Restructuring
At the start of 2001, Zentropa's CEO Peter Aalbæk Jensen announced his intention to close Puzzy Power, which he claimed had been a financial disappointment. Both Constance and Pink Prison were however still ranking high on international sales lists, and soon after HotMen CoolBoyz was released as an international deluxe DVD-edition. Puzzy Power was not closed, but continued administrating the distribution and income of its three feature productions.
The task of producing new sex films for Zentropa went to a new subsidiary (later independent) company, Innocent Pictures. The two first productions from Innocent Pictures were the educational DVD Femi-X and Beyond (2004), directed by Nicolas Barbano with Joan Ørting as host, and the feature film All About Anna (2005), directed by Jessica Nilsson and starring Gry Bay and Mark Stevens. In spite of a difficult production, All About Anna became an even bigger success than both Constance and Pink Prison.
The full story of Puzzy Power and Innocent Pictures is told in Thomas Vilhelm's book Filmbyen (Ekstra Bladets Forlag, 2007).
