shoot a series like that today. We flew all over the country with
equipment, porn stars, sex toys, and lubes and condoms. Today
you’d spend days trying to get through TSA with all the stuff that
we did. That’s were it all began.”
The New Orleans trip yielded the second scene in the
retrospective, starring Jessica Drake, Sydnee Steele and Evan
Stone. After that come two excerpts from the third stop on the
Sex Across America tour, San Francisco—one of which features
Aurora Snow’s first scene.
The next three locations are varied, and Silk is in the middle of
the action in each. In New York she enjoys group sex with Adajja,
Jade Marcela and Tyler Wood, and in Miami things get wet in
a girl/girl squirting scene with Lori Rivers. And finally there’s
the aforementioned trip to Hawaii, where Silk does an all-girl
foursome with Kate Frost, Summer Storm and TJ Hart.
Also on the itinerary are stops in Los Angeles, Seattle, Puerto
Rico, Aspen, the Sturgis bike rally and Virginia Beach. These
are ambitious location shoots that offer a window on a different
time in adult entertainment, albeit just a decade ago, with a look
at various stars from the time, including Katie Morgan, Carmen
Luvana, Nicole Sheridan Randi Wright, Michelle Lay, Randy
Spears. Kurt Lockwood and Voodoo.
Wylder recalls the shoot at the 64th bike rally in Sturgis, South
Dakota, released in 2005. “By that time we had the attention of
Playboy TV and national broadcasting and so they came out to
follow us around. We were trying to stay low-key. Playboy had
one of the first HD cameras and it was huge. And they were
driving around Sturgis in a bright yellow Corvette. Way to be low
profile, Playboy TV.”
Footage from scenes shot for Sex Across America in the early 2000s include Randy Spears, Randi Wright, Alexandra Silk and Katie Morgan.

Wylder started this huge project, which involves a lot of technical work to bring the older footage
up to the standards of today’s porn fans, accustomed to HD-quality fare, after he started doing a lot
of video engineering work. “I have a system where I can do video standards conversions and I can
go from SD to HD and do all kinds of color enhancements and frame changes. So Adam & Eve has
hired me to help them up-convert their video library. And we’ve been doing this work for some time.
When it came around to converting the media for Sex Across America, I said, ‘You know, guys, this
series is phenomenal. It really is. The people that we had shooting with us, and the places that we
went, it’s unbelievable. You’ve got to do something with it.’”
Silk added, “That series still to this day became their top seller. … Sex Across America is always up
there. It’s just a great seller.”
After the tour ended with the twelfth stop in Virginia beach, Fallen Angel continued to release
DVDs through Adam & Eve, including the series Swingers Wife Swap and Amateur Angels, the latter of
which is now up to volume 30.
“We’re not the people that are into making a lot of noise,” Wylder said. “We prefer to just make
our movies and not be in the competitive mindset—just do the best we can with the finest quality
equipment and talent and crew that money can buy.”
He pointed out, “Swingers Wife Swap is one of the best-selling series for Adam & Eve right now,
and that’s why we’re doing number 5. It’s been really fun creating this sexy, yet informative glimpse
into the swinger lifestyle. The series enables us to work with new talent who are on the cusp of
stardom and to work with them in such a way that they can have fun and not feel a lot of pressure
from trying to play another character. We encourage people to let their own personalities shine
through as much as possible. And with the Swingers Wife Swap specifically we are having people
portray the roles that actual swingers would have. One person would be the newcomer, one’s the
more experienced one. One is the hostess of the party, telling everybody the rules of the house,” he
explained.
The most recent volume, Swingers Wife Swap 5: The Pajama Party, is coming out
this year. Silk talked about the fun they had on set during the production, on
which Alva worked along with Blair Williams, Danny Mountain, Dolly Leigh,
Dylan Snow, Giselle Palmer, Justin Hunt and Zoe Clark. She described a scene
in which the group wakes up in the morning after having partied the night
before, and they start the action up all over again.
But whatever they’re working on, Wylder and Silk focus on making their
sets a sex-positive haven where performers can feel comfortable and safe.
“It’s not newfound behavior—I have always produced ethical porn and
treated people in the business with integrity. I care about the people who are
working for us, whether they’re talent or crew or whoever. It’s important to
me that they all know that everyone on set respects and cares for each other,
and that they’re part of the family. And that kind of a mentality is what’s
enabled Fallen Angel to continue doing business in the adult industry,
especially with Adam & Eve, for close to 30 years.”
