“It was my first time working for
Dorcel, and it was amazing.”
—Riley Reid
Video Marc Dorcel celebrated its production Strip with a private party at the Shag Room
at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas on Thursday night, Jan. 22 with director Ricky Greenwood and
many of the production’s stars in attendance.
“It’s a very good movie, and I’m happy with everybody involved. The cast and crew is
here, and also many people who work for Dorcel,” Greenwood told AVN. “I really feel that
Tommy Pistol’s performance in Strip was amazing. I’ve been directing him for six or seven
years now, in many types of roles, and this was the first time I’ve seen him disappear in a
character. I didn’t see Tommy, I see the strip club owner. I see the struggle of the bar owner
in his performance. I feel that it’s the best performance that he’s done this year.”
Strip also marked the return of Riley Reid. “It was my first time working for Dorcel, and
it was amazing,” she told AVN. My favorite part was probably Tommy Pistol. He is an
amazing person to be on set with, his energy is incredible. He is one of the best actors
in porn. Sometimes he affected my performance in a negative aspect, because I was so
enamored by him, watching him deliver his lines, when it was my turn to respond I forgot
my lines. I was just watching him.
“It was great being back on set. It was beautiful being able to rekindle relationships with
people I knew and be a part of the set life. The makeup artists I haven’t seen in years, the
sound guy I haven’t seen in five-plus years. It was like I was the newcomer. By day two I
was back in the flow. Hopefully, maybe again we’ll do something in the future.”
Attendees included Strip cast members Anna Claire Clouds, Nicole Kitt, Nicole Vaunt,
Ameena Green, and Ken Feels, as well as Lilly Bell, Lana Smalls, Jennifer White, Yhivi, Gal
Ritchie, Kylie Rocket, Octavia Red, Elly Clutch, Shawn Alff—who wrote the screenplay—and
talent manager Mark Spiegler.
Strip emerged as the standout title of the 2026 AVN Awards Show on Jan. 24 at Virgin
Hotels Las Vegas, capturing five trophies including Grand Reel, marking the first time a
European company has won the coveted honor. The historic movie also led to wins for
Best Leading Actor for Tommy Pistol; Best Cinematography (Matt Holder); Best Hair &
Make-Up (Milla Van Damme, Raven Lux, Iggy, Lilith Manson and Alexxx Moon); and Best
Screenplay (Shawn Alff).
“The film’s sweeping success underscores Dorcel’s commitment to cinematic ambition,
bold storytelling and top-tier production values on a global scale,” a Dorcel rep said.
