“Her understanding of the performer’s point of
view brings sensitivity and comfort to the set.”
—Jonathan Krogman, managing partner,
MetArt/SexArt
The MetArt exec describes Kiss’s directing style as “both aesthetic and meticulous.”
“Her understanding of the performer’s point of view brings sensitivity and comfort to the set,”
Krogman adds. “And her ability for visual storytelling is superb.”
Kim Parker, head of production for LifeSelector, tells AVN her company has had a “long-
standing partnership” with Kiss.
“We used to work with her regularly in both Budapest and Paris,” Parker says. “She’s truly
one of the most talented performers out there today. In 2024, we began collaborating with her
again—this time, not just because she’s reliable and a total professional, but also because she
brings creative vision and a deep understanding of our interactive POV product.
“Cherry was already very familiar with LifeSelector, so she was genuinely excited to step
behind the camera and start producing girlfriend-experience stories with amazing actresses
like Chloe Amour, Blake Blossom, Hailey Rose and Vanna Bardot.”
Parker continues, “She’s always on top of things, a great communicator— which is absolutely
essential—open-minded and incredibly hard-working. I really admire how professional she is
with both the models and her own production team. We quickly developed a great working
relationship, which has made everything run even more smoothly. I just hope she finds more
time to sleep–she’s practically running 24/7.”
Kiss knows she maintains a hectic schedule but she wouldn’t have it any other way.
For starters, she says her post-production duties often keep her up at night, not to mention
when she gets her first look at her newest scene trailer.
“Sometimes I’ll watch it 30 or 40 times and I have a smile on my face because, hey, we created
this together—yay!” Kiss says.
If there’s one thing she struggles with, it’s determining which activity she enjoys more—
performing or directing.
“This business is like an addiction for me,” Kiss admits.
Vince Karter, the 2025 AVN Male Performer of the Year from Paris, moved to L.A. at the same
time Kiss did in January 2023.
The former real estate project manager broke into adult 14-and-a-half years ago but didn’t
go full time until he moved to Budapest in 2018, when he began to establish himself as one of
the best in the world.
