Courtney Trouble and her company TROUBLEfilms, known for producing progressive cross-genre porn under queer, feminist, and indie monikers, have been named a finalist nominee for the adult industry’s awards event of the year, the 2014 XBIZ Awards in multiple categories. Courtney Trouble also received a nomination in the brand new AVN Awards category for BBW Performer of the Year, as well as her second Best Web premiere nomination, for the just-released Girl Pile: An Unscripted Lesbian Orgy!

Nominees for the 2014 XBIZ Awards were selected based on a record 5,000 pre-nominations submitted to XBIZ by members of the industry from around the world.
“This is the first year that X Biz has recognized my work, and for that, I am truly grateful,” says Courtney Trouble. “I am incredibly, especially proud of Trans Grrrls: Revolution Porn Style Now as well as Lesbian Curves 2: Hard Femme and I hope they go all the way to the finish line with this one. X Biz has done the queer porn community a great service, giving us this visibility. I can’t wait to come to the event for the very first time, and soak up the love. It’s cheesy and cliche, but this time, it really DOES mean everything to just be nominated. Thank you X Biz.”
On her groundbreaking nomination for AVN’s first-ever BBW Performer of the Year nomination, Courtney is most honored by the company she keeps in the category, Lesbian Curves series co-stars April Flores, Betty Blac, Karla Lane, and Kelly Shibari. “What is most interesting about my place on this list is that I have only worked for queer, indie companies – and by that I mean largely my own, for the majority of my career. My body of work spans over 10 years and 30 hardcore scenes, most of which were shot in the past year for TROUBLEfilms and Lesbian Curves related projects. To have made it to the AVN Awards with the hard work I always thought would go unnoticed because I am queer and plus size… It makes every scene I’ve ever shot on my own time, for my own reasons and rewards, that much sweeter.”
Courtney is the only performer nominated who works entirely in lesbian, queer, and girl/girl productions. She won Director of the Year at the BBW Fan Fest Awards in 2013, and received 2 nominations for Plumper Performer of the Year and Specialty Performer of the Year. Her stand-out bestselling plus size queer feature Lesbian Curves won Hottest Dyke Film at the 2013 Feminist Porn Awards.
AVN Magazine also listed Courtney Trouble as a Game Changer in a 2013 feature on the top women changing the face of the adult industry.
Trans Grrrls: Revolution Porn Style Now is also nominated for Best Film at the Trans Porn Awards, taking place in LA in February 2014. Courtney Trouble is up for 2 Best Director awards at that event as well.
