W Wh ha at t w wa as s y yo ou ur r f fi ir rs st t m mo ov vi ie e? ? In 1984 I had the opportunity to write a few porn scripts for director Scotty Fox. I was going to make a few extra dollars, take the money and run,
hello/goodbye/thank you very much. My first script, Intimate Couples , was for VCX; John Holmes was line producer. The second was Ginger , the first of Vivid’s Ginger Lynn line.
W Wh ha at t j jo ob bs s h ha av ve e y yo ou u d do on ne e? ? I’ve written over 400 screenplays. ... Also worked as assistant and co-director with Bruce Seven, Ron Sullivan and others. Have worked production on
many of the movies I wrote, costumed hundreds of movies, worked as dialogue coach, PM, chief cook and dildo washer. ... I have shot stills as well as art photos.
F Fa av vo or ri it te e m me em mo or ry y o of f A AV VN N A Aw wa ar rd ds s S Sh ho ow w: : My favorite AVN Awards Show was the first I attended, in January of 1987. As to why this was my favorite, I’ll give you a paragraph from the
book I just finished writing: “Club Ginger took two awards and Blame It On Ginger took four, including Best Video of the year. A lot of whooping and screaming came from our team,
as we were up for more awards than any other company, and when we won Best Video pandemonium broke out. Sullivan (who directed it) jumped up and kissed me, Ginger hugged
me as she and Steve rushed to the stage to accept the award. Steve gave his thank you speech, then Ginger took the microphone and said, ‘I’d like to give special thanks to our
wonderful writer, Raven Touchstone…’ and those many performers I had written for since Day One in the business, the kids I had rehearsed, the producers and directors I had worked
with, broke into applause and screamed and whistled and stomped their feet. I was positively floored, humbled and teary-eyed. This was an epiphany, the moment I realized my porn
career had sneaked up on me. It wasn’t a stepping stone to something else. This was it. This was where I belonged. This was where I was happy. This was where I would stay.”
