“I’m just an artist and I want to do whatever I want.”
Jia received a 2023 AVN Award nomination for Best Actress - Featurette for her performance in the scintillating “Date” on Parasited.com.
In the elaborate scene that was shot in Budapest, Jia welcomes her co-star Mark Zane over to her place for wine and a horror movie for their third date, but things take a dark and twisted turn when Jia gets “Parasited” and then she can’t control what happens next.
“Every time I come to [Romero’s] production I step up,” Jia says. “It’s very unique emotions because I remember the first time I come to his set and he said, ‘Play like you’re scared. Play like an alien stole you and you’re on a spaceship.’
“It’s very good practice. It’s not that easy. Or ‘play that you are possessed by a spirit—a parasite just entered your body.’”
Jia at press time had almost 20 credits just for Hentaied alone, including several for her signature series, Jiology Lab, where experiments are performed that sometimes involve tentacle mutations and cloning herself.
“I’ve been working with Romero since the start of his production,” Lissa says. “I was basically his second scene. And because I work so much with him I kind of could see how his style elevated. And I was studying acting with him. He would give me to write my own monologues.
“In a lot of the scenes—the dialogue, I wrote it myself. Like the Jiology Lab. It came out from my fans’ jokes because I made up Jiology signs and I would do OnlyFans videos where I would teach them Jiology.
“I sometimes have a monologue for three or five minutes. It’s a must-watch. I shot some new ones, I’m not sure they’re out yet.”
Romero tells AVN that he would not be surprised to see Jia “in a Hollywood movie soon.”
“Any words I say about Jia Lissa won’t do justice to her talent,” Romero says. “Jia is one of my closest collaborators, and working with her is a delight. She’s one of a kind, the funniest and quirkiest in the room, and the alpha in the locker.
“I first met Jia as a musician and artist, and we produced some songs together last year. Working on a porn set with her gave me the same feeling of creative flow. I remember a moment where I wrote a song, and it took me four days to record all the instruments and structure. When I showed her what I had, she took the base and in about 40 minutes, she came up with lyrics, a melody, and was ready to record. The song was brilliant, and she’s an amazing singer with a creative mind.”
