Kenzie Taylor Makes Directorial Debut for Next Door Studios

LOS ANGELES — Kenzie Taylor has made her directorial debut with Next Door Studios' "Secret Affairs," starring Joseph Castlian, Johnny Ford and reigning XBIZ Gay Performer of the Year Michael Boston.

“As a pansexual, cisgender woman who loves gay porn and is also a performer, I felt like I could add a new eye to things for Next Door,” said Taylor. “I've always wanted to direct gay porn, so I was elated when Next Door took the chance on me. Being someone who cares greatly about my own brand and performances makes being a director that much more important to me. I have the ability to create amazing work in film while carefully curating the images and performances of the performers I'm directing.”

Taylor noted that she feels "at home in the gay community."

"It's where I'm able to be myself 100% without judgment," she continued. "The type of atmosphere I want my set to have is one of no judgement, tons of encouragement and the freedom to explore sexual desires in a safe space where we can create art. The first scene I directed wouldn't have been possible were it not for Michael, Joseph and Johnny. The final result came out exactly as I envisioned it. I’m incredibly thankful for these three performers and my entire crew's hard work. I'm good friends with Michael, so it was special to me to have him in my directorial debut."

According to Boston, he and Taylor met at the XBIZ Awards in Los Angeles earlier this year and "a beautiful friendship blossomed." 

"She’s a great director. She knows exactly what she wants, and is super cool and chill," he added. "She makes things easy and fun. She’s really a joy to be around. The casting was perfect. Joseph is a great performer; I loved working with him, along with having Johnny as my scene husband. Good times all around. I can’t wait to see what the amazing Kenzie Taylor is going to direct in the future."

Castlian echoed Boston's praise.

"My first thought was, 'She’s so hot, of course she’s a popular porn star,'" he said. "Kenzie was very sweet and really easygoing, which made the day easier. We definitely had fun, and the footage really shows it. It looks amazing. She did a great job, and hopefully we'll get to work together again."

"Secret Affairs" is now streaming on NextDoorStudios.com.
