After just three years in adult, Lena
Kelly can lay claim to a major milestone:
She’s the first trans performer to direct
a movie for adult studio Evil Angel. The
studio, home to genre pioneer Joey
Silvera, is a leading producer of trans
erotica.
An AVN Award nominee for 2019
Trans Performer of the Year, Kelly is
known for creating her own content.
She started her own website a couple
of years ago and also shoots for clip
sites, including ManyVids.
“I just found myself writing scripts
and getting involved in camera work
while I was performing,” Kelly says.
She’s “interested in the gear” and also
pays close attention to “each director’s
philosophy and the way they run their
sets. … So it was really natural for me
to start directing.”
