Hello again folks,
The WYHM Insider here, with an awesome report. News came today from WYHM President Kevin Wilson, that this great company has officially launched an Anti-Piracy Division.
Here is a statement from Kevin himself.
"Dear friends,
As we all know the internet paved the way for many of us. We work hard, and put in a lot of time doing what we do. However are efforts to produce content of adult nature has seemingly taken a turn that can severely impact our business.
Many have heard of Hollywood movies being leaked on the internet early, or being downloaded illegally. The same fate has come to the music industry. Well make no mistake folks, the same is happening to us.
Hundreds to possibly thousands of our videos are being downloaded through file hosting sites. It is a shame when browsing those site I come across videos that I know my friends have put lots of money into. As a result of this horrid crime being committed against us, I am launching the Wreck Your Head Media Anti-Piracy Division.
If you feel that this violation is impacting you, or is just wrong, Wreck Your Head Media can and will do something about. I have designated a team of employees that will investigate claims of piracy and see that they are removed from these boards.
For only $300 a month WYHM will investigation, and monitor these sites. We will contact the file hosting service providers, and have them removed for copyright infringement. For an additional $25 we will monitor and investigate an additional two sites. The $300 price entitles you to the investigation and monitoring of the main offending sites. For security reasons we will not publicly discuss these sites. For additional information send an email to kw.wreckyourheadmedia@gmail.com
If you feel this service is something you are interested in an intial deposit of $150 is required to begin the investigation, and removal of content. The final $150 is due by the 30th of the first month. After that the full $300 is due the 30th of every month. Reminder emails will be sent out five days before the payment is due. If you hire WYHM to investigate and monitor these offending messages boards, you are under no contractual obligation. You can hire on a month by month basis.
We hope this campaign will help bring an end to this violation of our rights of content providers.
Thank you,
Kevin Wilson
Wreck Your Head Media Inc.
President"
There you have it folks. The Anti-Piracy campaign is officially underway!

An interview with the company President
Hello again folks,
I am happy to say this is probably one of my proudest blog yet. I recently had the opportunity to sit with Wreck Your Head Media President Kevin Wilson. I had the chance to really get into the head of the man that make this company happen. Without any further interruption, I give you the man of the hour...
WYHMedia Insider:
"Let me just start by saying this is an absolute honor for me. My first question would probably be the most obvious, how did this company come about?"
Kevin Wilson:
"And that is a great first question. Well there was never a doubt in my mind that I wanted to own a production company, and I never thought it would be in the fetish film industry. Films, Television, were my life. To this day I can still sit and watch hours of TV, unfortunately my work schedule doesn't grant that leisure.
There is a bit of a story behind how I got to this point. I guess I would have to say my start came from a commercial BDSM dungeon house that took a chance and hired me to edit videos for them. After I parted ways with them I took a regular job that was very slow work wise. I was watching some fetish videos out there, and noticed how bland, and boring most of them work. I called up a friend, and said I want to make movies better then this crap. Two weeks later we had a business license, and were approaching women to shoot with us."
WYHMedia Insider:
"Wow two weeks is fast! After that I bet it was smooth sailing from there."
Kevin Wilson:
"Actually it was probably the worst mistake I made. I rushed to get into the business with almost no startup money. I was able to swing some deals and get some women to shoot with us for content. Had I really sat and thought about things rather then run straight into the fire, I would have probably had less heartache then I did."
WYHMedia Insider:
"I didn't realize that there was heartache in the beginning. Do you mind telling about that?"
Kevin Wilson:
"Well my partner and I were both working regular jobs at the time so we were able to put our personal finances together to keep the company afloat. We were doing okay. I had booked a trip to FetishCon '07 and had the time of my life. At this point my partner had lost his job, and 24 hours after returning from the con, I lost my job. It wasn't because of the trip. My boss was unable to keep me employed anymore. It was a major blow to us (my partner and I). We managed to keep things going for like another three months. My partner was having personal issues, and asked to leave the company. We parted ways in a very friendly manner. He's still a good friend, and still helps out the company from time to time.
I went back to trying to find regular work, and was having the hardest time. I decided to put my talents to use and put the company on hold. I began doing editing, and filming for other companies. That proved to be a big big help."
WYHMedia Insider:
"That's an inspiring story. You seem to never want to give up."
Kevin Wilson:
"I never wanted to. I just couldn't afford to run it. I was doing work for other people while Wreck Your Head Media was slowly drifting away. My fear was that people would say 'Wreck Who?' I knew I wouldn't let it go. However I needed to make ends meet. It was probably the best decision to do freelance work."
WYHMedia Insider:
"What made you put WYHMedia as your made focus again?"
Kevin Wilson:
"New York was hit with a string of police raids on commercial BDSM dungeons. I knew many prominent Dommes in the area who were nervous about their future. Some went stayed away from the BDSM scene, while others outright quit. It was a very scary time. I decided it was time to try to maybe help some of these women. So I began send out emails and offer content exchange or whatever I could think of. I just wanted to get them some content to put out there and make money. It actually helped me realize the promotional route I wanted to go.
My efforts didn't go unnoticed, and it landed me several other editing jobs, but no one was doing anything for free. I learned that very quickly, and I understood. These women no longer had a place to play in, they had no security. The raids were a huge blow to the NYC BDSM community moral. Parties were few and far between. It was just a bad time to try to get back into the business."
WYHMedia Insider:
"You mention your promotional route. What is that all about?"
Kevin Wilson:
"I'm glad you asked. Promotion is so key to succeeding in this business. You may have noticed that I promote several other companies, like SheFights.net, and Clubdom. The reason I do this is because I want to build a network of companies who can, and are willing to help each other. Let's face it, these are rough economic times. To be in any business only for yourself is pretty selfish. I always pride myself on my caring nature. I want to help people. If they are willing to help me, why not return the favor. Lady Cheyenne of Clubdom, has been a huge help to me, so throwing an link, or banner on our clips store is the least I can do.
There have been several people who have been in this business only for themselves. Those people are either struggling, or are no longer around. Its just not the way to run a business."
WYHMedia:
"Care to mention any names of those people?"
Kevin Wilson:
"That's not my style. I don't blacklist anyone. What good would come of that? My hope is that those who have done shady business, or are underhanded will grow, and learn not to be that way, and when they do, I will be more then happy to have them join my promotional network."
WYHMedia:
"You have a very active part in this company. Why not just sit back and let others do the work?"
Kevin Wilson:
"Ha! I really should those 16-17 hour days are killing me, and my hairline! In all seriousness I'm too much of a creative person to let others do the job right. I'm always trying to find ways to improve whether its editing, lighting, sound, whatever. There is always room for improvement.
That was one of the reasons my partner left the company. I wanted to continue doing the editing myself, and he felt he couldn't be as helpful to the company as he wanted. As far as shooting goes, I usually film because there are several people I would trust to do it the way I like. I'm a horrible perfectionist haha!"
WYHMedia Insider:
"What are some future plans for this great company?"
Kevin Wilson:
"There are several ideas floating around in my head. I have some ideas for full features in mind. I'd like to maybe see a new website within the next coming months, but no official plans for it yet. It looks like their might be some collaborations with Shefights in the next month, again nothing is set in stone. When things become official you will be the first person to know about it."
WYHMedia Insider:
"Excellent I look forward to it. One more question before you get back to your busy schedule. Is there anything you'd like to say to our fans?"
Kevin Wilson:
"I would like to say thank you! Thank you for your continued support. Each and every one of your plays an important role in keeping this company alive. I also want to take this opportunity to thank EVERY one of our models, past, and present. Without your participation this company would have faded away, and for that I am eternally grateful for."
WYHMedia:
"What a great way to end this interview. Thank you for taking this time to chat with me!"
Kevin Wilson:
"Thank you for inviting me. It was a lot of fun."
There you have it folks. I was shocked when Kevin agreed to do this interview. I didn't think I stood a chance in hell at getting him to do this. I am thankful that he did. I hope you all enjoyed it too. I am trying to set up some more interviews. Hopefully Kevin likes this interview and approves me for more hehe. Well for now folks, I will bid you adue.

Hello again folks,
Wreck Your Head Media Insider reporting here. I am pleased to officially announce the release of the final clip in the P.O.V. Perversion series, CBT Sadist. The video was to be released yesterday evening, but due to some software conflicts that didn't happen. For that I've been told it will be priced lower for 48 hours to make up for the trouble. It will be sold for $6.99 with the actual run time being 7 minutes and 33 seconds. Here is a snapshot from that video...
In other company news, our crew recently wrapped up another shoot with NYC's Petite Dynamite Mistress Varla. As is with her other videos this one is sure to not disappoint. Below are a few snapshots from the shoot. I've been told that this video may become a series depending on audience reception. So if you enjoy this video feel free to leave a comment here.
I have just been told that I am scheduled to make another post within the next two days, and that this post will feature a 30 second trailer to Interrogation Whipping. Be sure to check back for that. The Wreck Your Head Media President is said to be in talks with a few other ladies for future shoots. For now nothing is concrete but I will be sure to keep you posted when and if these talks pan into features. For now I will leave you to enjoy the snapshots from the sure classic "Interrogation Whipping"
Also be sure to check out Mistress Varla over at SheFights clips store!

New Content on the way!
Evenin folks,
Well as I may (or may not have mentioned) in the previous post. We at Wreck Your Head Media are working extremely hard to bring you some new content. We have been shooting with some talented ladies who know how to kick ass, and not always take names, haha!
While the ideas for Wreck Your Head Media are completely limitless the funds and technology sometimes are. We are working towards improving many things and providing more of an inside look at the workings of this company. We plan to provide ways for more of an interaction whether it be live shoots, or live video discussions, the possiblities are endless. What I can promise you, is that the efforts made by upper management here, will not be in vain. I am told by owner Kevin W. that we are slowly entering a new phase. It is a phase that has been planned since the company's inception in 2007.
Wreck Your Head Media has had its up's and down's in its two years of business. The company never closed, or stopped working. Work had gone elsewhere for awhile, and I've been assured that we have yet to see the best of what has been in store since the beginning.
So, on that note, the new content brings us some great Mistresses. Some of New Yorks finest sexy sadists have been hard at work. These ladies will be appearing in many upcoming releases and we are proud, and honored to have them working with us at this time. The first new release should be coming by weeks end. Currently we are awaiting final approval by Kevin W. Once the approval is granted, I will post some shots taken during the shoot.
With some much going on I, myself am anxious to reveal these photos and the many more snapshots from the newest stuff. I look forward to seeing the progression of this company. For now I will leave you waiting (sadistic I know), till then keep your heads up and let the Wrecking begin!

First Blog and reason behind it
Yes this is my first blog for Wreck Your Head Media's Confessional. Well Wreck Your Head Media is a primarily Fetish oriented video company...Our interests expand beyond just that.
So enough jibber jabber....let's get to the point.
First off this blog is outside the realm of anything fetish. As a media company, and a self published author I find myself often wanting to comment, and review films. So that is what I am doing. Hollywood is my passion, and films are where my heart lies. Therefore when a good movie comes along I find myself wanting to express my opinions of it to the world. So here I am.
The movie in question tonight happens to be "Terminator Salvation". While its release date is a little less then a week away I have to say I'm stoked about this movie. Terminator Salvation is the fourth installment of James Cameron's hit franchise "Terminator" which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, and the incomparable Michael Biehn. Terminator Salvation is the first of a planned trilogy directed by McG. To be 100% honest with you all, I am not familiar with his works. However judging what I have seen from the trailers, and cast commentaries this will be a hit!
I have been a "Terminator" fan since I was a kid. After "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" I will admit to being extremely bummed that now the story was over. That was until I found about the production of "Terminator Salvation" which now stars Christian Bale as John Connor, Bryce Dallas Howard as Kate Brewster Connor, and Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese.
From what I am hearing about the story it seems as if it is taking elements from "Terminator Sarah Conor Chronicles" which air Fridays on Fox. If that is the case this movie is bound to be a huge bonus for die hard "Terminator" fans. "Sarah Conor Chronicles" deals with Skynet using humans to learn to be more human like. Now I don't know if this was done intentionally (although I'm pretty sure it had to have been). I like this idea.
I myself have always envisioned the endless possibilities of what-if's that could take place in the Terminator series. The cast of the new movie I think will prove flawless. Christian Bale is a phenominal actor with huge blockbusters under his belt, mainly the re-launch of the Batman franchise. If anyone could pull of a complex role of tormented human resistance leader John Conor, Bale is the man. Nick Stahl's performance as Conor left me wanting desperation from the character, whereas Edward Furlong's teenage John Conor was just unbearable...sorry Edward.
Bryce Dallas Howard takes on the role of Kate Brewster Conor. Kate who was only introduced in T3 was previously portrayed by Claire Daines who honestly...should just stick to doing Shakespeare. Daines portrayal was weak. She was a whiny unsympathic character. I don't know if that was the way she was supposed to be written or what, but I wasn't intrigued by the character of Kate Brewster. Bryce on the other hand could be a different story. Bryce Dallas Howard who starred opposite Tobey Maquire in Spiderman 3 has a difficult task in front of her. She is left having to improve and revive of boring character who throughout T3 just didn't seem to fit into the story, until just about the end of that film. Bryce will now play a central role as John Conor's wife. Again judging by the clips that I've seen all the wrong done by Daines portrayal may in fact have been remedied.
Anton Yelchin has the daunting task of playing an important role in the Terminator series. For the first time since the original Terminator film Kyle Reese is seen again. Michael Biehn who previously played Kyle played him with true passion, and heart, as the rugged soldier sent through time to ensure the survival of the great John Conor. I for one am particularily excited to see if Yelchin can take the torch from Biehn.
Despite the cast, the story itself seems super solid. With less then a week away before its theater debut, the anticipation of this film is definitely a summer highlight. McG and crew have a huge army to battle, and I'm not talking machines. I'm talking about some huge blockbusters like, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (a review of that will come soon), Star Trek, and Howard's own fathers blockbuster Angels and Demons. I for one will be at the midnight showing of Terminator Salvation, so until then...."I'll be back!"
So enough jibber jabber....let's get to the point.

Anton Yelchin has the daunting task of playing an important role in the Terminator series. For the first time since the original Terminator film Kyle Reese is seen again. Michael Biehn who previously played Kyle played him with true passion, and heart, as the rugged soldier sent through time to ensure the survival of the great John Conor. I for one am particularily excited to see if Yelchin can take the torch from Biehn.
Despite the cast, the story itself seems super solid. With less then a week away before its theater debut, the anticipation of this film is definitely a summer highlight. McG and crew have a huge army to battle, and I'm not talking machines. I'm talking about some huge blockbusters like, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (a review of that will come soon), Star Trek, and Howard's own fathers blockbuster Angels and Demons. I for one will be at the midnight showing of Terminator Salvation, so until then...."I'll be back!"
