PATRICK COLLINS NAMES AXEL BRAUN AS GENERAL MANAGER OF ELEGANT ANGEL.
Patrick Collins, owner of Elegant Angel Productions, has just
announced that AXEL BRAUN will be acting as the new General Manager
of the company.
Collins, who for several years had been focusing mainly on directing
and pursuing his musical interests, came back full-time to the
company in June of 2002 and took over the daily operations because he
felt the company needed a more hands-on approach. Though being
pleased with the results of his hard work, Collins feels that he
needs to work more closely with the productions while Braun helms the
organizational and managerial aspects of the operation for the true
potential for the company to be realized. During the past several
months, Collins had been searching for someone that was adept in
productivity and communication. He found that person in Braun, and
has chosen him because of his ability to motivate employees as well
as having excellent organizational skills.
From Collins… “I feel we currently have the best stable of
directors in our company’s history. To fully realize our potential in
this area we need an individual that understands all aspects of
production, and can work directly with me on a daily basis. I have
great confidence that Axel is the right choice. In the six months he
spent here as an exclusive contract director he has proven to me his
integrity, reliability, and loyalty. He has a tremendous amount of
management experience, having operated his own production business
for the past several years, as well as
invaluable experience in all areas of the adult industry, where he
was literally born. He is organized, dependable, driven, and has a
great eye for detail. I couldn’t have made a better choice.”
Collins will continue being hands-on in his company, but this new
system will help to better direct the focus of Elegant Angel to
position it for long-term growth while at the same time allowing him
to do more of his own productions.
Axel Braun is the son of legendary pornographer Lasse Braun. Growing
up in this environment sparked an interest in the adult entertainment
world, as well as an interest in human nature. Axel grew up in
Italy, where he majored in psychology in college, then, in the late
80’s moved to Hollywood to attend film school. Working with his
father as an assistant director, writer, producer, cameraman, and
editor, Axel gained knowledge in every aspect of the
business.
In 1995 Axel founded his own independent production company: “Axel
Braun Productions”. His first movie, “The Erotic Adventures of the
G-Man”, was the first installment of a series which was hugely
successful throughout Europe. In this series, Axel displayed his
fondness for what later became his signature fetish: Female
Ejaculation.
After several other movies that were well received and often
critically acclaimed in Europe, Axel continued producing his own
titles and selling the rights to various companies, before signing an
exclusive directing deal with Elegant Angel in June of 2002. While
his new position will not allow him to shoot as much as before, he
will continue to direct the new hit series “The Squirting Adventures
of Dr. G”. Axel, who has fully explored the subject of female
squirting, has also recently insured his hands with the Lloyds of
London for $2,000,000 each. For more detailed information,

Axel has this to say about his new position and future with the
company, “I see this as a major step up in my professional life, and
I know I can make a difference and bring something new to the
company. I have known Patrick Collins for quite a while, and I have a
great deal of respect for him. He is not only an inspiration and a
mentor, but also a true friend. My plan is very detailed, and the
changes that I am implementing will allow us to increase productivity
while at the same time maintaining the quality of content for which
Elegant Angel is recognized. I will be concentrating on opening up
new markets in cable and satellite, as well as working closely with
Robert S. Connett, director of Operations for Elegant Angel
Interactive.
