Video: Kayden Kross Talks 'Abigail' Showcase, Directorial Career

LOS ANGELES — Kayden Kross is the ultimate hybrid of performer and director, elevating the medium with visionary gambles that pay off in spades due to her prophetic eye for the bleeding edge of adult cinema. And for the past two years, XBIZ has closely chronicled her incredibly ascendant directing career, now displaying her latest triumphs in this exclusive video interview.

Back in January 2017, after Katrina Jade was named XBIZ Female Performer of the Year, Kross revealed to XBIZ her "Sacrosanct" project, which featured the seductive starlet prominently. Following that pivotal title, Kross continued her TrenchcoatX.com metamorphosis with each release, soon tapping into the formidable distribution might of Jules Jordan Video in August 2017 for her movies.

Then, Kross unveiled to XBIZ her daringly artistic TrenchcoatX renaissance in an October 2017 interview, which was featured in the November 2017 issue of XBIZ magazine. The following month, XBIZ explored the haunting "Sacrosanct" with a deep-diving review that was spotlighted in a two-page spread for the December 2017 issue.

With such a stellar year in her rearview mirror, Kross amassed a bevy of 2018 XBIZ Awards nominations, going head-to-head this past January with vignette master Greg Lansky, whose decorated Vixen.comTushy.com and Blacked.com brands have seized global acclaim from the likes of Kanye West, Forbes and Rolling Stone. Not to mention, she faced a fierce host of nominees from other venerated studios.

By sheer virtue of her risk-taking imagery, poetic scripts and deliciously decadent themes, Kross triumphed with 2018 XBIZ Vignette Release of the Year for "Sun-Lit" and 2018 XBIZ Best Sex Scene in a Vignette Release for the uniquely empowering cuckold dynamic Katrina Jade and Nigel Dictator displayed in "Sacrosanct" alongside Tommy Gunn and Charles Dera — the very same scene she had proudly shared with XBIZ a year prior.

Soon thereafter, Lansky made one of his most profoundly brilliant plays yet, welcoming Kross into his world-class studio empire and backing her directorial imagination with the marketing muscle and well-funded machinery he so expertly wields to great effect.

Her ensuing creations for Vixen, Blacked and Tushy pushed the envelope so beautifully that he lavished upon her his most expensive shoot to date — the groundbreaking mega production of "Abigail," both a feature movie and performer showcase for 2017 XBIZ Best Actress in a Parody Release winner Abigail Mac (profiled exclusively in July 2017), the very same Mac nominated for the 2018 XBIZ Female Performer of the Year trophy alongside reigning champ Romi Rain.

Witness thus, the charismatic craft of Kross in this exclusive video interview, through which she also highlights her gorgeous Tori Black feature “After Dark.” What other marvels await her growing fandom, in the months to come? Stay tuned to XBIZ.com: The future starts here.
