C1R, founded and also known as Channel 1 Releasing and based in Los Angeles, California, is a major adult film studio and one of the world's largest producers of gay pornography. The studio is co-owned by porn director, Chi Chi LaRue.
C1R launched Chi Chi LaRue's Rascal Video label in 1999 and with a roster of incredible exclusives and a team of talented individuals behind the scenes, Rascal quickly became one of the most successful gay adult entertainment studios in the business with movies like “BOLT” and “Wrong Side of the Tracks” receiving more awards and honors than any other movies of their time.
In 2007, C1R acquired several other studios including Catalina Video and All Worlds Video which included the highly successful military themed line from legendary director Dirk Yates.
C1R and LaRue opened their first company store, Chi Chi LaRue's, in West Hollywood in 2008.
In 2010, Chi Chi LaRue tapped reality television star Steven Daigle of “Big Brother" (Season 10) to star in his first X-rated feature, “Steven Daigle: XXXPosed” bringing more mainstream attention to the studio than ever before.
