LOS ANGELES — Wicked Pictures has released the third scene from “Privilege,” the new series from Gamma contract star and 2023 XBIZ Director of the Year and Male Performer of the Year nominee Seth Gamble.
Created by Gamble as his follow-up to “Deranged,” the series is produced by Wicked Head of Production Axel Braun. The new scene features Freya Parker and Oliver Davis, and is the third of eight scenes in a story described as “a gripping drama set in the Machiavellian world of the megarich.”
"Privilege" tells the story of towering family patriarch Alexander Nash (Evan Stone), who rules his family with an iron fist but has a soft spot for his youngest daughter (April Olsen). He's in the middle of a huge deal that he can't let anyone sabotage, from his duplicitous ex-wife (Lexi Luna) to his gold-digging new bride (Julia Ann), who has her eye on his money and on his beloved son Liam (Nathan Bronson).
Meanwhile, Nash's other son, Lucas (Lucky Fate), a compulsive gambler, puts the entire family empire in jeopardy through sheer ineptitude. As Alexander's personal saga unfolds, the torrid sex lives of his family come to light in a chain of events that will expose more dirty laundry than they ever bargained for.
“Whether I'm making a feature or something that's non-narrative, I approach the process as a collaborative form,” said Gamble. “One of the most important components of a great collaboration is trust. And trust is a two-way street. This means that if you want your actors to trust you and your vision as a director, you must also trust them as an actor. If an actor tells you that there is a line that feels consistently awkward or unnatural, be open to what they have to say. After all, they are performing it and if they feel unnatural saying the line, their performance may come off as unnatural as well. At the end of the day I may have the final say as the director, but trusting the actors’ instincts and being open to what they have to say will make both the shoot day and the final result better.”
Parker enthused about her role.
"Playing Harper was enjoyable for me, specifically because I like to play snarky," she said. "There’s something so sexy, yet frustrating about characters that have that kind of bite to them. I felt like I had a lot of freedom to explore and portray this role, and it was super fun. On top of that, I had the pleasure of being surrounded by an electric cast that seemed to work super well together. In my opinion, movies like this work best when there is a natural chemistry amongst the cast members."
The third episode of "Privilege" premieres today exclusively on Wicked.com.
