Bryci, who together with
Popular Canadian web starlet
husband J.D. Bella oversees
the BellaPass network of sites
anchored by her own Bryci.com,
Web Star Bryci’s BellaPass Network Signs With Juicy Entertainment
ventures for the first time into the DVD market by way of a
new distribution deal with Juicy Entertainment.
Under the deal, BellaPass will initially release one title per
month through Juicy containing exclusive-to-DVD scenes, and
expand to two DVDs per month in the near future. The debut
BellaPass DVD, a two-disc set shot entirely in 4K, is simply
titled Bryci and ships March 9, with a March 16 street date.
Having started her website several years ago, Bryci told AVN
that she and her husband found their way to Juicy as admirers
of Kelly and Ryan Madison, whose Kelly Madison Media the
company also distributes.
“We’re big fans of PornFidelity [the Madisons’ flagship
website], and we bought one of their DVDs and saw on the
side Juicy Entertainment,” Bryci explained, “and we were like,
‘Hmm, maybe we should think about doing DVDs someday, I
wonder if they would even be into us. That would be so funny.’
So we contacted them and they were like, ‘Yeah, for sure!’ and
we were like, ‘What? Seriously? OK, I guess let’s do this, why
not?’”
For her eponymous first DVD, Bryci brought on a few
performers no strangers to the format to share the screen with
her, namely Aaliyah Love, Marley Brinx and Katie Banks.
“I’ve been friends with [Love] for about six years,” Bryci
said. “So we went down to San Diego for vacation, and we were
like, ‘Hey, do you have a day off, you want to fly in?’ So we
flew her in and fucked and filmed it, and it was great. And then
in January [in Las Vegas], that’s when we got together with
Marley and four other girls to film some stuff for DVD.”
Bryci noted that she hopes with this move to tap into a new
audience without getting caught up in the typical maelstrom
of porn stardom. “We’re just really far removed from the
whole porn industry type thing up in Canada,” she said.
“[This] allows me to be the girl next door but not have to be
a full-blown porn star. I get to have the exposure from having
my own DVDs and websites and have the fun of being more
known, but I don’t have to go and live the actual porn life. We
do this to get off on it, to just kind of be exhibitionists. It kind
of just works.”
Juicy general manager Danny Gorman told AVN that when
Bryci first called him, he went to her website and immediately
said to himself, “I better sign her right now before she has a
chance to call anyone else. I’m honored to have her part of the
Juicy team.”

Metro Makes Switch to Shooting in 4K Ultra High Definition
Metro Distributors has announced that
beginning with this week’s productions
all of its new titles will be shot in 4K ultra
high-definition.
The first two 4K shoots for Metro Distributors
included the latest volume of the Cal Vista teen
series Naughty Newbies and the newest Deviant
Entertainment hardcore fetish production, Anal
Domination. Both titles are scheduled for a May 10
street date.
Metro-West general manager Bill Rix commented,
“We felt it was important for us to stay ahead of the
technology curve and offer consumers the highest
production quality available. With the cost of 4K
televisions coming down and bandwidth speeds
beyond in domination scenarios looks even better in
4K.”
Longtime Metro director Anton Slayer added,
“We all know how technology pushes forward at
a ridiculous rate, and that the porn industry has
always led the way as new technologies have been
developed, and the advent of 4K is no different. I’m
very pleased to be shooting for Metro using the new
4K equipment, the quality we’re getting is absolutely
amazing. I think the fans are going to be very happy
with the results, seeing the beautiful women we shoot
in the greatest picture quality available.”

increasing, more and more consumers are seeking out
4K content. As we build up our 4K library, it will give
us many opportunities for the broadcast market, and

Rix continued, “Seeing all-new volumes of No
Man’s Land, Babes Illustrated, Cougar-Ville and others
in 4K is going to be a real treat for fans. The Deviant
Entertainment content looks incredible; seeing

Girlsway Debuts New Series ‘Project Pandora’
adult content site of Gamma Entertainment’s
Girlsway Network, the award-winning lesbian
FameDollars affiliate program, has released a new
erotic feature, Project Pandora: A Psychosexual Lesbian
Thriller, as part of a five-part series format, with biweekly
airings through April 28.
GameLink and HotMovies both exclusively offered
Project Pandora in March, with other VOD outlets
following.
Director Bree Mills, who also serves as Gamma Films
head of production, and her creative partner Stills by
Alan have once again conceived an original feature that is
ambitious as the team’s previous erotic efforts, The Business
of Women and The Turning—both multiple AVN Award
nominees.
“Girlsway is committed to making stylish and unique
movies that celebrate women, their strength and their
sexuality,” said Mills. “We are proud of the work we’ve
accomplished with Project Pandora and hope viewers will
share our excitement.”
The feature stars Jenna Sativa, Cherie DeVille, Abella
Danger, Mia Malkova, and Mercedes Carrera. DeVille plays
happily married Isadora with a dark secret that’s about
to come out in the wake of a lesbian ‘epidemic’ that has
infiltrated her community.
“Project Pandora picks up six months after last year’s
series The Turning,” said Mills. “We’ve brought together
an all-star cast, beautiful visuals, a great script and
powerhouse performances that guarantee a happy ending
for all.”
