He explained that he and James started discussing the idea in January, with a
“lunch meeting where me and Kenna met and talked. Then, I came out a few months
later and we met again. You know, all of us went out—Nathan, Kenna, me and Al
[aka Mad Creativity]—and just had dinner. Then, on the flight home I got inspired for
a screenplay. I know it’s not her real story, but kind of loosely based on her career
coming into the industry, going from stripping to coming out [as a performer].”
James said that feature dancing and performing on-camera each have their own
rewards, and she likes being able to choose.
“Honestly, it just depends on the day and depends on the club, really. There are
certain companies that I really adore shooting for—and I get to shout out Alex [Mad
Creativity] and Elegant Angel here—because, truly, they are one of them that I’ve
always loved shooting for, among many, many others,” she said.
“But there are certain clubs that I also really love dancing at. There’s one in San
Diego that’s truly what I call my home club now—it’s Exposé.”
A fenced-off warehouse location had been rented for the three-day shoot, in East
L.A. across the L.A. River from Little Tokyo; the tagged-up buildings and boarded-
up storefronts in the hard-hit area feel like a real-life version of GTA: San Fernando
against a backdrop of the city skyline.
Inside, the sets included an all-red bedroom, a mini strip club with bar, a bathroom
stall, a nook that will serve as an alley, and a dingy studio apartment where you
might live, if you were just starting out as a dancer.
Chura has produced several showcases this year with onstage scenes. He pointed
out a stripper scene in their big summer showcase feature Jennifer White: Hollywood
Whore and, at the end of last year, a burlesque-style sex performance in The Red
Door—An Octavia Red Showcase Film.
Octavia Red was also on-set for the Slutwoman shoot. She and 2025 AVN Female
Performer of the Year Anna Claire Clouds appear in the first scene, as two of a trio of
dancers with MILF star Ryan Keely, who “initiate” James into club life.
Red recalled writing the voiceover for her featurette, The Red Door , noting that
“when you’re watching something to masturbate or to have sex with somebody else,
you don’t necessarily want to constantly be into a dialogue scene—so, what I wanted
was for the scenes to flow, over what was just this sexual, seductive voiceover that
leads you through the story right into the sex scene.”
Clouds had appeared as a dancer in the Jennifer White showcase, and now, in
Slutwoman. All three starlets’ (Red, James and Clouds) are featured in projects this
year for Elegant Angel directed by the cinematographer who goes by the moniker
Mad Creativity.
“I really loved working with him because it was an idea that we had a long time,”
Clouds said of her upcoming feature, which will be titled Shared.
