For Immediate Release: December 12th, 2024
(HOLLYWOOD, CA) Controversial adult industry figure Vic Lagina(viclagina.com) has earned a 2025 AVN Awards nomination for his captivating book, Filthy! The Rise and (Pending) Death of Vic Lagina, in the Mainstream Venture of the Year category. This nomination celebrates Lagina’s bold transition from producer and director to author, chronicling his bizarre existence of a 20-year porn career and its aftermath.
“It’s an honor to be nominated amongst such wonderful and talented people and to share the stage during the industry’s most prestigious event,” said Lagina. “I am under no illusion that I will win this award as I am not as popular nor beautiful as Angela White, nor do I have the social following and notoriety of Stormy Daniels. Unfortunate, because my acceptance speech would be memorable. While this is not my first nomination, I am grateful to be noticed outside of the Porn Monopoly’s shadow in an achievement I can call my own.”
Between 2004 and 2020, Vic Lagina was a prominent producer, director, and camera operator for Brazzers/Mindgeek. Over his entire career, he produced an impressive 3,792 scenes for top-tier brands, including Brazzers, Mofos, Wicked, Babes, and Digital Playground. Lagina worked with over 1,500 performers, orchestrating up to 35 scenes per month with live productions featuring icons such as Nikki Benz, Phoenix Marie, and Shyla Stylez.
Filthy! offers a candid and revealing look into Lagina’s career highs and challenges, with the Print/Kindle edition available exclusively on Amazon (www.amazon.com/Filthy-Rise-Pending-Death-Lagina/dp/B0CKKQC8V1) and an audiobook (narrated by Lagina himself) available on Spotify and Apple Books, with Audible coming soon. VicLagina.com includes a trailer for the book starring Hollywood Icon James Duval (Donnie Darko), Jennifer White, London Rose, Tommy Gunn, Will Pounder, Hazel Moore, and Marcus London.

A book about a pornographer getting an AVN award nomination isn’t exactly surprising. While the “salaciously true story” angle might attract some readers, “rise and (pending) death” feels a bit much – like they’re trying too hard to create drama. I’m curious to see if the book offers anything beyond the typical industry tell-all.
