The Canadian-born Ashley is the third director under exclusive contract with Elegant Angel, joining William H. and J.T. Studio owner Patrick Collins also directs.
Ashley made his mark as a performer in Elegant Angel lines directed by William H., including “Big Wet Asses,” “Swallow My Squirt” and “Flower’s Squirt Shower.” It was his “strong, passionate performances [that] have been a hallmark of the company’s recent titles,” Collins said. He added, “It was a natural extension to let him direct for Elegant Angel.”
Ashley’s first project for the company slated for a November release is “Teen Machine” featuring Lexi Belle, Adriana Faust, Celena Cross, Evelyn Lin and Ryan Reynolds. Ashley also will direct a three-way series with two girls as well as an all-anal line.
Ashley has directed a handful of films for New Sensations/Digital Sin since 2003.
“I shot Mark in a scene with Lela Starr in May and I could see that he really cared about getting the girls off,” Collins said. “That’s what I love, and what this company has always been about. The movies that Mark has shot in the past really focused on high production values, clean camera work, good casting, quality outfits and chemistry between performers. It’s rare to come across potential directors with as much potential as he has.”
Additional terms of the deal were not disclosed.
