Vid Vicious
Terpon VR brings on video content
veteran
Terpon.com has hired video content
veteran Vid Vicious. The move is part
of a string of hires that will allow the
company to scale properly as it gains
momentum and brings its state-of-the-
art VR webcams to market. Vid Vicious
brings more than 20 years of experience
on the content production side of the
business to the company and will serve
in roles that facilitate the integration of
Terpon technology with all aspects of
current video and webcam broadcasting.
“Mikael ‘Vid Vicious’ Levy was the
obvious choice for this role within the
Terpon team,” explained Terpon.com
CEO Jean-Claude Artonne. “Having
someone with so much experience
creating content, and familiar with
all of the needs and challenges
cinematographers face when filming for
adult entertainment, is essential to our
mission.”
“Over the years I have worked
with many top brands, built dozens of
profitable content sites, and I had also
worked with Jean-Claude on some other
mainstream projects. What Terpon
is doing is game-changing, and I am
deeply excited to be part of it all. To
me this feels like going from DVDs to
downloads all over again. VR is going to
be that big,” said Vicious.

it was the freedom. ... There will be
the usual boy/girl, blowjob and girl/
girl content, but I’d like to dive into
something a little deeper. I want to give
my fans their real-life fantasies acted
out for them to enjoy.”
She added, “I have received a lot
of requests for me to start doing anal
again and I am happy to announce that
AlexisMonroe.com will be the exclusive
place to find my new anal scenes.”

BellaPass with husband JD Bella, “After
meeting Alexis over a year ago when
we filmed together and seeing her
determined work ethic, we are so proud
to be adding her brand-new website to
the BellaPass Network. We are excited
to see her filming some of her hottest
content, real passion, done exactly
how she wants to do it. We couldn’t be
happier to help her grow in the online
adult industry.”

BRIEFS | By AVN staff
Alex Legend VNA Girls network adds first male performer
Alex Legend has a new website, AlexLegend.com, in the VNA Network. The site has a
new tour, promo video and members area. Legend edited and made the tour video
and composed the music himself. Most of the content is shot in 4K.
Originally from France, Legend moved to the United States 10 years ago. He
began shooting adult content more than two years ago.
VNA Network’s Vicky Vette noted, “Alex is a very hard-working performer. We’ve
never done a site for male talent before. It’s kind of funny to think the 30th VNA Girl
is actually a guy. Alex shoots with some of the top girls in the business and the site
is already picking up memberships, so we were happy to try a new direction. The
VNA is expanding into more areas in 2017. Fans are very diverse and we are going
to cover more genres in the coming months.”
Performers interested in the VNA Network can email vicky@vettenationlive.com.
