Some Sexy Girl/Girl Sweetheart, an Anal, Evil Stepmom Movie for Herself

VENICE, CA – The great Dana Vespoli is hard at work on two movies and you can be sure she won’t be confusing one for the other.

For Sweetheart she’s shooting Girls Kissing Girls 17, a line she has directed for several times. She is also working on the second volume of her controversial My Evil Stepmom Fucked My Ass for her own production company, distributed by Evil Angel.

“I love being able to work on different kinds of projects,” Dana said. “Every movie has its own personality and appeals to different interests and fetishes and curiosities. I love being able to try different things. Each movie is its own opportunity.”

Dana also has a rare feature dancing date coming up March 6 at Sapphire in New York City.

New releases available to eager fans include Girls Kissing Girls 16 and Lesbian Public Sex Fetish 2 (Dana Vespoli/Evil Angel). For more information on the latter go to http://evilangel-video.com/1045-lesbian-public-sex-fetish-2.html.

Dana Vespoli on Porn Valley Being More Progressive Than Hollywood

International Business Times Article Suggests Adult Industry Leads the Way

VENICE, CA – International Business Times has tackled a topic that will shock the Hollywood elite who tend to consider themselves progressives: they may be falling behind the adult industry.

“Fewer than 8 percent of the top-grossing Hollywood movies in 2014 were directed by women,” Barbara Herman writes for IBT. “And while media discussion of the ‘director gap’ in Hollywood is growing, particularly after the Ava DuVernay Best Director Oscars snub for Selma, one film industry seems to have no problem employing female directors or handing them awards: the adult film industry.”

Dana Vespoli is one of the first people to have her phone ring when the topic of “women in porn” comes up, as it often does, but you won’t see her trying to get attention just because she’s a female director – the work speaks for itself.

“Although she balks at the idea that women have a different style of directing, there’s no question women bring different experiences and viewpoints to their work — a contrast to the largely male vision that dominates Hollywood,” Herman writes.

“’My work tends to be dark,’ she says. She’s not kidding: She described a recent series of films she shot titled Fluid that explored water bondage, and one scene even featured ‘light waterboarding.’ Recently, Vespoli directed a film called Girl/Boy starring Jiz Lee, a ‘gender queer’ performer who eschews gender pronouns, and Vespoli’s own ex-husband, porn star Manuel Ferrara, with whom Vespoli has children.”

Of course, Dana’s unique greatness has been known within the adult industry for quite some time. Here are some snippets from an enthusiastic “5 Hard Ons Out Of 5” review of Dana Vespoli’s Real Sex Diary from Inked Angels.

“Whether writing and directing features and storyline vignettes that (in my opinion) are almost too good for porn or starring in and directing amazing gonzo guerrilla hardcore smut; Dana Vespoli is the force to be reckoned with in adult film making. This is an amazing look into the personal sex live of Ms. Vespoli and I, for one, am thankful for her letting us be flies on the wall. The sex here is real, it’s passionate, it’s raw.

“I just can’t say enough good things about it and to be quite honest, words really cannot describe how completely engrossing and amazing this film is anyway. Everyone should see this.”

Catch Dana in Glenn King’s Maneaters 4: All Bush Edition (Glenn King/Evil Angel), which releases this week.

‘Boundary-Breaking’ Dana Vespoli Wins with ‘TS, I Love You’

‘My Evil Stepson’ Already Scoring Great Reviews

VENICE, CA – Dana Vespoli was rewarded for her daring, diversity and one damn hot scene at the 2015 AVN Awards over the weekend when she won in the Best Transsexual Sex Scene category.

The dynamite scene was with Venus Lux in TS, I Love You, which Dana also directed.

In her coverage of the AVN Awards, Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals’ piece titled “Five 2015 AVN Winners That Were Worth The Hype” included high praise for Dana, her win and her overall Dana-ness.

“Performer/director Dana Vespoli is many things, and boundary-breaking is definitely one of them,” the doctor writes. “TS, I Love You is a wonderful collection that challenges all sorts of stereotypes present both in porn and in the wider social world. It’s also hot as hell. It seems only appropriate that Dana and the savvy, sensational Transsexual Performer of the Year, Venus Lux, win for their scene in TS, I Love You (which Dana also directed).”

It’s not the first time Dana’s work has been memorialized in trophy form: She won the NightMoves Award for Best Director – Non-Parody in 2013, Director of the Year – Non-Feature Release at the 2014 XBIZ Awards and in 2007 she was awarded Directrix of the Year by Adam Film World.

Last week while she was charming fans at the Evil Angel booth at AEE, a new movie was released. My Evil Stepson (Dana Vespoli/Evil Angel) – which stars Cherie DeVille, Sovereign Syre, Logan Pierce, Tyler Nixon, Nina Elle and Dana – has already scored a 4.5-star review from Adult DVD Talk, which praised it as “an exceptional, boundary-pushing release.”

Also new on shelves is Lesbian Adventures: Older Women Younger Girls 6 (Sweetheart) which boasts a lineup of Dana DeArmond, Eva Karera, Ava Addams, Zoey Monroe, Sara Luvv, Janice Griffith and Carter Cruise.

So Evil: Dana Vespoli Releases Ass-Fucking Stepmom Movie This Week

Also: Breaks Out of ‘Prison Lesbians 2’ Shoot

VENICE, CA – The last movie from Dana Vespoli’s incredible year with Evil Angel releases this week as My Evil Stepmom Fucked My Ass streets.

It’s an all-girl affair playing on the often all-too-real wicked fake mom syndrome with shocking results. After all, most of us have probably never really had to submit to anal sex with any but the most diabolical follow-up wife of their father, but it could happen.

The movie stars Dana DeArmond, Sovereign Syre, Serena Blair, Aidra Fox, Casey Calvert and Julia Ann with Dana joining in the fun, too.

“I’m hoping My Evil Stepmom Fucked My Ass gets a good response,” Dana said. “It was fun to shoot. I had wanted to explore the taboo aspect of incest and older/younger themes, but wasn’t sure what kind of movie to shoot exactly. Suddenly the movie title popped in my head, which made me laugh. I was happy and giddy and decided to just go with it.”

Fans can also look forward to My Evil Stepson, which comes out Jan. 19. It stars Nina Elle, Sovereign Syre, Cherie Deville, Xander Corvus, Van Wyle, Tyler Nixon, Logan Pierce and Dana.

She just finished shooting Prison Lesbians 2 for Sweetheart says she is “very happy” with the shoot.

“Everyone was outstanding,” she said. “I think people are going to be very happy when they see it.”

Dana Vespoli Ready to Shoot Another ‘Prison Lesbians’

Die Screaming Top 10 List, Fleshbot Feature, Great AAN Review

VENICE, CA – Dana Vespoli just released her first Prison Lesbians movie and she’s already preparing to shoot another. With the first one an instant smash, how could she resist?

Prison Lesbians 2 will feature Dakota Skye, Chanel Preston, Ela Darling, Rizzo Ford, Vicki Chase, Alyssa Reece and Jay Taylor.

Dana is also in an extra great mood since the nominations for the 2015 AVN Awards and XBIZ Awards were announced (and she scored big!). AVN piled 21 nominations on her, including Director of the Year, three for Best All-Girl Series, two for All-Girl Release, Best Drama, Best Interracial Release, Best Non-Feature, Best Specialty Release – Other Genre and Best Older Woman/Younger Girl Release.

From XBIZ she received noms for Director of the Year – Body of Work, Director of the Year – Feature Release, Couples-Themed Release of the Year, Screenplay of the Year, Interracial Release of the Year; and Transsexual Release of the Year.

In another confirmation of Dana’s wonderfulness, Die Screaming released their list of the Top 10 Movies of 2014 and Dana came in at #10 with Hollywood Babylon.

“Hollywood Babylon is director Dana Vespoli’s masterpiece,” they wrote. “It delivers a powerful story backed by top-shelf hardcore performances from Sovereign Syre (who stars in each of the film’s 5 scenes while also performing her first B/G scenes) makes Hollywood Babylon the type of twisted, dirty porn that makes most other smut just look average.”

Dana received a 4.5 rating for her Real Sex Diary (Dana Vespoli/Evil Angel) from All Adult Network. Art Koch wrote the review that raves about her adventurous directing.

“Never one to go the safe route, Dana Vespoli takes us inside her world away from the sets, the makeup chair, the camera crews and is just herself,” he writes. “Everything that you see is as natural as can be. If you have ever wondered what some porn stars off the set life is like, then check this out as Dana gives you a firsthand look at how she is, what she thinks, how she looks at the world, at sex and at life. This is one I definitely recommend getting, it is bare boned, real, entertaining, erotic and fun.”

Fleshbot did a fun feature with Dana to coincide with her first Prison Lesbians movie. She told the site who she’d like to be locked up with. Check it out at http://straight.fleshbot.com/6005610/dana-vespolis-top-five-dream-fellow-prison-lesbians.
