“There’s one in San Diego that’s truly
what I call my home club now—it’s
Exposé.

“I have worked with big, big artists and their videos were half a mil, and this is the
same level of like attention-to-detail with how much camera we’re doing,” Ochoa
added. “I think, on these, the challenging part is we do a lot more social shooting,
so, we do a lot of stills. On other shoots they never—that’s very rare, so, I think
there’s actually more being done on these sets.
“I’ve always thought you get a pretty good product for the amount of investment
and I don’t know if it’s… It seems like folks that work in this part of the genre it’s
more like a community effort like with the girls. They’re not competitive, they want
everyone to shine… That is the one thing I actually do love,” he said.
AVN Hall of Fame performer Evan Stone wore a jacket made famous in 2005 adult
blockbuster Pirates, as he made a cameo appearance as the owner of “Club Fluff,”
to set up the all-girl scene. Returning from a hiatus for hip surgery, Stone said he
anticipates a full comeback to performing. He posed for stills, surrounded by the
fishnet-clad girl squad of James, Keely, Clouds and Red.
Another legendary Hall of Famer, director James Avalon, had been there since
early morning to shoot camera—some of the still images Ochoa had mentioned.
Avalon’s phone is filled with stills and video clips going back to the mid ’90s. In fact,
his production company was named Hand Cranked Films because, when he started
in production, Avalon had to edit from spools of film and splice movies together by
hand. A few of his hundreds of credits include titles like The Red Vibe Diaries (1997),
Les Vampyres 1 & 2 (2000, 2002) and Roller Dollz (2008).
Most recently, Avalon has directed a new feature for Elegant Angel using green-
screen technology. He explained the futuristic plot: A couple, bored with their
relationship and unbeknownst to each other, end up on the same virtual reality dating
platform where users live out their wildest fantasies through avatars. Of course, the
story takes a twisted turn from there, which Avalon compared to a dystopian take on
the yacht rock ’70s classic known as “The Pina Colada Song.”
Over the years, Avalon has seen his share of starlets and showcases. When asked
what he would call the current era of adult entertainment, he smiled and said, “I’d
call it the ‘Woman Boss Era.’”
