“I want to get the most extreme and best chemistry I can get.”
Siren Obscura, the seasoned photographer, creative director and cinematographer whose resume includes three AVN magazine covers in 2023, co-directed LucidFlix’s first cinemacore release—which Gamble titled Obscura—along with him.
Episode 1 features Kazumi in “3033”; Episode 2 is Kendra Sunderland in “Nightshade”; the third episode showcases Tru Kait in “Rapture”; and Episode 4 of Obscura captures Ivy Wolfe in “Void.”
“It’s a pretty nice cast,” Gamble says. “I saw the work Siren had been doing with Full Send. She’s incredible and we clicked together really well.”
Meanwhile, the accomplished Hart is the director of photography on LucidFlix’s narrative productions, coming into the project with more than 14 years of experience directing, shooting and editing. He received two nominations for the 2024 AVN Awards—Best Cinematography and Best Screenplay - Featurette for Holly Randall Productions’ “Hopeless.”
“I have two amazing cinematographers,” Gamble says. “Both are also partners with me. I added them on as partners because they’re integral parts of it. The time we’re putting into the content is just beyond my expectations.”
Gamble reveals he had wanted to create his own studio brand for the past year- and-a-half—it was never a matter of if, only when.
“I didn’t know what it was going to be yet,” he recalls. “I like to say there are only a certain amount of elements on the periodic table, I’m just using the chemicals differently.”
A Gamma contract performer/director since 2021, Gamble lauded the Montreal- based company for its support of his new endeavor, reiterating that he’ll still be doing big things for their legacy studio Wicked Pictures.
“They are allowing me to do this and they’ve been nothing but supportive during this whole process,” he says.
Gamble notes there will be subtle differences between the kind of cinemacore he creates for Wicked and what he is doing for LucidFlix.
“It’s never going to be, oh that’s the same shit,” he assures.
On the heels of a career-defining year in 2022, Gamble demonstrated his versatility again in 2023, entering the awards season with 27 nominations for the 41st annual AVN Awards ceremony on January 27 in Las Vegas, achieving a personal best as he embarks on his 18th year in adult entertainment.
“This will be my 15th AVN, I didn’t go when I lived in Florida,” Gamble says. “It’s been a fun ride so far.”
The launch also included the debut episode of Ultimacy—the first V-POV series from LucidFlix. Titled “The Pier,” the scene features Chanel Camryn, a 2024 nominee for AVN Best New Starlet. The second episode of Ultimacy stars AVN Female Performer of the Year nominee Anna Claire Clouds.
