Career
Raul Cristian entered the adult business as a performer shooting his first scene when he was 20 in Budapest, Hungary. As a performer he appeared in over 50 European or American movies.
In 2000 Raul Cristian developed Floyd-Agency, a European porn talent agency and he was contracted to produce adult content for the internet. Between 2003 and 2009 Floyd-Agency produced all of Perfect Gonzo's content. Between 2003 and 2006 Floyd Agency's Production Division shot over 2000 scenes for Perfect Gonzo and 12 titles for Anabolic and Diabolic. Nowadays Floyd-Agency is producing over 400 scenes per year.
In 2007 Raul's popular scenes caught the eye of Evil Angel owner John Stagliano – who quickly became a fan. As a result, Raul's DVDs produced by his company Cruel Media will be distributed in the United States through Evil Angel Productions. [2] Because Evil Angel has a "no creampie" policy Jules Jordan Video has made a deal with Cruel Media to distribute All Internal videos, an internal pop shot line, and one of the names of the website of Perfect Gonzo, to whom they produced scenes for.
