Ignite Video Signs Chantz Fortune to Performing-Directing Deal

Ignite Video Productions has signed busty porn star Chantz Fortune to a one-year, eight-picture performing-directing deal, according to production head Samson Knight.

The fledgling company has released five titles since July 2003 and will release two more between now and July, both directed by and starring Fortune.

They are Vol. 3 of Strap-On Sirenz and the first edition of a new series, Twisted POV. She will direct two more volumes of each and perform in two other titles.

The statuesque Fortune, a blue-eyed blonde with a 38DDD chest, has appeared in about 65 titles in two and a half years in the adult video industry. She also feature dances and presides over a female domination-oriented website, www.xxx-fortune.com.

“I know Samson well enough to know that it’s going to be good,” Fortune told AVN.com. “I like doing twisted things and now I’ll have that opportunity.”

Sirenz 3—subtitled “Rectum? Damn Near Killed ‘Em!”—goes before the cameras next month and is scheduled for a mid-July release.

The series is all about female to male strap-on action, with the dominant Fortune laying heavy-duty dildo work on male submissives chosen from her Internet fan base. The “extremely S&M” action issues from her well-stocked BDSM arsenal, but it’s all based on fantasies her fans have emailed her.

“They’re lining up to do it,” she said with a smile, “for me to fuck them in the butt.” She said she has men coming in from as far away as Greece, Sweden, Switzerland and England, as well as the U.S.

Fortune and Knight are currently shooting scenes for Twisted POV, which she describes as “straight boy-girl,” with her performing as well as “egging on” the other women. It will include a demonstration of her deep throating skills—she says she can swallow 16 inches and points proudly to having taken such well-endowed actors as Lee Stone “balls deep.”

Sirenz is Ignite’s only fetish-oriented line. Their other titles so far are Glory Hole Girlz (their first release, starring Fortune), Suckin’ Dicks N’ Rubbin’ Clits, and Euro-Gash: Anal Invasion.

Knight came to Los Angeles two years ago from New York, where he worked in independent movies and erotic still photography. He started Ignite Video in 2003. East Coast partners are Omar Alden and Jacob Roth.

Ignite’s distribution is in the hands of Scarlett Tower, an Avalon Enterprises affiliate. Their box covers are done by Mike Bushler and Phase One Graphics.
