MISHA MONTANA & SAMANTHA MACK
NAMED DIRECTORS FOR ALT EROTIC
AltErotic.com, a leader in the production of alternative
adult films featuring top tattooed and pierced stars,
has announced Misha Montana and Samantha Mack
as the studio’s newest in-house directors.
“We are revamping the company a bit with more
of a women’s touch… we feel like adding a female
perspective to the team is crucial,” said Ivan, Alt Erotic’s
CEO/creative director. “Both ladies are doing the
booking and scene prepping as well as directing and
helping in the edit bay to create their unique vision.”
Montana’s first big directing project is a four-part
series entitled GlamGonz, which she describes
as “beautiful, classy porn stars getting completely
ravaged in hardcore gonzo scenes. I personally love
the old- school performers of the ‘80s/’90s and the raw,
passionate style of gonzo mixed with heavy glam. We
are currently in production now and I can’t wait to bring
the final product.”
She adds that “I have wanted to add feminine
energy to leadership in porn since I first decided to
join the industry; it is so important to me that women
get representation in such a male-dominated industry.
When Ivan and the team approached me to be Chief
Brand Officer of Alt Erotic, I was ecstatic. When they
asked me to direct some projects for them, I was over
the moon! I’ve always wanted to direct and I have so
many ideas I’ve wanted to bring to the world.”
Mack is currently in mid-production on a three-way-
themed original feature, Lewd, Screwed and Tattooed,
and asserts that “it is rare in any genre of the film industry
to get an opportunity to have true creative freedom;
after MackMovies partnered with Alt Erotic this past
fall I have worked side-by-side with Ivan on multiple
projects and learned that with ambition and good old-
fashioned elbow grease, nothing is impossible.
“Alt Erotic is a company that’s known for its wild
creativity that pushes the boundaries of porn’s social
norms as we’ve come to know them. Ivan is extremely
generous with his knowledge; through his tutelage and
friendship, I now feel like a baby bird being pushed out
of the nest. He has fully prepared me to turn my ideas
into reality on the silver screen; I’m grateful to get the
opportunity to direct, but even more grateful for this
incredible crew I get to work with day in and day out.”
