle Mafia Stud, as Tina sings, "simply the best' and that goes for both of you. Your camera work, vision and the video product you produce are always the best.
    Carlo, you have recruited some great studs for the muscle mafia in the past so it will be great to see the new recruits you have to show us. I look forward to finding out what you have in store for the members of the muscle mafia those in front of your camera and those of us who watch the end product. You have made the future look bright for all of us. Thanks, Carlo.

    Carlo, couldn't be more excited reading this. Also, I am assuming you are the guy in the photos wearing the green shirt holding the camera (haha).

    Dude even dressed and from behind you are sexy as hell. I can tell you have a hot new york Italian tough guy haircut and your ass looks incredible in the jeans! Don't get me wrong I love seeing you out of the clothes, but even with them on you are sexy as hell. Just wanted to say that. Sexy, good looking smart, great body, talented and a sharp business dude.

    You are perfect!
