Mile High Media announced the return of director Nica Noelle, who is teaming with the company to launch new gay romance studio, Icon Male. Written and directed by Noelle, Icon Male will feature variations on the director’s renowned style of filmmaking.

“We are very pleased to have Nica once again working with us,” said Jon Blitt, vice president of Mile High Media. “She is a mastermind at her craft and creates gay and straight erotica like no other. There is no one else we would team with to launch our gay romance line.”

Noelle also released s statement that hints at her personal approach to creating memorable films.

“Passion, intimacy, real body language, these are universal indicators of great sex,” explained Noelle. “I’ve also stuck to my formula of putting ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. My characters aren’t exotic or avant-garde; they’re everyday men facing everyday temptations.”

Noelle recently wrapped “Forgive Me Father,” starring Ty Roderick, which will be the debut release from Icon Male. “Forgive Me Father” is slated to hit stores mid July.

“In this series, parishioners go into the confessional booth seeking forgiveness, and as they confess we revisit the sins they’ve committed. I grew up very Catholic, and I’ve been to confession quite a bit, so I make it as authentic as possible,” adds Noelle.

According to the company, movies from Icon Male will be unique to the gay marketplace and embody what fans have come to expect from Nica Noelle and Mile High Media, “genuine and intimate exchanges between performers.”

Other Icon Male series slated to release include WWII period piece “Prisoners of War”, “Men Seeking Men”, and “Forbidden Encounters”.
