“She is super crazy, but we love her
also for that.”

Vixen Media Group contract director Derek Dozer, the AVN Hall of Fame shooter who won
Best Directing - Individual Work at the 2024 AVN Awards, says, “Cherry is one of my favorite
performers to work with for sure.”
“We have nice chemistry together that comes out in our work,” says Dozer, who captured many
of the images for this feature, including the cover photo. “It’s nice to have a connection with
your model and to be on the same page when it comes to what we both are trying to achieve.
“I love her fun personality which makes it that much easier on set. And when everyone’s having
fun on set and lighthearted, it’s awesome. We’ve created some really hot scenes together.”
Panta, who is Cherry’s Serbia-based editor and dear friend, met Kiss during their college days
about 15 years ago before they began working together around 2020. He edited Cumming to
L.A. for Kiss.
“She has a good approach to different characters and makes them work together as an
effective team and fun is always guaranteed,” Panta tells AVN. “We know each other more
than we work together, which means we know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and we
push each other forward.
“It means a lot when you can work with someone you can trust.”
Meanwhile, the Budapest-based production veteran JJ Junior first met Cherry in 2014 on set,
but he didn’t join her crew until after COVID.
“First I did camerawork for her OnlyFans and after we started to shoot for clients like Evil Angel
and Private,” JJ tells AVN. “For both companies we did gonzo scenes, what we loved to shoot.
“Cherry has lots of energy on set what you don’t experience anywhere else. She loves what
she’s doing and she is one of the best in the industry. We worked very well together because
she has the idea and I can understand her vision and make it into reality on set.”
JJ started out as a PA in 2011, working his way up to be a photographer/cinematographer/
director/producer in the last 14 years with clients that include Playboy Plus.
“In mainstream productions the director and the director of photography should be on the
same page in order to make it work and we always understood each other,” Junior adds.
Cherry reached another milestone this past January, when she was part of the massive ad
campaign for the 2025 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo.
She says seeing her larger-than-life images inside the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas casino and
hallways—and on taxis and billboards—was a gratifying moment.
“I was so happy. I made so many pictures,” Cherry says. “Even my mom said that it’s very nice.
“Having the support for maybe the first time from my parents—they truly respect this business
and I see that, I feel that—it changes a lot for me.
“I’m getting always emotional when I talk about my family. I want to bring my parents and my
family more often here.”
