“I’m super grateful for all
the really cool work I’ve been
getting. I feel like everything’s
been paying off.”
Maya Kendrick reveals she was a late replacement
when she got the call for a scene that entailed spending
several hours butt naked inside a plastic bubble with porn
beefcake Derrick Pierce.
What unfolded that day can be seen in an episode of
Future Darkly, available on Adult Time—the subscription
platform created by Bree Mills and Gamma Films.
“Maya Kendrick will easily be one of our breakout
actresses this year across Adult Time,” Mills tells AVN.
A seasoned gonzo performer, Kendrick admits that was
all she ever watched before she got into the industry.
“Like oil in a kiddie pool porn,” she jokes. “But I feel like
it was almost because I didn’t think I’d ever be good at
acting. And then I’m like, ‘I didn’t realize you could just
do both.’ I shot for Aiden Riley for the first time last week,
which was super exciting because he was one of my
favorite directors before even getting into the industry.”
Kendrick says her three-year anniversary in adult this
month has her feeling like her best is yet to come.
“I’m super grateful for all the really cool work I’ve been
getting,” she says. “Everything’s been paying off ... I’m
stepping into more of a prime. I feel like the first two years
were kind of just practice.”
That practice includes more than 160 performing credits
across just about every genre. She now self-books and

Kendrick points to producer/director/performers such
as Dana Vespoli and Joanna Angel as “role models” who
have created strong brands. “Joanna Angel is kind of the
icon for me in terms of building everything on her own,”
Kendrick said, adding, “The long-term goal is to somehow
do one-tenth of what she did.”
