YNOT – Gay adult performer Paul Wagner has been named director of casting and production at Montreal-based Next Door Studios. The popular performer, a fixture in gay adult productions for the past four years, previously worked with Next Door as a model.

Next Door President Stephan Sirard said Wagner’s experience in front of the camera has given him valuable perspective about content production and studio culture.

“Paul has extensive experience in front of the camera,” Sirard said. “He knows what it takes to make great gay adult content, and we anticipate his leadership will play a pivotal role in our ongoing efforts to produce high-quality entertainment that our fans crave.”

Wagner said the transition comes at a perfect time, as he was ready to move beyond modeling into a position from where he could drive change behind the scenes.

“One of the most valuable assets for a studio is top notch models representing your brand, but it is also very important to have a dedicated crew,” he said. “This combination is what will make or break a studio’s success, and I feel Next Door Studios is well positioned to continue climbing to the top.

“I am very proud to be a part of the success that Stephan and Next Door Studios have already established and look forward to helping us grow in the future,” he added.
