Press Release / Announcement
Spearmint Rhino Companies and Ninn Worx Media

                                                     
It is with true excitement that the behemoth organization Spearmint Rhino Companies announces it has joined forces with the unmatched adult film producer Ninn Worx Media group to give birth to the new company Ninn Worx SR, Inc. and thereby provide the World an adult entertainment empire the likes of which has never before been witnessed.

Spearmint Rhino likely is the highest grossing upscale gentlemen’s club chain in history.  Combined annual sales are approaching $200 million and the companies employ more than 2,000 hourly/salaried individuals and retains more than 6,000 entertainers/dancers under current contract that perform on their club stages around the world.  Club locations in United Kingdom include Glasgow Scotland, 3 in Birmingham, London, Sheffield, Brighton, Slough, Bournemouth and Norwich.  The companies maintain offices in the UK at Spearmint Rhino Ventures UK, Ltd., 161 Tottenham Court Road, London, England W1T 7NN.  The company retains further club locations in Toronto, Canada and in Australia in the Cities of Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Adelaide.  In the States the companies retain clubs throughout California including in the Cities of Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Van Nuys (3 locations), North Hollywood, Downtown Los Angeles, Torrance, Arcadia, City of Industry and Rialto.  And the Company retains clubs outside of California in Boise Idaho, Las Vegas Nevada, Albuquerque New Mexico, West Palm Beach Florida, Dallas Texas and Lexington Kentucky.  Further, the Companies even retain several adult bookstore retail locations including the Spearmint Rhino Adult Superstore in City of Industry, California.

Spearmint Rhino brings synergy to the group via its unmatched existing financial strength and muscle within the adult entertainment world.  Spearmint Rhino currently retains resources including several in-house CPA accounting executives, a in-house legal department, a large IT staff which maintains in-house web, programming, back of house, sales and related systems, a full graphic arts department, a construction and architectural design division and a full film studio with state of the art equipment headed by now in-house Carl Wachter (the famous long time staff Penthouse photographer).

Needless to say Spearmint Rhino’s possible talent pool is simply unmatched anywhere on the planet.  Most interesting are the facts that Spearmint Rhino annually spends more on adult film actresses to appear on their stages as feature dances than all the large film producers spend on exclusive talent contracts combined.  Spearmint Rhino for many years has averaged over 50 billboards in California alone, retains top mainstream publicist and spends many millions of dollars annually across a vast and diverse marketing and advertising plan from sides of taxi cabs on the streets of London to formula one race car sponsorships in Monte Carlo, from televisions and cable advertising to so very many tabloids and press adverts - all of which is already being expended for the clubs benefit and thus Spearmint Rhino is perfectly positioned to launch the career of the next adult film superstar on a promotional scale of which has not been realized even by the likes of Jenna Jamieson’s career.

At the other side of this historic merging is simply the greatest adult film director, writer, producer, cinematographer, production designer and art director to have worked in the industry.  Michael Ninn has won more awards than anyone, yet has never stood on a stage to accept one.  He is responsible for the productions Catherine, Neo Pornographia, Rapture, Scared Sin, Fem Dolce, Exposed, Pop, Solo Erotica, Becoming Georgia Adair, In the Garden of Shadows, Porn Star, Euroglam, Dream Catcher, Decadence, Latex, Shock and 100’s more.  The existing catalog approximates 120 titles without hybrids (compilations).  Most plainly said – he is an artist.  All one needs to do is take 5 minutes of their time and play a small piece of a DVD from any non-Michael Ninn adult production  – and then pop in Ninn’s Catherine or Sacred Sin for 5 minutes.  The truth and difference is all too apparent and no words need to further be exhausted.  Ninn is a mainstream director consumed by the adult film world for which he has triumphed in his one of a kind vision.  Ninn Worx by no means the largest producer or distributor, has made its mark via unmatched art form and unique product production.  Michael Ninn himself is an extremely forthright and straight shooting guy from New York who simply does what he says and no one has anything bad to say about him – which is an enigma in this industry in and of itself. Michael born 1953 is a great father and more than 15-year life partner to his significant other “Q”.  Michael has relocated his residence to Rancho Cucamonga to be close to Ninn Worx SR Norco, California facilities where Michael will create his magic from here forth and call home. Accordingly, Ninn Worx previous Chatsworth location has now effectively been relocated to Spearmint Rhino’s extensive facilities in Norco as detailed below. In the move, along with Michael comes his entire sales, accounting and warehouse staff. Michael can be contacted at ninn@michaelninn.com and Q at support@michaelninn.com

John L. Gray born 1957 is the Chairman and CEO of the Spearmint Rhino group.  He is married to the renown and highly awarded and respected adult film star Dyanna Lauren (for those wandering what Dyanna looks like these days – attached are several photos most recently taken of Dyanna at her Newport home by Carl Wachter).  John and Dyanna have been together for 8 years and have 3 children and maintain their primary residence in Newport Beach, California with further residences in Arizona, Nevada, Norco and London, England.  Dyanna will serve as the CEO of Ninn Worx in this undertaking and be the face and spokesperson for Ninn Worx SR, Inc. Dyanna can be contacted at dgray@spearmintrhino.com John can be contacted at jgray@spearmintrhino.com

The mechanics of this merger are simple.  Ninn Worx Media, Inc and Spearmint Rhino Companies Worldwide, Inc. have come together and formed a new company known as Ninn Worx SR, Inc. This new company has acquired 100% ownership of the existing Ninn Worx Media entity and stock at the new entity level has been issued to the benefit of a combination of John Gray and Michael Ninn.  In the process Ninn Worx Media prior facilities have been relocated to be under the same roof as Spearmint Rhino corporate offices in Norco, California. 

Film Production slated is a minimum of 24 all new titles annually commencing immediately including at minimum one mega production for an annual award sweeping effort. 

Ninn is now keeping his eyes wide open for four (4) exclusive contract stars which will be afforded history breaking deals and for which one of these four – the most outstanding of which – will benefit from full company efforts to launch her name into household word stardom.  Needless to say – budget constraints on film productions do not exist as typical.  Returns on production investment unlike any other film company is not weighed alone by pieces sold or other relevant direct income – but rather also by the marketing, advertising and promotional result benefits for the huge Spearmint Rhino club chain and thus record breaking budgets can be afforded for selected larger productions in a manner than cannot be matched or justify by any other company.

Woodman Entertainment Sets the VIP Room Ablaze and Triumphs at the 60th Cannes Film Festival.

Barcelona, Spain. May 25th, 2007. Woodman Entertainment the innovative new adult entertainment brand dedicated to delivering a unique combination of high class, uncompromised hardcore content across all available delivery platforms, rocked Cannes on the evening of Monday May 21st as Pierre Woodman presented the 46 amazing beauties from across eastern Europe who will perform in his next mega production this summer, including the 3 exclusive contract girls Caylian Curtis, Divinity Love and Nessa Devil. Woodman Entertainment played host to the hottest party in town at Cannes' famed VIP Room venue, returning the kind of sophisticated sexiness not seen on the Croisette since the days of the Hot d'Or.

Hollywood celebrities and famous faces from the international world of cinema, top sporting names, and prominent figures from the business world, joined Pierre's party along with his old friends from the adult industry such as French porn mogul Marc Dorcel, clients and press. The guests packed Woodman Entertainment's exclusive VIP zone and partied the night away while disco-goers watched on in envious delight from the 4000 person capacity public area below, just dreaming of being in the exclusive area with Pierre Woodman and his girls.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Ninn Worx has set a May 30 street date for Kinky Cock Tales, an arty, vignette-style hardcore feature produced by UK-based studio Jazmin Media. The title is the first of several DVDs slated to hit the market this year through a distribution deal between the two companies.

"We're a very new label, and Kinky Cock-Tales is our first proper release across all markets from DVD to broadcasting," director Jazmin Jones told AVN. "It's very raunchy and hard, but at the same time it's sugarcoated in a way that makes it sweet on the surface. There's a lot of intensity and real passion between the characters, which is quite retro and different from the hard gonzo type sex you get in movies now."

Kinky Cock-Tales stars European adult performers Stacy Silver, Daria Glower, Natalli DiAngelo, Kia Winston, Tarra White, Victoria Rose, Sandra, Ashley Robins, ZoeNeeo, JJ, Thomas Hyka, Wein Levis, Thomas Lee, Roland and Justin Corner. The movie's vignettes are framed by a linking device in which six writers discuss their erotic fantasies - an idea Jones said she got from a real-life experience.

"I went to a dinner party a year and a half ago, and six of us ended up sitting around the dinner table with several bottles of wine, and the conversation gravitated toward sex," Jones recalled. "I ended up knowing things about friends I never suspected. One of the guests at the dinner is a sex therapist friend of mine, and I found out that she holds regular discussion groups at a popular café in London. I ended up going to one particular group on erotic story writing, which was a bit like telling someone your bizarre, surreal dreams. The experience stayed with me for a while, so I toyed around with it and wondered if it could be translated into a film, and the end result is Kinky Cock-Tales." 

Jazmin Media's work has caused a stir even among the jaded Ninn Worx staff, according to director and company head Michael Ninn. "Some call it Triple X MTV, while others consider it much more 'retro' in its honest and visually raw approach to sex," Ninn said. "A few try to label it as a traditional high production-value release, and then just as quickly proceed to bring up various examples of how the scenes are distinct for the normal adult format. Kinky Cock-Tales affected them all quite differently."

"We couldn't have asked for a better home for our films than with Ninn Worx," added Jones. "Playboy wanted to snap up our films and offered us a very tempting deal, but we decided we didn't want to sell our films to them exclusively; we wanted to put feelers out on the marketplace. We were offered deals by other major players; whoever we showed the films to wanted them, from Hustler to Pure Play, but they were all very corporate in their approach. Michael runs his business like a family, and so do we."

Jazmin Media is currently in post-production on its third release, Photo Erotica.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Ninn Worx has added Otto Bauer's company Supercore Productions to its distribution roster. 

"We have been looking for a label that would fit the Ninn Worx image, yet caters more to the wall to wall and gonzo audience, and with Otto and Audrey's Filth Factory, we found the right combination of raw sexuality and style to fulfill that need," said company president Michael Ninn. "Otto recently approached us with his vision of Supercore Productions and it was a no-brainer to take on his production company's product for distribution."

The deal includes rights to 41 Supercore movies which Bauer acquired from his former distributor Mach 2 last month. These catalog titles include Triple Threat, Anal X-Cess, Rough & Ready and X-Treme Violation and other series.

Ninn Worx will handle universal broadcasting and DVD rights for Supercore effective immediately, with the first of Bauer's catalog titles due in stores June 6. The first all-new Supercore Productions release will be a continuation of the Filth Factory series, which Ninn Worx introduced in February 2007.

"I've been given many big dollar offers from a lot of adult distributors to carry my Supercore Productions products, but I really wanted to align with Ninn Worx, as Michael has been such a great man to work with and their imprint carries a lot of weight and prestige in our industry," Bauer said. 

"It's important to me that Supercore be 100 percent under my control," continued Bauer, "but I still want the ability to have my distributor do some of the stuff that I just don't have time to do while I'm shooting and doing the thousands of other things I do. Ninn Worx is completely down with that and gives me the power to run my own company as I see fit, while maintaining the kind of support system that a new company needs to grow. Ninn Worx is picky about what they will and won't carry, and Michael knew that our Supercore product will sell well under his brand, as was shown with the Neo Pornographia and Filth Factory titles."

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Ninn Worx is now shipping the latest entry in director Michael Ninn's all-girl FEM line, FEM Staccato. 

Ninn Worx' newest contract girl Jana Jordan and Renee Perez share top billing in the stylish Sapphic title. The 20-year-old newcomer Jordan — who inked the exclusive deal with Ninn Worx in February — has only shot a handful of titles for the company so far.

FEM: Staccato co-stars Karlie Montana, Samantha Ryan, Carli Banks, Andie Valentino, Celeste Star, Marlie Moore, Lena Nicole and Charmaine Star.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Ninn Worx has added UK-based studio Jazmin Media to its distribution roster, signing an exclusive worldwide deal to release the British company's titles in all formats.

"There are a lot of similarities between what Jazmin does, and what I do with all of my projects," said Ninn Worx president Michael Ninn. "There is a lot of interplay between the music, the sex and the overall direction my movie will ultimately take. That isn't defined only by a music-driven project like Sacred Sin, it is in every production that I direct and edit. Jazmin Media's titles fit very well with the overall Ninn Worx brand in that respect. They also shoot pretty movies that are raunchy and don't leave you feeling like you've blown your chance to get off by watching it."

Run by the husband-wife team of Jazmin Jones and Marcus Lawson, Jazmin Media specializes in stylized, music video-style hardcore fare. The company's credits include a six-part series for Playboy TV UK entitled Every Six Seconds.

"We are thrilled to have found Ninn Worx as a home for Jazmin Media, as Michael has a very similar philosophy to ours, Jones said. "We consider our approach to be one of 'boutique erotica' centering on hand-crafted films. So, at this stage we are making 3 or 4 films a year with every film being unique. Ninn Worx has given me total creative freedom. I have very ambitious plans for future films that are even more story-driven, employing bigger budgets, and progressing into new territories crossing genres such as a period fantasy, industrial gothic, or an alt/indie title. I will never lose that passion for pushing the creative boundaries."

Jones has worked on projects with clothiers, producers and promoters of European fetish clubs including the famous Torture Garden. An accomplished musician, she composes the soundtrack music for Jazmin Media's video projects.

"When the initial script is written, I am always aware of the importance music will play in the final edit, Jones said. "I write much of the music before hand - as I know the mood I am trying to achieve with the story. It's not an after thought but an integral element of the initial design of the project. Along with the outfits, the sex, make-up and locations, the music is just as important. Then, at the editing stage, Marcus and I edit the sex scenes around the music. This is something that I saw in Michael Ninn's titles and that ultimately established the rapport between Michael and me, leading to the decision to sign with Ninn Worx for our distribution."

Ninn Worx plans to release three Jazmin Media productions per year. The first of these titles, Kinky Cock-Tales, streets on May 23 and is available for pre-order now.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Ninn Worx has announced a special promotion for distributors and retailers in conjunction with its U.S. release of Pierre Woodman's big-budget European costume epic XCalibur.

In other company news, the fourth installment of director Michael Ninn's Double Penetration series streets this week. Featuring AVN award-winner Katsumi on the box cover, the eight-scene hardcore DVD also stars Vanessa Hill, Anna Karin, Dillan Lauren, Rita Faltoyano, Kelly Taylor, Rita Faltoyano and Nikita Denise, among others.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Contract starlet Jana Jordan will make her Ninn Worx screen debut in House of Jana, releasing on Wednesday. All of Jordan's fantasies come true with her willing playmates: Renee Perez, Lena Nicole, Alana Langford, Alexis Love, Tiffany Sweet, Carli Banks and Marlie Moore.

Shot in three days at an ultra-modern Hollywood Hills mansion, the all-girl hardcore epic takes a documentary-style approach to its star.

"It's rare for a newcomer to the adult industry to be willing to take charge and really turn in intense and sexually-charged scenes when they are still working on getting their equilibrium in this business," said Ninn Worx President and director Michael Ninn. "Jana came on with the confidence and poise…every one on the set was in awe of her composure and the heat that she brought to every scenario. Jana brought me her own fantasies, and I let her guide the entire shoot."

The twenty year old Jordan, a Texas native, signed on with the production company in March. The blonde beauty caught Ninn's eye, and he set up a meeting/photo shoot with her. But once he saw the results, Ninn knew she was contract material.

Jordan will be starring in at least four features for Ninn Worx, and will appear in about a dozen other Ninn Worx projects over the term of her contract.

LOS ANGELES - Woodman Entertainment and Ninn Worx have launched their new collaborative website, featuring the Woodman Premier label feature, Xcalibur, as well as the company's forthcoming offerings.

Visitors will find news, biographies on Woodman's contract performers and directors, production schedules and release information on all of Woodman Entertainment's products. Inside, members can access Hi-Def trailers, galleries and exclusive downloads.

"This site has been a pleasure to create," said Ninn Worx President Michael Ninn. "Woodman Entertainment encompasses such a diverse esthetic, yet it can all be condensed into one powerful artistic statement of strength and durability. [Woodman CEO] Pierre [Woodman] has lived fifteen years on the frontline of adult entertainment, as have I. That's durability, and requires a lot of strength in your product."

"I have huge respect for Michael's work," said Woodman. "His creative talent and business acumen are a combination that gives me the greatest confidence in the future of the Woodman brand in North America, and the online marketing campaign that he is developing is just another example that the collaboration between Ninn Worx and Woodman Entertainment is a winning combination."

Ninn Worx has scheduled to release the Woodman Premier's Xcalibur Part 1 on May 16.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Ninn Worx is now shipping the latest entry in its 'Innocence' line, entitled Innocence: Brat. Directed by Halle Vanderhyden, the title arrives in stores Wednesday, April 11.

Innocence: Brat features youthful porn newcomers in vignettes geared toward their their individual personalities. A Ninn Worx press release promises, "every one of these little minxes pout, tease and torment their partner into lusty retribution for their bratty antics." 

Innocence: Brat stars Renee Perez, Alana Langford, Sasha Grey, Angela Stone, Alexis Love, Jamie Elle, Jay Lassiter, Marco Banderas, Nick Manning, Sascha and Scott Nails.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Ninn Worx and Woodman Entertainment have signed an exclusive agreement under which Ninn Worx will assume distribution of all Woodman Entertainment titles in North America.

Company owner Pierre Woodman and the Woodman Entertainment stable of directors will release new titles to the U.S. market exclusively through Ninn Worx, beginning with the Xcalibur trilogy, starring Woodman contract girl, Caylian Curtis, to be released under the 'X Premium' label in May 2007.

"Woodman Entertainment has brought so much to the table," said director and Ninn Worx founder, Michael Ninn. "Not only am I honored to be carrying the work of Pierre Woodman, but Woodman Entertainment has been expanding out in many very interesting directions that dovetail nicely with the products and lines that Ninn Worx has been moving into."

Ninn Worx will also carry the production company's Woodman Film series of hardcore features, including The Perfectionist, featuring Woodman Entertainment's newest contract performer, Nessa Devil coming in November of this year.

"There are new lines that will be introduced under our distribution agreement, including a new Woodman Entertainment feature line, and series that will address fetish and ethnic titles from the Pierre Woodman perspective," continued Ninn.

Woodman Entertainment's lines include David Perry's hard-edged Anal Gate, Philippe Soine's alternative Games of Perversion, U.S. director Ricky Wrecker's Sex Carnage, and Pierre Woodman's SeXXXotica.

"It is a great pleasure to be announcing our North American distribution agreement with Ninn Worx," said Woodman. "I have [always] had a huge [amount of] respect for Michael Ninn and his unique style of work, and it is an honor to be united with a creative force of his caliber. I cannot think of a better seal of approval to accompany my work into the North American market."

"The North American market is a key market in the success of any adult company, and in order to dominate it, the choice of partner is a determining factor," added Woodman's sales and marketing director, Davide Savina. "The brand strength and reputation for quality which Michael Ninn has established since founding Ninn Worx leaves me in no doubt that this exclusive distribution agreement offers Woodman Entertainment the most secure foothold possible within North America."

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - On Wednesday, Ninn Worx will release Meet Heather, a vehicle for the company's new contract star Heather Vandeven. The title features the Penthouse Pet of the Year in hardcore girl/girl scenes and candid interviews, shot exclusively for this release.

In Meet Heather, director and company owner Michael Ninn sets the Los Angeles native up on a balcony overlooking the Hollywood Hills to reminisce about her new contract with the production company. At the time of the interview, Heather hadn't yet learned that she had been chosen the 2006 Penthouse Pet of the Year, as she discusses the Pet of the Year contest specifics.

The movie also includes footage from Heather's scenes in Ninn Worx titles such as Sacred Sin and Aperture, completely re-edited and re-mastered in High Definition. 

The 5-foot-8, hazel-eyed, Dutch beauty — who signed an exclusive deal with Ninn Worx in July — arrived in adult with a mainstream background that ranges from independent film roles to infomercials and numerous appearances in high-profile music videos.

Joining Heather in her girl/girl romps are Selina Draagen, Nevaeh, A.J. Bailey, Angie Savage, Karli Montana, Zoe Britton, Kelly Kline, and Justine Joli.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Ninn Worx will unveil a website for its newest contract star, Jana Jordan, during the starlet's debut stop on Playboy Radio's "Night Calls" on Monday.

"I've been looking forward to doing a big launch of JanaJordan.com," said Jordan. "[Ninn Worx owner and director] Michael Ninn and I have put a lot of time into making it a very personal experience for all of the wonderful people that have been sending me e-mails and asking for more sexy pictures of me and my friends.

"Playboy graciously invited me to do a 'Night Calls' session with them, and it all came together at just the right time to introduce my website to the Playboy audience," said Jordan.

"We've really gone all out for JanaJordan.com," said Ninn. "This is one of the most ambitious sites we've put together for one of our contract girls, and Jana has been involved in every step of the process. This website is just like Jana; hot, sexy and filled with many surprises that are going to blow away members. Jana plans to do web cam shows and chats, because she really loves meeting all kinds of people. She is a sexual adventuress and her personality is perfectly suited to this type of interactive venture."

Playboy Radio's "Night Calls" is available to all Sirius Radio between the hours of 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. P.S.T. Jana Jordan's interview is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. on Monday. Visit playboyradio.com for more information.

Among other features Jordan said her site will feature profile services, daily diary updates, streaming video as well as live cam and chat.

CHATSWORTH ,Calif. - Director Michael Ninn has finished shooting House of Jordan, the contractual debut of his new Ninn Worx starlet Jana Jordan.

"Jana is dynamite," Ninn told AVN.com. "She's got the most incredible personality, and she really comes alive in front of the camera. The movie is an exploration of who she is and what she's about sexually."

Shot in three days at an ultra-modern Hollywood Hills mansion, the all-girl hardcore epic takes a documentary-style approach to its star. "The whole show revolves around Jana; she's in all five sex scenes," Ninn said. "It's kind of a hybrid [of genres]. The movie jumps from behind-the-scenes interviews with Jana to her getting ready for her scene, picking out her wardrobe, and everything else. It's not as rough as a documentary; it's slick, and the lighting looks beautiful. It's certainly not gonzo."

Often compared to the young Jenna Jameson, Jordan did her first scene for Ninn Worx with Rene Perez and Lina. "It's a very hard scene," Ninn told AVN.com. "We weren't sure what to expect; Jana really takes control of the scene, which is odd for a new girl. It's beautiful and very nasty...we just went along for the ride."

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - On Wednesday, Ninn Worx will release the ninth entry in director Michael Ninn's Soloerotica series.

The title features a bevy of solo seductresses including A.J. Bailey, Nikita Denise, Victoria Zdrok, Dee, Katsumi, Michelle Michaels, Olivia Del Rio, Wanda Curtis, Georgia Adair, Anais, Anna Karin, Caroline DeFale, Brittney Skye, Ramona Luv, Terri Summers, Taryn Thomas, Penny Flame, Angel Cassidy, Melissa Lauren, Isabella and Harmony.

"I always shoot extra scenes on the set of each of my titles," said Ninn. "Each girl does a solo performance before she shoots her sex scene. This gives me an opportunity to capture her at her most vulnerable and open moment. After shooting her solo, she has been devotedly adored and is already primed, which results in very hot sex when she's paired with a partner."

Ninn shot each girl's sequence in a different setting, from an 18th century mansion to a secluded hideaway by a bubbling stream and a Manhattan high rise.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Her name's pronounced "Janna", not "Jayna" and the lithe blonde hails from Houston, Texas, where "there's not a lot of porn you can do."

Jordan's "coming out party" was held this afternoon at Ninn Worx's new offices on Nordhoff Street in Chatsworth, which will also serve as the company's warehouse ... and, lucky for them, their replicator is right across the hall.

The 5'3" Jordan was accompanied by her friendly Chihuahua/rat terrier Bubbles, and while an announced press conference never actually took place, Jana was only too happy to talk one-on-one about her origins and plans.

"I was a model from 14 to 17 for commercial print, acting and stuff like that," Jordan explained. "I did nude modeling when I turned 18, and I wasn't into dancing or anything, so an agent contacted me from L.A. and when I turned 19, I came down, and now I'm 20, so I've been out here for a while doing this."

So far, "this" has consisted of some web cam shows with a girlfriend – she was known on the Web as "Jana Foxy" – plus four features: Barely Legal 69 for Hustler, under the direction of Erica MacLean; a volume of Larry's Angels, also for Hustler; a Vivid film with Sunrise Adams that Jana's not sure of the title of ... and her debut with Ninn Worx, which she thinks will be titled House of Janna.

"It went really well," Jordan said of her Ninn Worx debut. "I worked with a bunch of my friends. Marlee Moore and I did a scene; I did a threeway with Lena Nicole and Renee Perez, and the threeway was really hot; Michael actually said it was one of his all-time best scenes he's ever recorded, which is really cool, because it was my first scene I did for him ever. And I did a scene with a new girl named Jamie; she's a redhead and she's really, really cute."

Hmmm ... a girl-girl scene, an all-girl threeway and another girl-girl scene ... are we detecting a pattern here?

"I'm more into girls than boys," she admitted, "because they're not as, I guess, intimidated by me. Boys seem to be intimidated by me; I don't know why, but yeah, I definitely do like girls."

We asked how she hooked up with Ninn Worx.

"Their videos are a lot different," Jordan replied. "I walked past Michael's booth at AEE, and it was so different from everyone else's typical porn-look booth. He had like dead roses everywhere, and like really artsy-fartsy stuff, and it was different, so I liked it."

She caught Michael Ninn's eye as well, and he set up a meeting/photo shoot with her. But once he saw the results, Ninn knew she was contract material.

Jordan will be starring in at least four features for Ninn Worx, and will appear in about a dozen other Ninn Worx projects over the term of her contract.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Ninn Worx has announced the official signing of Jana Jordan as the company's newest exclusive contract starlet. Jordan's first Ninn Worx title will release in May.

Director and Ninn Worx owner, Michael Ninn, said that the Texas native is a natural in front of the camera. "She is very sophisticated, while still retaining an innocence and approachability that plays well on camera. I am looking forward to all of the possibilities that Jana brings to Ninn Worx.

"I can see her in some of the urban landscapes that I am moving towards, as well as in classic Ninn Gothic style titles."

The 20-year-old Jordan is brand new to the adult industry, having worked as a web model and shooting only a handful of video titles so far.

"Jana is a very attractive package for Ninn Worx. She's got sex appeal, but is also a genuinely sweet natured girl," Ninn continued. "I could not wait to capture her in full scenes, so we began production February 22 on Jana Jordan parts 1 and 2. Everyone else will have to wait for the release in late May to experience Jana. Right now, I'm the lucky man that has my camera on her."

"I love doing this," said Jordan. "I'm a natural flirt and started doing web cam work with my girlfriend around last November. I was walking around the Adult Entertainment Expo and I was drawn to the Ninn Worx booth. There was something about the look that appealed to me a lot. All of their girls are so beautiful and the way Ninn Worx presents itself is so different from a lot of the other companies in this industry."

"I plan to have a great career with the wonderful people at Ninn Worx and that's what I am looking forward to. Michael has told me about some really cool features that he will shoot with me, and I'm ready to take that on."

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Renetia McDaniel and Alicia Ferro have joined Ninn Worx as the newest additions to the company's sales and distribution arm.

"We now have three strong and determined women taking the reins of our company's future development," said Ninn Worx CEO Q. Ninn. "I am sure that we will have one of the best sales and marketing forces in the adult industry with their addition to our corporate family."

McDaniel, who previously worked with Mark Hamilton at LFP Video and Pulse Distribution, takes the position of Director of Operations at Ninn Worx.

"I've known Q and Michael Ninn for a very long time, and they are amazing people," said McDaniel. "I am very happy that they offered me this opportunity. It was a simple decision to make the move over to Ninn Worx. I love Michael's product. It's clean, beautiful and awesome to watch.

"I appreciate Mark Hamilton and Jim Kohls at Pulse for supporting me as I take this position, and I know that without the many years of knowledge and the amazing education that they offered me, I wouldn't be ready to graduate into this position with Ninn Worx."

"Jim and I are really sorry to see Renetia go," said Pulse Distribution co-owner, Mark Hamilton. "At the same time, we're truly thrilled that she has been given such a great opportunity with Ninn Worx, and they could not have found a better person to head up their operations. We're sure that Renetia will be a tremendous success in her new job, and truly appreciate her efforts for Pulse, and in particular, her loyalty to [Pulse co-owner] Jim Kohls and me over the years."

As Marketing Director, Ferro, wife of director Axel Braun, will report to Ninn Worx Sales Manager and General Manager, Tom Deniro.

"I have known Tom and the [Ninn Worx personal] on a personal level for so long, that they are family to me," Ferro said. "I had made the decision to leave my former employer about two weeks before Ninn Worx made the decision to launch the long planned distribution end of their company. It all came together like it was meant to be that way. I am a hundred percent honored to be working with a company that treats their staff as a family."

"Tom does such a tremendous job of handling everything Ninn Worx is doing, but we had been keeping our eyes out for people that would work well as a team and Alicia and Renetia round out our company very well," added Ninn.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Acclaimed director Michael Ninn's company Ninn Worx is on the move. Effective immediately, Ninn Worx will be handling all sales and distribution in-house, ending a one-year relationship with Red Light District. As of Monday, Feb. 12, Ninn's company is also moving its physical address to a new office located at 21329 Nordhoff, Chatsworth, CA 91311.

"We had a great year with Red Light, and it was just time for us to do it ourselves," Ninn Worx president Michael Ninn told AVN. "There's just so much going on with Ninn Worx that it's time for us to really step into the business end entirely."

 "I know that everyone at Red Light is very happy for us as we make this move," added Ninn Worx CEO Q. Ninn. "They are supporting us in the decision to start handling our own sales and have gone out of their way to help us with setting up the change over."

Ninn Worx general manager Tom Deniro has been appointed head of sales and distribution. Deniro will rep Ninn's product worldwide in all delivery platforms. 

"We have good people in place and I know that we are ready to make this venture successful,"  Michael Ninn said. "By taking over our own sales and distribution, we have Tom and our sales team focused on Ninn Worx lines and the other projects that we are getting involved in."

NinnWorx currently plans to produce and distribute 24 titles in 2007. The company's first self-distributed release is Through Her Eyes, starring Faith Leon. According to Q. Ninn, the company will also be bringing back its Innocence line and launching several new series. 

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Starlet Faith Leon is featured in the latest release from director Michael Ninn, Through Her Eyes.

Shipping on Feb. 7, the Ninn Worx production takes Leon on a surreal journey through "a torrid wonderland filled with beautiful women and voracious men."

Leon, who is featured in three of the movie's five scenes, told AVN.com that her experience with director and Ninn Worx owner Michael Ninn for Through Her Eyes was great. "Michael shoots such beautiful stuff, that's one of the reasons I love working with him so much," she said.

As the title suggests, some of the release's focus was put, literally, on Leon's eyes, which are a piercing bluish-green. "They really liked my eyes a lot," said the starlet, "and so I did a lot of looking right into the camera, which is a little unnatural."

"Faith is so pretty and innocent [but] very nasty," said Ninn. "The camera eats her up and she's a joy to shoot. I'm looking forward to doing more titles with Faith soon."

The title features the camera work of Barry Wood, who took Best Videography honors at the 2007 AVN Awards. The movie also features the music of Loren Alexander, who, along with rocker Eddie Van Halen, won AVN's 2007 Best Music award for his work on Ninn's Sacred Sin.

"Barry is an artist with the camera," said Ninn. "Loren is always spot-on with the music to enhance the experience I'm trying to give the people that are watching my movies. Together they produce the most amazing atmosphere for my stories."

In addition to Leon, Through Her Eyes stars Shy Love, Sophia, Selina Draagon, Jean Val Jean, Eric Masterson, Scott Nails, Alex Sanders and Marco Banderas.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Czech production company Moiré Candy Films has delivered its newest offering with The Joy Virus, distributed through Ninn Worx.

Described by Ninn's publicist as "unapologetically campy and silly, like good '70s porn," the movie centers on the sexual schemes of a boy genius bent on world domination. Ninn picked up distribution rights to the movie after viewing a screener at the Venus Fair in Berlin.

"These Bohemians turn out a great story and it's simply nice to see a group of people that seem to care as much about the story they're creating as the intercourse they're documenting," said Ninn Worx CEO, Michael Ninn. "Hey, sex is great, but sex with the brain involved always wins the match in our arena."

Joy Virus stars a line-up of European talent, including Kole Kerr, Keana Moiré, Virginia Chambers, Stacy Silver, Twigy, Nela Norrington, Zoe, Barbara Summer, Kia Winston and Claudia Rossi.

Morie Candy signed an exclusive distribution deal with Ninn Worx in September of 2006. The Prague-based outfit also produces movies for Private Media Group.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Ninn Worx has unveiled its latest release in Lorraine Sisco's Façade. The title stars AVN's 2007 Underrated Starlet of the Year Mika Tan, alongside Otto Bauer, Nikki Benz, Jenaveve Jolie, Daisy Marie, Kaiya Lynn, Alexis Love, Jerry, Ben English, Barry Scott and Jean Val Jean.

"Lorraine and I congratulate Mika on her award, but her excellence in performance won't be unrecognized after you see Façade," said Ninn Worx owner, Michael Ninn. "What she has done in this role is nothing short of riveting."

"I think Michael brought out the more fetish-oriented – or for lack of a better term – 'dark' side in me," said Sisco of her latest release. "The conversations I had with Michael inspired me to look further than just the pretty and flawless imagery."

Sisco signed on as Ninn Worx' first female director in March 2006. Since then, she has released Clique, The Catalyst and Crescendo through the production company, all of them elaborate productions with vivid imagery, complicated story lines and an attention to detail.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Ninn Worx contract starlet and Penthouse Pet Heather Vuur will star in the company’s newest upcoming release, Fem L’Amour. The title marks the starlet’s second appearance in a release for the adult production company.

Vuur, who was signed exclusively to Ninn Worx in June, also starred in the company’s Fall title Sacred Sin, and played host at the post release party, “The Gathering,” held late last month.

In Fem L’Amour, Vuur is featured in a threeway g/g/g scene with starlets Justine Joli and Karlie Montana.

“Of course, leave it to Michael Ninn to put me in a scene with not one but two of the hottest girls in the industry; Justine and Karlie,” said Vuur. “We were all so attracted to each other we could barely wait for the camera to start kissing, licking, and biting. 

“I love my work and [viewers] will too.”

Directed by Michael Ninn and produced by Lorraine Sisco, Fem L’Amour stars an all-girl cast including Vuur, Kellemarie, Angie Savage, Samantha Ryan, Marlie Moore, Kimberly Kane, Daisy Layne, Faith Leon, Joli, and Montana.

The title marks the eighth release in Ninn’s FEM series. Fem L’Amour features five scenes of all-girl action, along with a 30 minute behind the scenes video segment and a 125- picture photo gallery.

HOLLYWOOD - Saturday night saw a landmark moment, in more ways than one, for the meeting of the porn and the mainstream worlds, as a grandiose release party for Michael Ninn's newest epic, Sacred Sin, was held at the Hollywood Hills home of legendary rocker Eddie Van Halen, who contributed two music tracks to the title.

The party, officially named "The Gathering," was a rigorously invite-only affair, with attendees being checked in at a large Porn Valley parking lot and shuttled in droves up to the house - almost symbolically located midway between the Valley and Hollywood - where only-in-the-movies-like decadence greeted them.

In the cavernous front room, ballroom music was being played on a grand piano while an entertainer performed acrobatic choreography in a silky swing hanging from the ceiling.

Outside, meanwhile, a live rock band performed hits from a full-on, floodlit concert stage while gatherers enjoyed complimentary cocktails and hors d'oeuvres and more acrobatics and dancers on stilts kept the scenery lively and surreal.

The highlight of the evening, incontestably, was when Van Halen himself took to the stage and performed some of his most well-known songs, including "Jump" and "Panama," as well as those of others for the crowd, to roaring approval.

Taking some subtle jabs at fellow rocker Billy Idol, who was supposed to perform at the party but backed out hours beforehand, Van Halen made light of the situation by playing Idol's "Rebel Yell."

He also treated the partiers to an extended and virtuoso guitar solo, and wrapped up his set with a classic, leaping, thunderous denouement.

Several of the porn starlets in attendance, including Gia Paloma, Roxy DeVille and Sarah Blake, indulged in dips in the large, outdoor swimming pool, some of them taking rides down the extensive, spiraling waterslide and swimming around in various states of undress.

Despite the elite guest list, it seemed as though the vast majority of major porn players were present. Here are some of the others spotted: co-master of ceremonies Michael Ninn, Ninn Worx contract girl Heather Vuur, Jessica Drake, Kirsten Price, Stormy Daniels, Kaylani Lei, Jassie, Jessica Jaymes, Angel Cassidy, Faith and Marcos Leon, Tiana Lynn, AVN president Paul Fishbein and CEO Darren Roberts, Wicked Pictures president Steve Orenstein, Vivid Entertainment Group co-chairman Steve Hirsch, Pulse Distribution co-owner Jim Kohls, Nautica Thorn, Mia Rose, Jasmine Byrne, Franchezca Valentina, Alaura Eden, Casey Parker, Gia Jordan, Sunny Lane, Tommy Gunn, Rita Faltoyano, Evan Stone, Nicole Sheridan, Voodoo, Taylor Rain, Jenna Presley, Marlie Moore, Zero Tolerance's Travis Nestor, Ben English, Barrett Blade, Ashley Steel, Acme Andersson, Scott Fayner, directors Mark Stone, JacktheZipper and Stoney Curtis, Rayveness, Paulina James, DCypher, Brad Armstrong, Michael Raven, Roy Karch, Lorraine Sisco, Robert "Payaso" Mora, publicists Harry Weiss and Jeff Mullen, and AVN's Dan Miller, Gary Miller, Jared Rutter, Nelson X, M.J. McMahon, Carlos Martinez and Thomas Stanton, plus scores more.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Ninn Worx is ready to release director Lorraine Sisco’s latest project with Crescendo. The title, which ships today, is a journey into what Sisco calls “the sexual psyche of a beautiful woman both ashamed and captivated by her own lascivious desires.”

Through a series of five scenes, strongly sexual with some fetish aspects, Sisco explained to AVN.com that she focused her energies on the sexual entrapment and exploration of one starlet, Faith Leon. Leon appears in every scene in the title. “Faith is a goddess…she’s the most beautiful girl that I have come across in the adult industry,” Sisco gushed. “She’s absolutely stunning.

“Faith is very sexually developed…she’s definitely more woman than girl with a great, classic beauty.”

Sisco said that she first came across Leon while shooting one of her previous titles, The Catalyst (Ninn Worx), for which she also focused on one central character. “I saw her and just knew I had to have her.”

With a supporting cast, Sisco explained that Leon undergoes a sexual awakening, “finding herself amazed at even her own potential levels of physical explosion - possible only when the mind truly lets the body unabashedly seek nothing but its own fulfillment.”

The first scene sees Leon running endlessly, and she eventually ends up in what is to represent the jail cell of her own mind. “She starts to have conversations with a disembodied, male voice,” Sisco continued, “which guides her through all these sexual experiences.

“We did a lot of research on Freudian dreams and symbols and were able to create those on the set.”

As is the case with a lot of Ninn Worx titles, Cisco also said that the company went to great lengths to create a very elaborate production. “The art direction and the production designs were great. Everyone has tailor-made outfits and the locations were beautiful.” Sisco said that they also had a bondage artist on set for the fetish scenes, as well as custom-made music.

“Loren Alexander created all the music, and he’s the best. He did a great job at fitting the music perfectly for each scene.”

Sisco said that she’s already completed another title for the production company and will begin on a joint project with Ninn Worx director Axel Braun in October, as well taken producing duties on a number of Ninn Worx’s upcoming releases.

Crescendo also stars Daisy Marie, Audrey Hollander, Kellemarie, Nevaeh, Holly Morgan, Scott Nails, Mr. Marcus, Otto Bauer, Jerry and Tyler Knight.

Sisco signed on with the adult production company in March as its first female director and has since helmed such project as Clique and The Catalyst for Ninn Worx.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Ninn Worx has signed an exclusive, one-year, content distribution deal with Prague-based production company Moiré Candy.

Under the agreement, Ninn Worx will distribute six newly produced titles. Ninn Worx titles are exclusively distributed by Red Light District.

Michael Ninn, CEO of Ninn Worx, said, “I have reached a point in my career that allows me to both nurture and guide young artistic adult filmmakers through the maze of distribution.

“Moiré Candy, to me, is one of the most innovative filmmakers out there today and I’m proud that they have chosen Ninn Worx to help further their brand. Their movies are beautiful in a raw kind of way with great sex and intriguing stories.”

“It’s kind of like [George] Lucas asking you to direct a Star Wars [installment],” Moiré Candy’s Max Candy told AVN.com. “The deal is for six movies now, but I’m pretty sure it will be a deal for many more films and many more years than that. 

“For us it’s a dream to get to work with a legend like Michael. I honestly cannot think of anyone else I would rather work with in this biz.”

“We, Louis Moire and I, are really believe Michael shares a similar vision for the future of adult entertainment,” continued Candy. 

“I have to thank [AVN Online Associate Publisher] MJ [McMahon] for seeing our first movies and getting us in touch with Ninn.

“Our upcoming stuff is going to beautiful and with hard sex using our contact girls Claudia Rossi and Keana Moiré.”

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Ninn Worx, in association with rocker Eddie Van Halen, has launched “Catherine – The Eddie Van Halen Sacred Sin Cut,” a new, full-length music video available at the adult film company’s Web site (www.ninnworx.com/sacredsin).

Two versions of the video can also be found on YouTube. One features Van Halen exclusively in his studio, the other injects segments of last year’s Ninn Worx’ title, Catherine. 

The track was originally written by Loren Alexander for the soundtrack to Catherine. Inspired by the power of the original piano piece, Van Halen composed drum and guitar tracks, adding depth to the composition.  Once completed, Ninn felt compelled to add the remake to the soundtrack of Sacred Sin, as well as film the music videos.

“Working with Eddie is a dream come true,” said Ninn. “What he brought to the musical mix of ‘Catherine’ is nothing short of brilliant.

“He amazes me daily with both his work ethic and his love for his craft.”

Van Halen said he is proud of his contribution and feels that the final product is “a powerful piece of music.

“I put my heart and soul into it.”  

“Catherine – The Eddie Van Halen Sacred Sin Cut” is featured on the soundtrack to the Ninn Worx title, which releases Sept. 13. Van Halen contributed one other song to the Sacred Sin soundtrack, called “Rise,” which can also be seen here (www.ninnworx.com/sacredsin) or at www.YouTube.com.

Both music videos are included on the bonus DVD in Sacred Sin’s packaging.

NEW YORK - Director and Ninn Worx owner, Michael Ninn, and rocker Eddie Van Halen will be on the “Howard Stern Show” Friday morning. Van Halen recently joined forces with Ninn to write and perform two songs for the forthcoming Ninn Worx feature, Sacred Sin, which releases on Sept. 13. Van Halen and Ninn are also longtime friends.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Ninn Worx and rocker Eddie Van Halen will celebrate the launch of Sacred Sin at a celebration that they are calling “The Gathering,” on Sept. 30. Van Halen recently joined forces with the adult director to write and perform two songs for the forthcoming Ninn Worx feature.

Organizers said that “The Gathering” will combine the imagery of director Michael Ninn with the musical energy of Van Halen, along with a cast of other artists to entertain.

Scheduled to take place at an undisclosed location in the Hollywood Hills, “The Gathering” will be a private, invitation-only event that will also feature special guest hosts, cuisine, and sideshow attractions.

In addition to the Ninn/Van Halen collaboration, the evening will also be a celebration for the signing of Heather Vuur to an exclusive contract, Ninn's 15 years in the adult business, and a thank you to the cast, crew, media, friends and family that have helped and inspired Ninn.

BOULDER, Colo. - New Frontier Media, Inc. today announced an exclusive strategic agreement between its wholly owned subsidiary, The Erotic Networks (“TEN”) and adult production company, Ninn Worx.

TEN and Ninn Worx, which is led by veteran director Michael Ninn, have signed a deal which encompasses exclusive rights to a library of 86 Ninn Worx titles produced over the past three years, as well as exclusive rights to Ninn Worx’s content output over the next four years. Additionally, [Michael] Ninn will work collaboratively with TEN on special projects for television, wireless, and the internet.

“Our research shows that the market craves attractive talent in quality productions that are appealing to both individuals and couples alike,” said Ken Boenish, President of New Frontier Media, Inc. and TEN. “Our agreement with Ninn Worx adds that content to our pay-per-view and video-on-demand services.”

”I am delighted to have found a home at TEN,” said Michael Ninn. “The creativity, design and innovation that have characterized TEN’s networks are a perfect fit for my work.”

David Kravis of Coastline Licensing represented Ninn Worx in the agreement. 

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Angel Cassidy is at home sipping ice tea.

Having completed shooting a softcore scene for an upcoming Showtime movie, the blond starlet stirs her drink with a straw as she recalls her days as a contract star with Michael Ninn’s Ninn Worx.

“Michael was a great guy to work with. He knew just how to shoot you and make you look great.”

It was just two years ago that Cassidy starred in Ninn’s AWA, which was recently re-released in a remastered and re-cut extended version. It features fellow Ninn contract stars Anais and Wanda Curtis.

“I loved working with them. They’re awesome girls who are not only beautiful, but smart.”

Although Cassidy left Ninn last year, she left her mark in AWA and other titles that featured the 5 foot 6 inch hottie taking on guys and girls alike for her sexual pleasure.

“I love my work and if I can get off, its all the better,” said Cassidy.

In her hot tryst with Mario Rossi, Cassidy takes him orally in a slow seductive fashion before taking him all the way down her throat and then starting again from the tip with a piston-like efficiency.

“When I give a blowjob, I also try to get pleasure out of it, so it’s not just about the guy.”

Before she’s through, she spreads her long legs wide, allowing Rossi to pound her pussy with abandon.

Bobby Blue, who edited the latest version of AWA, said Cassidy’s scene proved hotter than he had imagined once he saw the raw footage.

“Mario was fucking her and right before the pop, she starts talking to him and looking at him right in the eyes and then he pops. It’s an amazing scene.”

Blue, who worked under the supervision of Ninn, was charged not with just recutting the movie, but with making nearly a new movie altogether.

“I worked with the raw footage and just worked on it from scratch and made an entirely new version. I didn’t even look at the original.”

But for Cassidy, the movie’s original reception from fans and critics alike spoke volumes.

“The fact so many people loved it was enough for me. I was happy to be a part of it.”

Today, Cassidy continues to work in mostly girl-girl titles and softcore features.

“I’ve never been a hardcore girl really. I like to fuck, but I love to do movies that have a good look about them and not just go in a room and fuck your brains out. Anybody can do that.”

The fact she often works with other female performers also shows Cassidy’s ongoing fascination with women.

“I love women and I love to eat pussy. I can do it all day. Women are beautiful to me in the way they look, smell and feel.

“But it doesn’t mean I’ll turn down cock. Every once in a while, I still need to fuck a cock.”

While she continues to do modeling for adult and other magazines, Cassidy is also experiencing an upsurge in her adult film career, starring in a number of new releases. She stars Sin City’s recently released Pink Paradise, Hustler Video’s Taboo Fantasy Fetish, Sunshine Video’s Miss BigButt, Bob’s Video’s Nylon Couples, Platinum Blue’s Forbidden Fantasies, and a slew of others.

Represented by L.A. Direct Models, Cassidy also continues to work the dance circuit, featuring around the country as well as making appearances in a steady stream of direct-to-cable softcore movies.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Ninn Worx, the high-end production company owned by director Michael Ninn, has signed Penthouse Pet Heather Vuur to an exclusive performance contract.

Vuur, the Penthouse Pet of the Month in January and cover girl in May, actually sought out Ninn after being intrigued by his style of filmmaking.

“I was working with Penthouse, and I said, ‘I really want to get into movies and I really like the work of Michael Ninn.’ They called him up for me and told him I wanted to meet with him. We met, and that’s where the magic began,” Vuur told AVN.com. “We had an instant understanding. I loved his art, and I was just excited he would have a meeting with me.

“When I met him he was excited that a person like me would want to get into adult movies. I guess I’m a little different. I’m excited to express myself in a really erotic, but artistic manner.”

The starlet said the one-year deal calls for at least four movies, possibly six. Her first project, Ninn’s Sacred Sin, will be released in September and also marks her debut in adult films.

The 5-foot-8, hazel-eyed, Dutch beauty arrives in adult with a mainstream background that ranges from independent film roles to infomercials and numerous appearances in high-profile music videos.

“It was consistent work for like three years,” said Vuur, who has appeared in videos for artists such as Britney Spears, Korn and several rappers doing both dancing and acting. “I really enjoyed doing dancing for rock groups like Velvet Revolver and Korn.”

Vuur, whose last name means “of the fire” and is taken from her Dutch ancestry, is also a veteran of the U.S. Army, where she was a food and health inspector for three years.

“And at night I would go to college and I finished my degree,” she said. “I have a Bachelor’s of Science in teaching.”

She has also traveled the world, living in the Costa Rican jungle for a period when she led people on jungle and zip line (canopy) tours.

“I lived in the middle of a national park, and I learned how to speak Spanish,” added Vuur, who also rides a motorcycle.

“Life is fun,” she says. “You do whatever you want, whatever makes you feel good. My mother raised me with one saying, ‘Go big, or go home.’”

She went big in Sacred Sin, a movie in which she was able to display her acting abilities as well as her sex appeal in the lead role.

“It was amazing,” Vuur said. “I came to Michael Ninn because I really liked his work, but I had no idea about what capacity he could use me in.

“Between meeting him and starting the movie, it all happened in literally 10 days, but it all flowed really well. I had done acting in the past. That’s what I was doing prior to the adult world, so it was a natural fit. His work is demented and beautiful and has all these different sides to it that I share and understand.”

Ninn remarked, "She’s an incredible actress on top of being stunningly beautiful. Anyone that can pull off my psychobabble and make it believable is one hell of an actress. Her energy for this picture was just amazing.”

Vuur’s character, Trask, was actually first written for a male lead, but the script was rewritten to provide a starring vehicle for her. Trask is a ghost for part of the movie.

“My character was very depressed in the beginning, but when she dies and comes back, she doesn’t give a fuck. She doesn’t care. It’s just brutal,” Vuur continued. “She has nothing to lose because she just lost everything and she takes people, takes everything from them and throws them out. It’s a very dark, gothic character that I played, which is me to a certain degree. But I’m also blond, and light-hearted.”

Vuur performs a three-way, all-girl scene with A.J. Bailey and Nevaeh and also performs in several solo sequences in between dialogue scenes.

“I had this script that was 50 pages, and 30 of them were mine,” she said.

While her debut only includes girl/girl and solo sex, she has left open the possibility of doing boy/girl in the future.

Vuur was born in Hollywood but grew up in Santa Rosa, Calif., near San Francisco. She hooked up with Penthouse as a result of her three-year friendship with photographer Ken Marcus, who shot her January pictorial.

“We were occasionally hanging out, doing photo shoots, but I wouldn’t take off my clothes for the first year,” Vuur said. “It was a three-year process to get comfortable.”

Then former adult star Stacy Valentine, the director of model recruitment for Penthouse, spotted Vuur on Marcus’ computer one day and asked if she’d be interested in doing a layout.

“It was nerve-wracking, but thank God I had done work prior with Ken,” Vuur recalled. “Even though it was new, it wasn’t frightening, it was exciting. I liked it. It was very liberating to just to be able to express myself like that.”

Vuur initially thought posing nude was a one-time deal.

“When I went to do the Penthouse pictures, I thought if they even get published that would be a fun thing,” she said. “I had no thought that it would start a whole other career, but I’m so happy that it has. I’m enjoying it so much.” 

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - In a major crossover move, rock superstar Eddie Van Halen has joined forces with adult director Michael Ninn to write and perform two songs for the upcoming Ninn Worx feature, Sacred Sin.

Although several big-name rappers have contributed material to XXX movies, Van Halen is probably the first major rock star to lend his name to an adult project.

Van Halen told AVN.com he’s not bothered by possible criticism. “I’m working with a friend — very simple. I like his work,” he said. “Michael Ninn is like a Spielberg to me: the imagery, the way he makes things look, just… sensual.

“We hooked up, I ended up doing the music, and it’s some whompin-ass shit. I think it’s the best work he’s ever done, and me too. And more to come.”

“Eddie is from Amsterdam, born and raised, and his interpretation of sex and music are all in one, so it wasn’t a big step for him,” Ninn told AVN.com in an exclusive interview.

He and Van Halen, he said, have been friends for “a couple of lifetimes, it seems like. It started out as him ringing me up to work on some music together. One thing just led to another, and it ended up, I had this movie in mind. We would sit at the piano — he has two grand pianos in the house — and play and talk all night long.”

The project came to life as a result of “the things we talked about: life in general, imagery and the power of imagery. Sometimes as he’d play I’d walk around the estate and the story kind of came to me while I was there.”

The Van Halen songs in Sacred Sin are “Rise” and “Catherine,” a remix of the theme from Ninn’s 2005 movie of the same name.

“One of the things that Eddie really, really liked,” Ninn said, “was the theme from Catherine. He did a remix, it still carries the melody, but it’s got a Kashmir-Led Zeppelin kind of feel to it now. A very, very powerful piece of music.”

He said Van Halen was “absolutely elated with the track,” and the rocker himself confirmed, “If ‘Catherine’ doesn’t move you, you’re brain-dead.”

The second song, “Rise,” was a tune he had been working on already. “I heard it and just fell in love with it,” Ninn said. Van Halen also contributed some “transitional piano pieces that are sprinkled throughout the movie.” The rest of the music is the work of frequent Ninn collaborator Loren Alexander.

Ninn Worx will release Sacred Sin on September 13, distributed by Red Light District. The two-disc set will contain music videos for both Van Halen songs. “They’re pretty powerful,” Ninn said, calling his friend “an incredible performer who really comes to life when the cameras are on. He’s a showman.”

Ninn is also cutting a non-explicit version of the movie, to be called Rise, for the general market. Release date is unsure, he said, because it has yet to be submitted to the MPAA board for a rating.

The picture introduces new Ninn Worx contract girl Heather Vuur, in her first adult movie. “She’s an incredible actress on top of being stunningly beautiful,” Ninn said. “Anyone that can pull off my psychobabble and make it believable is one hell of an actress. Her energy for this picture was just amazing.”

The movie was completely shot on High Definition video and is frankly aimed at the couples market. Ninn called it “180 degrees from Catherine,” in which the sex scenes, because of the nature of stars Audrey Hollander and Otto Bauer, “were all over the top — carnival X.”

In Sacred Sin, he said, “I wanted the sex to be for couples, nothing too crazy, a picture that couples could get off on.”

He said the budget “might push $200,000. We’re around $150,000 right now and we’re not finished with post work. I’m not sure. I try to stay out of that and just get the best picture I can make.”

Van Halen, he said, has “seen a lot of the movie and has seen this is real. He seems to be relatively happy with what we’re trying to achieve.”

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Going girl-on-girl in Michael Ninn’s Pushed doesn’t faze Hillary Scott. A muff is just as good as a cock, she says.

So when Ninn asked her to play opposite Alicia Rhodes, Scott quickly agreed.

“I always liked the way his movies looked. He always shoots hardcore stuff which I really like,” Scott said.

First with fingers and tongues, the with dildos and assorted other toys, Scott and Rhodes went at each other hard, making sure the other one came.

“I was in the business for just a month when I did this scene, so I didn’t know that much, but Alicia was great,” Scott said.

“When Michael brought in a cock, Alicia went to work. She knows her way around a cock.”

With both girls getting banged hard, Scott and Rhodes switched before sharing a load from their man.

The title also features Adrianna Nicole, Annette Schwarz, Tyla Wynn, Roxetta, Marco Banderas and Dirty Harry, with appearances by Otto Bauer and Nicki Hunter.

The title is set for release by Red Light District, which is Ninn Worx exclusive distributor, on Aug. 9. The company is also scheduled to release Pure Sapphic Liaisons, on Aug. 2, featuring Tanya James, Bella Star, Kinzie Kenner, Valerie Herrera, Amberlina, Kellemarie, Penny Flame, Charlie Laine, Jordan Fleiss and Bobbie Blair.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Michael Ninn and his production company Ninn Worx have announced the release of a project that marks a new direction for the company. Harnessing the popularity of the squirting genre, the production company has drafted director Axel Braun to develop a series that celebrates female ejaculation with the release of the first installment of a new squirting series, Wet Room.

"It was just a thrill to be able to work alongside Michael," Braun told AVN.com. “He worked very closely with me on the project and he is a very creative guy with a very unique perspective on what's erotic, and I believe our styles blended perfectly. I tried to push the hard-core factor a little, and I was amazed at how positively Michael responded."

Braun went on to explain that he and Ninn Worx will release four installments of Wet Room this year (one every three months). “This series is different from my other squirting titles simply because of its size…we had a huge crew, and it has an extremely high production value."

Cytherea, who appears in a three-way with Jenna Presley and Jay Lassiter, said that, "It was almost a surreal experience...Axel Braun and Michael Ninn really took the squirting genre to the next level."

Starlet Missy Monroe commented, "This is so beautiful... I felt like I was on the set of a Hollywood movie for a day. It's going to be hard for all the other squirting movies to measure up.” Monroe squirted up a storm in the title while getting d.p.'ed by Ben English and Marco Banderas.

"This series has all the elements of style and high production value that fans of Michael Ninn's work are accustomed to," continued Braun, who has also published two books on female ejaculation, "but with a more hardcore imprint on the sex, and, of course, lots of wetness."

Wet Room also features Angela Stone and Scott Nails.

Braun helmed a long-running series called Squirting 101 for New Sensations/Digital Sin, in which he teaches viewers how to make women ejaculate. He also directed Squirting 201 for EXP last year. In addition to Ninn Worx, he has also shot titles for Mayhem, Elegant Angel, Sin City and Hustler.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Director Michael Ninn’s production company, Ninn Worx, has recently signed its first female director in Lorraine Sisco (aka Tall Goddess). The statuesque German was signed to a deal directing four titles a year for the company.

Sisco, herself, has acted in some solo scenes and done box covers for Ninn and Andrew Blake. Not surprisingly, she also has a history in runway modeling, in Europe. Apparently, Sisco brings her fashionista tendencies to her work, as she told AVN.com that Clique has very elaborate fashion in it, and that she’s going to strive to combine adult with high fashion in her future titles. 

Sisco explained that her first feature was shot in a very non-linear, stylistic way, characteristic of other Ninn Worx titles. She also mentions the aggressive female performances in the feature.

“I’m not very interested in performances that have no energy. I’m always encouraging the female performers to put out more energy, and reverse the usual male/female roles.”

Clique has five scenes, and includes performances by Jamie Huxley, Charlotte Stokely, Havannah Ginger, Tyra Banxxx, Katie Morgan, Teanna Kai, Jenaveve Jolie, James Deen and Randy Spears.

“It’s a real sexual adventure,” enthused Sisco.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - On Wednesday, Ninn Worx will release Meet Heather, a vehicle for the company's new contract star Heather Vandeven. The title features the Penthouse Pet of the Year in hardcore girl/girl scenes and candid interviews, shot exclusively for this release.

In Meet Heather, director and company owner Michael Ninn sets the Los Angeles native up on a balcony overlooking the Hollywood Hills to reminisce about her new contract with the production company. At the time of the interview, Heather hadn't yet learned that she had been chosen the 2006 Penthouse Pet of the Year, as she discusses the Pet of the Year contest specifics.

The movie also includes footage from Heather's scenes in Ninn Worx titles such as Sacred Sin and Aperture, completely re-edited and re-mastered in High Definition. 

The 5-foot-8, hazel-eyed, Dutch beauty — who signed an exclusive deal with Ninn Worx in July — arrived in adult with a mainstream background that ranges from independent film roles to infomercials and numerous appearances in high-profile music videos.

Joining Heather in her girl/girl romps are Selina Draagen, Nevaeh, A.J. Bailey, Angie Savage, Karli Montana, Zoe Britton, Kelly Kline, and Justine Joli.

The 26-year-old Vandeven was born in Hollywood, not far from where she resides now. "I'm a restless person who constantly feels the need to roam around the world and try everything it has to offer," said Vandeven. "The bug hit me so strong I once joined the military just so I could experience exotic lands. I'm always game for excitement, so being Pet of the Year is a natural fit for my personality."

Penthouse announced the blonde bombshell as the winner of the coveted title during its Goin' Deep Super Party in Miami. The event was televised on pay-per-view and featured 25 Penthouse Pets, as well as a performance by Snoop Dogg. Vandeven was the magazine's January 2006 Pet of the Month and one of 12 finalists vying for the title.

"Heather has proven to be a favorite with readers and with the executives here at Penthouse," said Penthouse Editor-in-Chief, Mark Healy. "Apart from her remarkable beauty, of course, is her personality and charisma. She has the looks, the charm, and the star power every Pet of the Year should have and we're thrilled that she's our 2007 Pet of the Year."

Vandeven, who has performed in adult features as Heather Vuur, is an exclusive contract starlet for Ninn Worx.

"It's been a great year for me, with my NinnWorx contract and the attention that Sacred Sin got from the awards committees, my nomination for Best Actress from AVN. . . . I am sort of overwhelmed in a very happy way," she said.  

"Heather being chosen as Penthouse Pet of the Year didn't surprise me at all," said NinnWorx CEO, Michael Ninn. "The camera loves her. She sparkles and there is no way to deny that. From the moment that I laid eyes on her, I wanted to shoot her. I knew Heather was destined to be my contract girl, and was very pleased when she accepted my offer."

The starlet's next feature for Ninn Worx will be Heather, currently scheduled for release in May. She will resume shooting for Ninn Worx as soon as her Penthouse duties allow.

The 2007 Pet of the Year is featured in the March issue of Penthouse. The magazine is available online and at newsstands today. Go to www.penthouse.com for more information.

Vuur, who was signed exclusively to Ninn Worx in June, also starred in the company’s Fall title Sacred Sin, and played host at the post release party, “The Gathering,” held late last month.

In Fem L’Amour, Vuur is featured in a threeway g/g/g scene with starlets Justine Joli and Karlie Montana.

“Of course, leave it to Michael Ninn to put me in a scene with not one but two of the hottest girls in the industry; Justine and Karlie,” said Vuur. “We were all so attracted to each other we could barely wait for the camera to start kissing, licking, and biting. 

“I love my work and [viewers] will too.”
