“We have an idea of what it is, but she’s got to get into character and find it.” —Chef, director, on Sybil Raw
It was when she stepped onto Chef’s set in 2018 for a scene with Jason Luv for Blacked Raw that she realized how much fun porn could be. Then in 2021 she noticed Chef was in Budapest shooting content, so she reconnected with him for another memorable experience.
Fast forward to January 2022, when she called Chef again suggesting they collaborate. A week later, he arrived in Budapest and they created Sybil Raw.
“The idea is to just have fucking fun and not treat it like it’s so serious,” Chef tells me. “We’re fucking. We get paid to do this and we get to run around do whatever the fuck we want. It’s the best job in the world.”
A native of LA, Chef brought his filmmaking talent to adult 12 years ago—the last seven of which have been on a commercial basis—after traveling the world shooting mainstream movies and commercials for 18 years.
He’s a member of the Directors Guild of America and half of the notorious porn directing duo known as Disciples of Desire—along with fellow LA native Stepbrother Chad.
Tonight’s crew consists only of Chef and Chad—and a snake handler named Claudius who goes by the nickname, The Snakefather.
Claudius brought three reticulated pythons to the hotel for the photos with Sybil and Liz. They decide to model with the snake named Butter, a two-year-old that is 7 feet long and weighs 15 pounds.
“She has a lot more growing to do,” Claudius says. “This is one of the largest species of snakes in the world. They get well over 20 feet long.”
Claudius reveals that he owns 64 snakes from five different species that are all different colors and sizes. He supplies them for photoshoots, seminars, music videos and private events, such as Kazumi’s wild birthday party a few days ago.
“These are raised in captivity so they’re used to human interaction,” Claudius adds.
Chef tells me that adding a narrative element to Sybil Raw first came to life on the streets of Budapest, Hungary.
“It’s a continuation from Europe, except now with the English-speaking girls we can tell a bigger story,” he explains.
Back in LA, Daddy Sybil runs the city with a sidekick named Thugger (Air Thugger), who today has the night off.
A couple days ago, she pulled a knife and stabbed a trick played by veteran director Stills by Alan, leaving him laying on the sidewalk covered in fake blood.
All the Sybil Raw dialogue is unscripted.
