LOS ANGELES, CA – Global adult entertainment innovator Wicked Pictures is pleased to announce the release of the story-driven adult drama Insomnia from veteranfilmmaker, writer, and photographer Hank Hoffman. Starring Mona Wales and Chanel Preston, this perceptive and emotionally complex couples feature is now in stores on DVD and available for viewing online at wicked.com.

Hoffman’s latest effort as a triple-threat scenarist, cinematographer, and director tells the story of Piper Valentine (Wales), an introspective thirtysomething who has lost everything: her husband cheated, her company has gone bankrupt and without either, her sense of self and the life she had grown accustomed to are gone. Leaving everything behind, she goes on the road and develops insomnia, her life turning into a waking dream. Endless driving, lonesome highways, seedy motels and chance encounters become the norm as one day blurs into the next. Yet when she meets the handsome Terry, something changes. He’s sweet-natured toward her, and the sex has a tenderness she’s never encountered in a one-night stand.

At a critical point in their relationship, she discovers he’s a drug dealer, yet agrees against her better judgment to run an errand for him. Arriving at her destination, she immediately realizes it’s a meth lab, and after spending the night with cooks Phil and Faith, awakens to find herself stranded. When she doesn’t return that morning, Terry and his business partner January race to find her, and although January thinks Piper is better off dead, Terry gives her a handful of cash…and just maybe a way to stop running from herself.

Replete with rich and varied sex scenes which enhance the storyline, Insomnia finds Wales delivering a poignant, psychologically-informed performance as a woman who but for a quirk of fate finds herself up against a wall with very few alternatives. With this story arc in place, Hoffman’s film then follows how she overcomes those options, drawing on her own inner strength to fuel her quest to not just survive, but thrive.

Mona Wales is joined on her erotic journey by adult superstar and sex worker advocate Chanel Preston, and a first-rate supporting cast featuring Ryan Driller, Jenna Sativa, Eden Sin, Tyler Nixon, Moka Mora, Derrick Pierce, and Jay Smooth.

Shot and edited in 16×9 HD, the Insomnia DVD delivers the charismatic performances, inventive camerawork and intense eroticism Wicked’s fans have come to expect and demand. In addition to the feature, this new DVD boasts no less than three bonus sex scenes, hardcore still galleries, XXX trailers, and other content exclusive to the physical release.

ABOUT WICKED PICTURES

Established in Canoga Park, California in March 1993, Wicked Pictures was formed with a firm commitment to producing quality adult productions created specifically for women and couples, a decision the company has stayed true to for over twenty-three years, even when this mission has seemed at odds with prevailing economic trends. And after a health scare in 1998 led many companies to begin instituting policies of mandatory condom usage, Wicked is the only producer still safeguarding performers’ health by continuing to adhere to this policy over seventeen years later. Wicked continues to diversify and expand its commitment to couples’ intimacy through such initiatives as the romance-driven Wicked Passions label, the AVN / XBIZ award-winning franchises Wicked Comix and Wicked Fairy Tales, the award-winning educational series jessica drake’s Guide to Wicked Sex, and the Wicked Sensual Care line of luxurious lubricants and enhancers. These forward-thinking ventures allow Wicked to explore new ground while staying true to its core vision of producing quality adult entertainment and strengthening its appeal to women and couples.
