LOS ANGELES — Newly formed Luxxxe Studios has wrapped production on its very first scene, titled "Friends in Heat," starring Brian Bonds and studio exclusive Justin Yurmouth.
“I can’t begin to tell you how proud I was to have an amazing team working on my first scene for Luxxxe. Both Brian and Justin nailed it and even surpassed my expectations. I was so impressed by their stellar performances," Founder and CEO JD Daniels said.
"The scene was so hot and steamy you can feel the chemistry and hunger they had for each other; it was that good, direct and realistic," he added.
The tryst was filmed and photographed by Anthony Duran and Jasun Mark, whom Daniels described as "a joy and a lot of fun."
Mark praised his experience with the nascent brand.
“It's always very exciting to help new studios find their artistic vision and help them create their first scenes. Doing it with Anthony was even more fun. He and I have been working together since 2009, so it was both old and new," Mark said. "JD's excitement and enthusiasm were very refreshing, but I was also impressed with his attention to detail and how he wanted the scenes to look and feel. He didn't just walk on set thinking, 'Let's make a porn.' He did a lot of planning and learning about what he wanted the final product to look like."
"And of course, Brian is an old friend I love shooting. And having my first shoot with Justin was equally fun," Mark added. "Can't wait to see where this all goes.”
Duran added, "It was a pleasure working with such a great team at Luxxxe. Beautiful location and perfect casting."
The swordsmen echoed the enthusiasm of the group.
"Brian and I had so much chemistry, and both Jasun and Anthony captured it beautifully. I’m really impressed with the results," Yurmouth said. "JD had a very strong vision for this scene and it paid off in a huge way."
Bonds noted he is proud to have been part of Daniels' first shoot for his own company.
"It’s a huge deal and I’m proud of him for taking the steps. He did a very good job with all the booking responsibilities," Bonds added. "I always love working with Anthony and Jasun. They always make me comfortable while on set. Having known Justin for years, and worked together with him, I’m grateful to have had such an amazing scene partner."
"Friends in Heat" is expected to be released in early 2022 with the web launch of Luxxxe Studios.
