Fills tells AVN, “We were trying to find best young male talent in the nation and I genuinely think we’re some of the best male talent.”
Max and Hailey left nothing to chance with their choices for who would bring their vision to life, asking seasoned mainstream filmmaker Alias Anderson to call the shots for All or Nothing.
Anderson, who hails from New Zealand, has directed over two dozen films, documentaries, commercials and music videos. He has been working with the couple for the past two years shooting their content—even before they started doing mainstream porn. When he isn’t shooting for Hailey and Max, or other creators, he develops horror and sci-fi projects for his production company.
He brought on his longtime collaborator Jaxson Lens, a veteran Hollywood videographer, to be the director of photography.
Rose tells AVN All or Nothing is a drama that’s “more lighthearted.”
“It’s not supposed to be funny,” Rose says. “I’ve told this story many times on live streams and podcasts but I wanted to bring that to life. This felt true to real life. We kept the dialogue realistic and the wardrobe and settings realistic.”
Anderson adds, “We had to adapt the real story to the inherently short format.”
Hailey’s character pursues all three guys separately without them knowing about it, taking them on one by one before bringing them together for the “main event.”
“I wanted to do something that didn’t feel super porny,” Anderson says. “This was a real story and we are adapting it so it looks real and feels more like a film.”
Born and raised in Orange County, the 25-year-old Rose graduated with a degree in Biology and began working at a science museum teaching an after-school program for third- to fifth-graders before adult. She first dreamed about the possibilities of producing her own movie in 2023.
“It started as this little seed, but I never really imagined myself creating my own performer showcase,” Rose says. “We ended up making something that I am really proud of. All of the scenes are really incredible and I was performing at the top of my capabilities. So I’m excited to share this with my fans, especially the ones who’ve been around from the beginning.”
Hailey continues, “I’m really proud of what we could achieve the first time producing something on this scale with Max and I having zero experience—and a lot of that goes out to [Alias].”
“I’m super impressed with how this played out,” Fills says. “We brought this thing together so quickly and did this really professionally. I’ve shot 200 scenes at this point for a ton of companies and this is by far the most serious set I’ve been on.
“Everything went so smoothly.”
Anderson agrees.
“I feel great about what we did from a technical level,” he says. “I’m very excited to
see what the fans think.”
