Vivid Inks 7 Year Deal with Tera Patrick
LOS ANGELES, CA — Industry-leading adult film production company Vivid Entertainment has signed a 7 year contract with megastar Tera Patrick and her company TeraVision, Vivid announced on Monday.According to a company press release, the deal grants Vivid exclusive distribution rights in North America to all movies produced by TeraVision, including films starring Patrick and any actresses signed by TeraVision to exclusive contracts. A minimum of four movies per year is expected to be released under the pact.
“Tera has met and surpassed every expectation we had for her,” said Steven Hirsch, co-founder/co-chairman of Vivid. “Her films Tera, Tera, Tera, Reign of Tera and Collision Course are all top sellers.”
“I am absolutely ecstatic to have Vivid as a sister to TeraVision,” Patrick said. “As a woman executive in this business, it’s a glamorous honor to be a ‘Vivid Girl for Life.’ Our track record in the first two years together of having three number one movies is an indication of how well our companies work together.”
Patrick is the only model to ever appear on the covers of Playboy and Penthouse simultaneously and she appears frequently in both FHM and Stuff magazines. Earlier this year, FHM magazine in the U.K. announced that it was launching a regular monthly sex advice column written by Patrick and she was the subject of a day-in-the-life feature in FHM’s September issue in the U.S.
Patrick has recently appeared several times on VH-1 and was featured earlier this year on VH-1’s special “The Hottest Girlfriends and Wives of Rock Stars” (Partick is married to Evan Seinfeld, front man of the rock group Biohazard, and the actor who played “Jazz Hoyt” on the HBO dramatic series Oz).
TeraVision currently has exclusive contracts with stars Nikki Benz and Lucy Lee, and plans on signing additional actresses in the coming year, according to the Vivid release.
