LOS ANGELES, CA – (DECEMBER 21, 2021) – Three-consecutive-time AVN Best Actor and Gamma exclusive contract performer Seth Gamble’s directorial debut The Red Room has received an AVN Editor’s Choice review.
Produced by Axel Braun for the Wicked imprint, The Red Room spotlights Gamble and 2021 AVN Female Performer of the Year Emily Willis, and features 2022 AVN Award Nominees Lena Paul, Aidra Fox, and Kenna James.
“One could perceive this as something of a star showcase for Gamble, who co-stars in every scene as well as directs,” AVN’s reviewer notes. “He gives it his all—especially in the coupling where he is paired with Kenna James.” But the reviewer is quick to point out there is much more going on than is typically found in a star showcase or anthology. “Look closely and the true theme emerges: the release, and build-up, of pure passion.”
As befits the project’s Editor’s Choice status, The Red Room has earned Gamble a trio of high-profile 2022 AVN Awards nominations – Best Directing (Non-Narrative Production), Best Gonzo/Compendium Movie or Limited Series, and Best Boy/Girl Sex Scene for the aforementioned pairing with James.
Beyond the project’s triple-play success, Gamble’s four additional 2022 AVN nominations speak to his status as one of his generation’s most in-demand adult actors. His darkly haunting performance in Francois Clousot’s Wicked release Gods & Sinners was rewarded with a Best Leading Actor nomination, while his highly-lauded turn in Black Widow XXX: An Axel Braun Parody, received a nod for Best Actor – Featurette. His work for other labels was recognized with a Best Tag-Team Sex Scene nomination (for Nubile Fillms’ May 2021 Fantasy of the Month, with Alex Coal & Codey Steele).
Personally and professionally, Gamble is clearly having a moment. After years of starring in movies for others, he is now in demand both as a filmmaker and actor — yet while new horizons beckon, he couldn’t be happier to have been nominated for Male Performer of the Year.
“I’m so appreciative of everyone who has had a hand in getting me here, all the people that took a chance on me every step of the way in my career,” said Seth. “Specifically, regarding The Red Room, I am grateful for Axel Braun and his belief in my abilities, for the support of my wonderful wife Kenzie Taylor, and for the professionalism of my excellent cast and crew. You are my equals, you are my betters. I wouldn’t be here without you.”
“Seth’s outstanding directorial debut surprised everybody, but not me,” said Wicked Head of Production Axel Braun. “I have worked alongside him for a very long time, and over the years I have watched him grow and mature as a performer and as a human being. His passion and dedication to his craft, coupled with his creativity and endless imagination made it obvious to me that the natural next step in his career was directing. As a top performer and actor, he used his exposure to the top directors in the business as a learning tool, and instead of passively executing directions he absorbed like a sponge all the different aspects of filmmaking. The Red Room is an exceptional movie, and all the nominations are an outstanding achievement for Seth, but mark my words: he’s just warming up.”
