VENICE, Calif. — AVN Performer of the Year Bonnie Rotten says she is deep into her first-ever directing experience for Mental Beauty Inc.

Last week she managed an “insane day,” shooting three scenes that lasted more than 15 hours.

“We started at 7:30 in the morning ended at 1 a.m.,” Rotten recounted. “All of the girls were wonderful. We did a pairing of Dom/sub with more experienced girls and newer, more innocent girls. The beginning of each scene had a bondage set up where we put each girl through a couple intense bondage scenarios then moved them into dominant girl/girl sex. The scenes are twisted, but shot so beautifully!”

Rotten added that the pairings were “pretty perfect,” and that each scene in the movie in unique and features a completely different setting.

Alex Ladd is serving as Rotten’s director of photography for the project. Girlfriends Films will release the film in April.

The 20-year-old performer is one of the youngest in the adult industry to garner a recurring directing contract; it is certainly the case for the Girlfriends Films roster.

This weekend Bonnie is kicking off her 2014 U.S. Tour with a big Valentine’s Day show at The Landing Strip in Nashville.
