CASEY CALVERT
MAKES DIRECTING DEBUT FOR DIGITAL PLAYGROUND WITH ‘MIND GAMES’
AVN Award-winning director/performer Casey Calvert made her directorial debut for Digital Playground in August with the new feature Mind Games.
According to a company synopsis, ”Sophia Locke plays Liz, a sex therapist who makes a serious mistake fooling around with her handsome new patient Devin (Xander Corvus). A therapy session to address his chronic infidelity quickly turns into a steamy sexual encounter against her professional judgment. Enter Alice (Chloe Surreal), Devin’s seemingly perfect wife, who witnesses the encounter and will stop at nothing to save her marriage. Alice lures Liz into an uncontrollable spiral of intense sexual delusion, culminating in a shocking conclusion that will leave fans begging for more.”
“I had a phenomenal time working on Mind Games,” Locke said. ”The cast, crew and script were all top-notch. I think the fans will be as excited as I was to really delve into the mix of sexy, fascinating and psychotic characters.”
Echoed Corvus, “One of the best movies I’ve worked on. The actors, the crew and the script were fantastic. Casey is an artist, just such a brilliant human being. The chemistry and tension with everyone I shared scenes with was incredible.”
For her part, Calvert offered, “I’m so excited for the release of my first film as a director for Digital Playground! Mind Games is an experiment into a different genre of adult film for me, and quite a challenge. I can’t wait for people to watch.”
“We were so happy to have the opportunity to work with Casey,” said a DP rep. “As a director she knows how to tell strong, character-driven stories. This twisty psychological thriller definitely put her talents to great use. The cast were all incredibly committed in their roles, we can’t wait for fans to see Mind Games!”
