ABOUT JIM POWERS

Jim Powers is one of the most prolific directors of our time who’s always been known for being controversial and once told Forbes he wants to be the Warren Buffett of porno. Growing up in the Valley in the 1970s, Jim was influenced by comic books, horror movies, fan magazines, and skateboarding, and in the 1980s, all he wanted to do was be a punk rocker and skateboarder. After graduating from Cal State Northridge, he became a stockbroker, a DVD distributor, and a part-time pornographer. 

In 1992, while gambling in Ballys in Vegas, Jim wandered into the AVN Awards and decided he could make a better movie than most people there for $5k—he and his friend put up $2500 each to make “The Hills Have Thighs.” Kevin Beachum of Midnight Pictures encouraged him to shoot amateurs on the beach, even though he had never even picked up a camera. While shooting on the beach in Malibu, his set was shut down, and he was hit with felony charges of pandering and conspiracy. He continued to shoot at private houses and swinger parties for Beachum and other companies to cover his legal bills. 

In 1993, a chance meeting with Jeff Mike of JM Productions led to history when the two joined forces, regularly pushing the limits of sex while still staying out of prison. Jim helped them roll out their bukkake line and invented American Bukkake—Downtown Larry Melrose from the Howard Stern Show was frequently on his sets. Jim had his own company, Powersville, and directed for legendary adult studios Heatwave, Mayhem, Sin City, Notorious, Immoral Productions, and Smash Pictures. Currently, he directs for Gender X, Devil’s Film, BiPhoria, Dogfart, Zero Tolerance, Adult Time, Transfixed, Fantasy Massage, and Addicted to Girls, and averages over 300 scenes per year.

With 50 performer credits and thousands of scenes as a director, Jim won Director of the Year (Body of Work) and Best Director – Non-Feature from the AVN Awards and was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2005. He’s also scored countless AVN Awards nominations for Best Director, Best Director – Feature, Director of the Year: Individual Project, Best Directing Portfolio – Specialty, Best Director – Parody, Director of the Year (Body of Work), Director – Non-Feature, and Best Videography, as well as Gonzo Director of the Year from the XBIZ Awards, Best Producer Nominee from the TEAs, Best Director – Parody from XRCOs, and Top BDSM Release from AEBN’s VOD Awards.

During the Black Flag era, Jim sported a mohawk and toured in punk rock bands. He still plays bass in the punk rock band Killroy at high-end venues like Roxy, Viper Room, and Knitting Factory.

Bloomer Yang’s Delphine Films Mockumentary BTS Gives Real Gossip in Episode 5

(Hollywood, CA) This week Taiwanese-born award-winning adult film director Bloomer Yang’s mockumentary series “Behind the Scenes” rolls out Episode 5, and the makeup artist is gossiping and causing problems on set.

Episode 5 of “Behind the Scenes” is now available. This week’s installation, “The Makeup Artist Gossips,” brings makeup artist Hailey (Kenna James) to the forefront. Lurking around and making mental notes, she sees everything and will keep it a secret for a price. Hailey catches director of photography Jimmy (Will Pounder) and PA Paige (Charlie Forde) in the kitchen talking about their three-way with gaffer Timmy (Tommy Pistol) and asks her to keep it a secret. When Hailey sees assistant director Alice (Lulu Chu) and Jimmy kissing, she knows she must expose their affair to save her from future heartbreak. Hailey chats with the female lead Chloe (Jane Wilde), about things going on on set. Jane immediately thinks people are doing drugs and lets the director (Oliver Wong) know. Oliver calls a staff and crew meeting to find out what’s going on. Jimmy decides to expose their adult action, but Alice gives Jimmy a pass and orders Max and Chloe to do sex prep. Paige sneaks into the bathroom with male lead Max (Nathan Bronson) and flirts with him before masturbating in front of him. Will Max blow his wad before the scene? You’ll just have to watch and see.

“This series feature was so much fun to make, and I’m sad that next week is the last episode. Everyone loves it because they’re entertained, get a few laughs, and can jerk off. What more could you ask for?!” says Bloomer Yang.

Bloomer Yang’s Delphine Films BTS on a Porn Set Series Drops 3rd Episode

(Hollywood, CA) Taiwanese-born award-winning adult film director Bloomer Yang’s latest series “Behind the Scenes” is at the midway point, with Episode 3 dropping last night.

If you think you know what happens on a porn set, think again. With his series “Behind the Scenes,” Bloomer Yang lets the Delphine Films members on set but gives his scripts a comedic twist. Shooting a porn while bringing the laughs is serious business. Episode 3, “The Production Assistant Seduces the Crew,” opens with production assistant Paige (Charlie Forde) flirting with Timmy (Tommy Pistol) and feeding him in the kitchen. He swears he won’t hook up with her, even though she’s aggressive and inappropriate. Jimmy (Will Pounder) tries to talk to assistant director Alice (Lulu Chu) and vows to show her he brings stability. Bloomer has a monologue about changing the script. Paige flirts with Jimmy, and Timmy catches them, resulting in a food fight. Paige gets hot from the fighting and offers to have sex with both at the same time…and she does. Alice and Bloomer fight about rewriting the script.

“The whole series could be part of my next standup routine. Being a comedian and a porn director has paid off with this series. I’m glad it’s been so well received and am excited for the site members to see the last three scenes,” says Bloomer Yang.

Delphine Films’ members can watch Episode 3 of “Behind the Scenes” at delphinefilms.com/videos. A new episode will premiere each Thursday for the next three weeks.

It’s All About Watching In Delphine Films’ New All-Star Scene

(Hollywood, CA) Taiwanese-born award-winning adult film director Bloomer Yang has a brand-new scene on Delphine Films that debuted last night and might be one of the hottest girl/girl scenes of the year.

“Watch” stars Lilly Bell who is a newbie escort that’s been hired by female client, Jane Wilde. The scene opens with Jane grilling Lilly about how many people she’s had sex with and passing judgement on the number. After 30 minutes of this, Lilly is ready to leave since she’s been insulted and has never had a female client. Then Jane’s husband Tommy Pistol comes home. Lilly assumes they want a three-way, which wasn’t previously discussed. But then Lilly find out he just wants to watch and record some of out for personal use. Just as Lilly though, rich people are perverts. But soon she’ll find out rich people can buy anything in the world including fantasies. Jane and Lilly make out, undress each other, and go at it on the couch. It’s passionate and also has some rough elements like choking, smacking, and tribbing. Jane has one last surprise for Lilly as she pulls out a glass dildo for Lilly to fuck her and get one last orgasm.

“As a viewer, you never know where the scene will go. At first, it looks like Jane wants to insult Lilly, but then her husband comes home, and it seems like a three-way. But he just wants to be a voyeur and gets off just as much as if he was in the action. Lilly and Jane’s acting was impressive, and very orgasm was real because they both really love women. I know the members will enjoy this,” says Bloomer Yang.

Check out the trailer and 28-minute exclusive scene for “Watch” at delphinefilms.com/videos.

ELEVATE Announces Inka Winter as November 2022 Community Partner

 
(Los Angeles, CA) As ELEVATE (presented by Streamate) continues to change the narrative around people engaged in and/or who work adjacent to the adult space, they’ve announced their Community Partner for November 2022, and it’s Inka Winter, ForPlay Films Director and Founder.
LA-based costume designer and lifelong artist Inka Winter temporarily lost her sex drive in her thirties and looked to adult content to reignite it. Turned off by objectifying and degrading images, Inka wanted sensual and sexy porn that showed women enjoying sex for their pleasure. So she started ForPlay Films and made her own content to help herself and other women feel sexually empowered. The independent, award-winning, all-woman production company creates erotic short films through a feminist gaze and brings their pleasure and fantasies front and center. Both real-life couples and professional adult performers star in films that focus on chemistry, consent, and women’s sexual autonomy. ForPlay Films also produces Sexucation, a series of short videos that use humor to educate women and men on all-things sex.
Besides being promoted on ELEVATE’s social media (@beyondsexwork on Twitter and Instagram), Inka made her live streaming debut on Streamate on Friday, November 11th. “How to Please the Vagina” was seen at InkaWinter.cammodels.com and featured Inka and special guests Megan Mistakes and Jasmine Teaa answering viewer questions, offering educational insights, and delivering some sexy surprises. ELEVATE also encourages their followers to engage Community Partner Inka Winter, on Instagram at @inka.winter and Foreplay Films at @ForPlayFilms on Twitter and IG, and visit their site forplayfilms.com.
“I am very excited about this partnership. Coming from an angle of sex education and sensuality coaching, with this partnership, we are trying something different on the Streamate platform. I am looking forward to seeing how it will be received,” says Inka Winter.
“The Elevate team is really thrilled to be working with Inka! We’re inspired by Inka’s unwavering determination to shake up the protocol around sexual imagery, which is often catered solely toward masculine leaning audiences. Inka and her all-woman crew are fearlessly paving the way for future creators who wish to offer alternative views of sex and intimacy from a feminine perspective, richly layered with all of the subtle nuances that strike deep into viewers’ pleasure centers. The fact that Inka prioritizes ethical practices throughout the production process, should be something that we continue to normalize as an industry,” says Streamate Director of Community Relations and Elevate Creator Vanessa Eve.

The nominees for the 2023 AVN Awards were recently announced, and Ariel X was recognized for her sites and as a performer.

ABOUT EVOLVED FIGHTS
Having directed and performed in the wrestling genre for a decade, Ariel X started the unscripted, competitive, and mixed wrestling site Evolved Fights in 2018, and in 2019 launched the sister site Evolved Lez. The original site drew its name from her journey discovering the joys of fetish wrestling, and training and discipline. When she named the site, she hoped every sexual athlete who steps onto her mats gets the same character evolution that she has had.

Bree Mills Discusses Her Career, Industry Changes, Diversity on The Lisa Ann Experience Podcast

(Montreal, QC / August 23, 2022) — Bree Mills, one of adult film’s most prolific award-winning filmmakers, took time out of her busy schedule to sit for an interview with host Lisa Ann on her podcast, The Lisa Ann Experience.During the discussion, Mills opened up about coming into the adult industry after a career in corporate marketing, how she infused her love of theater and mainstream films into adult projects and how her initial lack of industry experience benefited her productions “because I didn’t have all of the preconceived notions of what you should and shouldn’t do.”
She explained that she was “so inspired by the talent around me that it led me to bring the idea of Adult Time as a space to make any show… I’ll be the first to say I’m a very lousy pornographer, I just like making movies and I love seeing people realize how talented they are.”Now as the Chief Creative Officer of Adult Time, she says she is pleased that her goal of creating a diverse platform for performers and filmmakers has paid off with the company’s success. “One of the things that we wanted to do was reach out to talent that had been kind of outcast by a lot of mainstream porn and offer them inclusion and beautiful projects that they can star in.
She added that she is proud of the company’s vision of “using our medium to get people off, but also to make people think and make people feel and help push some social change, which I think especially in terms of sexuality and gender – if it’s not going to be us doing it, nobody else is doing it, so we might as well!”
After the interview, Lisa Ann offered the highest praise for her guest, saying that “Bree has the energy that the industry has always needed, and I know many people are in a better place because of Bree! This episode has the best feels… this one really hit close to my heart.”
