The trajectory for Canadian-born Brad Armstrong's career was initially determined while he was still in college, where he majored in commercial art and advertising. He soon began his adventures in production while simultaneously establishing himself as one of the adult industry's most in-demand performers. After self-financing his first film effort, he met Wicked Pictures President Steve Orenstein at the East Coast Video Show. Impressed with the new filmmaker's talent and vision, Orenstein signed the director to an exclusive contract in 1996. Since then, Armstrong has created many of Wicked's best and biggest features.In his first years with the company, Armstrong made it apparent that he was the director to watch. Titles like "Flashpoint" and "Conquest" consistently received high acclaim and numerous award nominations. In 2001, Armstrong's classic "Dream Quest" won many awards, including DVD of the Year from both the VSDA and the XRCO. The following year, "Euphoria" ruled both the 2002 AVN Awards and Adam Film World Awards, winning Best Feature and Best Director. Armstrong's acclaimed film "Euphoria" swept the AVN awards in 2002 and won Video of the Year at the 2002 XRCO Awards. In 2004, Armstrong extended his filmic repertoire, and his first comedic endeavor, "Fluff and Fold," was nominated for eleven AVN awards. The 2005 AVN Awards saw Armstrong's "The Collector" winning both Best Art Direction and Best Screenplay. Armstrong has continued to produce shot-on-film features, while simultaneously exhibiting his ever-evolving artistry through solid narrative, award-winning acting, and overarching visual elegance.With the release of his 2006 AVN Award Winner "Eternity," actor/director/writer Brad Armstrong's career reached another plateau of commercial and artistic excellence. Longtime fans and critics were rewarded with the visual flair and elegant sensuality associated with his earlier triumphs wedded with an intricately written screenplay that revealed remarkable growth in Armstrong's development as a storyteller. In the spring in 2006, Armstrong scored his next round of critical acclaim with the adventure epic "The Curse Eternal." In addition to winning rave reviews, the project also proved to be an out-of-the-gate hit in terms of sales. By June, the continued sales strength of this haunting supernatural feature earned it a coveted "Buyers' Choice" certification from the noted news authority and adult webmaster resource XBiz. Armstrong is throwing himself into what may well be two of Wicked's biggest showings in 2006, the highly stylized and erotic "FUCK" and the explosive shot-on-film thriller "Manhunters."A uniquely gifted visual stylist with a complete mastery of his storytelling skills, Brad Armstrong shines among his contemporaries in his ability to combine photographic elegance with smoldering sensuality and dynamic narratives.
