LOS ANGELES — Pineapple Support and Adult Time have collaborated on a short film highlighting the hidden emotional pressures that adult performers face, the trailer for which will screen at the upcoming XBIZ Awards.
The PSA features Ana Foxxx and Seth Gamble and was written and directed by Siouxsie Q and Michael Vegas.
Adult Time’s Chief Creative Officer Bree Mills described Pineapple Support as “an essential organization for our production community.”
“Once again, Adult Time is honored to join forces with them to create this powerful short film,” Mills added. “My gratitude to Siouxsie Q and Michael Vegas for writing and directing this script and to Ana Foxxx and Seth Gamble for their impassioned work as our leads for this piece.”
Pineapple Support founder Leya Tanit explained, “Despite the sometimes glamorous portrayal of performers in our industry, it is not always the case behind the scenes. Many are struggling to manage challenging emotions as a result of stigma, shadow-banning, and the many other pressures that performers face today. I’m incredibly grateful to Adult Time for partnering with us on this project and we hope it will help to encourage people to seek help when they are struggling.”
After the trailer for the short film premieres at the 2023 XBIZ Awards, the full-length version will be released on Adult Time on Jan. 19.
