Greenwood has re-assembled
the same cast from last year’s
Confessions of a Sinful Nun, which
racked up seven AVN Awards
nominations including Best Drama.
The Rise of Sister Mona is the
second part of a trilogy that he
planted the seeds for in the first
production. “When we did the first
movie, it was a crazy idea I pitched
and they weren’t sure—‘It’s got
religion, maybe people will get
offended, difficult to sell, maybe
people won’t want to see nuns
having sex...’—but they finally said,
‘You know what, if you want to do it,
do it. We’ll see how it goes.’ We did
it. People loved it, people bought
it. When I made it, I had in mind a
trilogy. It wasn’t that obvious, but
in this one there’s a definite to-be-
continued. I call this one my Empire
Strikes Back, because everything
goes wrong for the main character
[played by Charlotte Stokely].
“I think people will like it. I try
my best to pair the performers
together, like Nina and Magdalene.
I like the idea of having different
bodies, different ages. It would be
easy to go older-nun-younger-nun,
but we ask them to trust us and go
on that journey. If you liked the first
one, you’ll like this one.”
“The whole point of this is
cosplay,” says Stokely, reprising
her role as sinful nun Sister
Charlotte. “My habit is tied, it’s
taped, it’s safety-pinned and it
has buttons. I like to add an extra
safety pin so it stays on super-tight
because if my hair pokes out from
underneath, that’s not very proper
as a nun. The safety pin also keeps
“I like the idea of having different bodies,
different ages. ”
it on during the sex scenes, because if your habit comes off during a sex
scene you’re not really a nun any more. The whole point of this porn is the
cosplay. They want to see nuns doing bad things.
“I love playing this role again, because I’ve watched her evolve as a
person and a Catholic woman,” Stokely muses. “When she first came here,
she was content and happy, dedicating her life to God. She wasn’t as open
with her sexuality, but she was okay with sexuality happening. She knew
other girls were doing it.”
Kenna James is a new addition to the ensemble: “I play a new sister in
this convent who is very naïve and very sweet, and feels what she thinks is
love for Charlotte—but it’s just desire. It’s a little overwhelming to join as a
new person, It makes you a little nervous. I hope I can live up to the high
expectations that the prior movie has set. I’m happy to have been offered
a role in this movie. When I was reading the script, I never saw the ending
coming.”
Mona Wales returns as Sister Mona. “It’s The Rise of Sister Mona, so I’m
the titular role,” she grins, putting a twist on the first syllable of “titular.”
“In the first Confessions, I was an evil cunt, terrorizing everyone. Nina
and I had a breaking up so I went all dark on the inside. I got sent away to
abbess jail and got tortured. It’s good to play the character again. Sister
