“I’m very blessed with my work I actually
get—not every male talent is in my
position.”
—Parker Ambrose
“I love this industry. I feel like I ran the gamut for four-and-a-half years, five years
here in Los Angeles and never felt that the space that I was in was right and that
I could make a difference in the space or make my voice heard, because in big
production and mainstream, you’re just a cog in a machine,” Obscura said. “And I
feel like my ability to bring something different to the space is really important.”
Also behind the scenes, Jessica Jasmin inherited her role as executive producer at
Wicked after years working with director Axel Braun, the Hall of Fame auteur behind
the legacy studio’s popular superhero parody titles. It was Braun that took Gamble
under his wing as a director, before retiring and entrusting Wicked’s production to
the new generation of filmmakers.
“You know, Seth had this idea for the past two years that he wanted to shoot, and
for me, it was talking about the ’90s era of porn. It’s like, the beginning of the big
stars and the big, big exclusive stars for Wicked as well, so I felt like that was a great
story to tell,” Jasmin said.
“What we’re trying to do with Wicked is, like, we’re very narrative. We’re making
movies here, so, the sex has to have a reason to exist within the narrative of the
movie. But what we try to do is not only that, but to have great sex scene, really
chemistry between the models, people just having fun through the sex scene.
“I think the way to do it is just to make projects like this one right now. Just have
those big projects that people are excited about. You know, like, I think what makes
the difference with Wicked is everybody’s passionate about the content. “Everybody
here is happy, excited to be part of it. And that’s what I need for Wicked, honestly. I
need people that care about the content,” Jasmin added.
