LOS ANGELES — Jules Jordan Video has released “Neighborhood Slut Watch,” which is the XBIZ Award-winning gonzo company’s first title from director Van Styles.
“Neighborhood Slut Watch” stars reigning XBIZ New Starlet of the Year Jessie Andrews, who graces the box cover, along with additional performances by up-and-coming performers Presley Hart, Lexi Bloom, Valerie Kay, Casey Cumz and Mischa Brooks.
Styles has produced and directed more than 100 movies since his debut with Video Team in 2002, but this is his first title to come out under Jordan’s premium gonzo label.
"I am honored to have an opportunity to direct for Jules Jordan Video,” Styles said. “Knowing Jules for almost 10 years now, he has been a big influence on me as a director. He has taught me a lot between shooting, editing and how to approach a scene. So to be working with him on projects and to be creating high-quality movies is amazing. I look forward to making great quality porno people want to see."
Styles certainly is no stranger to the JJV brand. He has been Jenna Haze’s go-to videographer and photographer for her JennaRation X Studios, which is exclusively distributed by JJV. Jordan said he has watched Styles grow as a shooter, and the timing was right to give him an opportunity.
“He is really inspired by photography and new technology and he was doing some good work with Jenna on her movies,” Jordan told XBIZ. “I think he has matured into having a vision that’s not inspired by money or whatever. I knew that he could create something a little bit different that’s not typical for our brand that fans would appreciate.”
Jordan said that Styles has become “a one-man gang when it comes to production” who can produce, direct and edit with proficiency.
“That’s how I am, I can kind of relate,” Jordan continued. “It’s cool to have somebody that oversees the whole process and knows what they want and puts together a whole package for what they’re trying to accomplish.”

Styles’ directorial credits include dozens of titles for Hustler Video and several for Vouyer Media in addition to his work for Video Team early in his career. He has also previously shot content for Reality Kings.
"When Jules gave me the go ahead to have freedom in which to make this movie I was thrilled,” Styles said. “He asked that it be different from his stuff and everyone else's movies at JJV and I did just that.
“I have been a big fan of tumblr.com and the girls that post images on there. I wanted to convey that to a movie and knew that a big key to succeed at this was in the casting. Wardrobe was second. I wanted to take a break from the typical porno attire and shoot the girls in more ‘real’ clothing that say everyday girls would wear. But I knew despite having these two elements the girls had to be able to put out a scene that is of JJV standards as well as my own, and all of these girls delivered just that."
Jordan added, “I liked it. It was definitely different and unpredictable. That’s what adult needs right now, something not predictable, whether it’s the talent or what’s going on in the movie.”
Plans call for Styles to ramp up to one title a month with Jordan.
“We’re trying to come up with some interesting concepts,” Jordan said. “You can expect for him to be a regular director at the company.”
