LOS ANGELES — Performers Samantha Mack and Misha Montana have inked directing deals with Alt Erotic beginning with “GlamGonz” for Montana and “Lewd, Screwed and Tattooed” for Mack.

“We are revamping the company a bit with more of a woman’s touch. We feel like adding a female perspective to the team is crucial,” CEO and Creative Director Ivan said. “Both ladies are doing the booking and scene prepping as well as directing and helping in the edit bay to create their unique vision.”

“GlamGonz” is described as a four-part series focused on “beautiful, classy porn stars getting completely ravaged in hardcore gonzo scenes,” said Montana.

“I personally love the old-school performers of the ‘80s and ’90s and the raw, passionate style of gonzo mixed with heavy glam. We are currently in production now and I can’t wait to bring the final product,” she said. “I have wanted to add feminine energy to leadership in porn since I first decided to join the industry; it is so important to me that women get representation in such a male-dominated industry. When Ivan and the team approached me to be Chief Brand Officer of Alt Erotic, I was ecstatic. When they asked me to direct some projects for them, I was over the moon. I’ve always wanted to direct and I have so many ideas I’ve wanted to bring to the world.”

Mack’s “Lewd, Screwed and Tattooed,” described as a threeway-themed original feature, is also currently in production.

“It is rare in any genre of the film industry to get an opportunity to have true creative freedom. After MackMovies partnered with Alt Erotic this past fall, I have worked side-by-side with Ivan on multiple projects and learned that with ambition and good old-fashioned elbow grease, nothing is impossible,” she said.

“Alt Erotic is a company that’s known for its wild creativity that pushes the boundaries of porn’s social norms as we’ve come to know them,” Mack noted. “Ivan is extremely generous with his knowledge; through his tutelage and friendship, I now feel like a baby bird being pushed out of the nest. He has fully prepared me to turn my ideas into reality on the silver screen; I’m grateful to get the opportunity to direct, but even more grateful for this incredible crew I get to work with day in and day out.”

MONTREAL — BranditScan has unveiled its “catfish scanner” tech that utilizes brand name searches combined with facial recognition technology to identify and take down Instagram imposters.

“We wanted creators to kick back and know they are in good hands. They simply need to provide us with a selfie and their brand names when they sign up. The scanner will send over anything that matches their identity,” explained a company rep.

“On a daily basis we would see creators asking fans to report fake accounts on Instagram, at times with little success,” the rep continued. “We just knew there had to be an easier way to automate this for creators so they could easily find and take down catfishes.”

The catfish scanner is among the features available with BranditScan’s $45 Premium Plan.

“Not only can creators send out takedowns for their stolen content, but they can also submit their very own links to BranditScan for any other social platforms,” the rep said. “A creator creates their online brand and presence on more than one platform, and we really believe that now more than ever, creators should have access to protect every aspect of their brand all in one spot, for a price that is affordable,” the rep said.

LOS ANGELES — Blake Blossom and Hime Marie mark their debuts for POVR Originals with the erotic VR parody “The Sixxxth Sense.”

“Hime is the hottest ghost hunter in town and this time she thinks she’s got one,” a rep teased. “While setting up for a spooky recording, Hime has more than paranormal investigations on her mind. While she indulges in some dick, Blake appears out of nowhere — gh-gh-gh-ghost! To help settle this sexy haunting, Hime plays her part in helping Blake get off.”

“Is that ectoplasm all over the place or is that jizz?” asked the rep.

The 49-minute scene currently rates 100% among active website members and includes the content tags “Doggy-Style,” “Handjob,” “Sixty-Nine,” “Threesomes” and more.

“Blake and Hime have always been regarded as top performers and for them, we really wanted to do something special,” POVR Managing Director Darrell Rosebush said. “We generally put a lot of work into the pre-production part of the process but this time we had extra opportunity to align with production crews for special effects and other fun elements. Both Hime and Blake did a superb job with this scene and I predict it will become a big fan favorite.”

LAS VEGAS — Performer, artist and entrepreneur Lydia Black will debut a new collection of handmade paddles to her “Slut Witch” BDSM shop Saturday after the previous batch last month quickly sold out.

“Fans can purchase paddles from the same molds as the last drop — a stripper Baphomet or a Grim Reaper with fishnets, or both — but Lydia has changed the color to a dark silver grey, adorned with real bones and paper moths from Moth and Myth,” a rep explained. “She’s also replaced the flowers with foils of skeletons having sex, making them a perfect addition to your bedroom toys.”

Black expressed gratitude for “everyone who purchased a paddle from the last release.”

“This will be my last release before I take vacation, so I wanted to make these special,” she added. “The color and the bones give it a spooky feel, and the paper moths keep the element of nature I love. And this is my first time working with foils in awhile, so I am excited for this style change.”

Find the “Slut Witch” BDSM shop online and on Twitter.

In related news, starting Friday, Black will make her OnlyFans page free to join for new subscribers ahead of a live show Saturday at 5 p.m. (PDT).

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Full Moon Features is set to release “Cassex: Chapter Two” Friday, described by a rep as “an outrageous, sexy, sci-fi comedy” with Lexi Luna in the title role as “mischievous ’80s porn superstar” Cassandra Essex who is hellbent on the seduction and corruption of a young couple.

“From the wild minds that gave you ‘Femalien: Cosmic Crush‘ is a bold new film based on an unfilmed Charles Band/Empire Pictures project from the 1980s,” noted the rep. “Director Lindsey Schmitz’s retro analog odyssey tells the tale of a married couple who dig up a dirty home movie from the ’80s. The VHS tape spices up their love life — and transports them to an erotic dimension of danger and seduction ruled by a legendary porn star. As the couple navigates their increasingly fractured reality, the lines between the real world and fantasy become blurred. Is it real, or is it ‘Cassex’?”

The title is “packed with nudity, laughs and weirdness,” the rep added.

Anna Claire Clouds, Jayden Cole, Jazmin Luv, Lauren Phillips and Michael Vegas fill out the cast; Tanya Tate served as casting director.

“Cassex: Chapter Two” will be available at FullMoonFeatures.com.

Later this summer, “longer and sexier cuts” of “Cassex” will stream at ExoticMovieHouse.com.

The latter platform is described as “Full Moon’s one-stop streaming shop exclusively dedicated to vintage and new mature cinema,” said the rep, “from award-winning European classics, to sensual ’90s video store favorites, to cheeky subversive grindhouse fare and new, contemporary wild cinema with an ever-expanding library of classy, subversive entertainment designed for private home viewing as well as intimate nights in with the one you love.”

LOS ANGELES — Newcomer Rory Knox marks her PervCity.com debut this week, opposite Sean Michaels, under the direction of Maestro Claudio.

“Fans may be surprised that Rory only has a handful of scenes under her belt, as she handles Sean like a pro, from deep-throating to an ass-pounding. There’s plenty of ATM until the scene ends in an anal creampie,” noted a rep.

The starlet enthused about her inaugural PervCity experience.

“I am so grateful to have worked with both Sean and Maestro Claudio for this scene,” she said. “There’s nothing more valuable to a newcomer in any field than to experience seasoned artists work their hand. And I certainly got to.”

“When you attempt to go beyond her appealing look, you discover a beautiful soul that entirely fascinates your mind,” he said. “That captivating smile ever present on her sensual mouth is a statement of what really resides inside her: pure love. Did I forget to say she’s also a terrific performer who can be really nasty in front of the camera?”

Michaels noted his pleasure at returning to PervCity to work with a charismatic new performer.

“I was very happy to be reunited with my good friends after a year and four months, due to COVID,” he said. “However, what a way to return with a smoking-hot anal scene with a natural beauty and lusty queen, the amazing Rory Knox. We had mind-blowing sex. Thank you for having me back, PervCity.”
