Evil Angel released Brian Pumper from his distribution contract with the company earlier this week. The powerhouse production company initially cited "creative differences."
Pumper began releasing his B. Pumper Productions films through Evil Angel in July 2008. Thus far, he's produced 16 titles.
Tricia Devereaux (Evil Angel publicist): "Brian's movies sold well at Evil Angel. He has a very go-ahead approach to making movies, and we're sure that will help him tremendously in his future endeavors. We wish him nothing but the best."
After several media inquiries, Evil Angel released more information regarding their dismissal of Brian Pumper. Devereaux confirmed that Pumper "played fast and loose" with STD testing requirements on three separate occasions. On two of three cited instances, the female performers' STD tests hadn't come back before the scenes were shot. In a third instance (which led to Pumper's dismissal), the starlet had not tested prior to shooting a scene with Pumper. A post-scene test revealed that she was positive for chlamydia. In all three cases, it was Pumper who worked with the female performers in question. Pumper told Evil Angel that he didn't necessarily put anyone else at risk.
Tricia Devereaux: "A stance we just absolutely did not agree with. Essentially, the creative differences statement we made yesterday is the start of why we had to release Brian. Evil Angel has a very strict testing policy. Due to Brian shooting some newer girls, a few hadn't had their gonorrhea or chlamydia tests back yet. Even though we require a clean test for those two plus HIV as a minimum, he didn't agree that that was necessary and would slip up. We reminded him that a test that hadn't come back yet is not a negative test. We discussed this with him and reiterated our testing policy a few times. It seemed like it was understood. But after repeated discussions and him not adhering to our testing mandates, we decided we couldn't work together going forward."
Pumper maintains that what Evil Angel has said is not true.
Brian Pumper: "That's not true about the testing. And yes, it's true that we had creative differences. Simple, that's it. That's all."
Pumper's last movie released through Evil Angel was the recently-released Latin Butthole Stretchers.
