Legend Video plans to invigorate its youth-driven Teens Goin' Wild Series by putting a young filmmaker in the director's chair.
Scorpio, until today best known for his exploits on the skateboarding circuit, signed a one-year exclusive with the film company scant weeks after turning 18 in June.
The Prague-born Scorpio burst onto the sports scene at the 2001 Van Triple Crown Skateboard Series, a performance that also led to his interest in directing when a video company contacted him after the show. "I learned video equipment and lighting when I got job with a company to host and shoot also street skateboarding videos," the director told AVN.com from location shooting in the Bahamas. "They sold the videos to companies like restarants and sports club. It is funny because I still see the videos I make back then when I go to Islands restaurant here in Los Angeles valley. I learn a lot and like making movies very much."
The performer on the Pro Skater circuit was approached at the 2003 X Games for the directorial deal. "I meet guys from Legend last year at X Games. They say they want a young guy to shoot teen girl porno movies. I laugh and say I like pussy. I like making movies. Where do I sign?"
Scorpio was immediately put in charge of the popular teen series, where it is believe his youth and celebrity will help attract performers. The young director has put his sports career on hiatus while he attends to filming. "My approach is like [my] skateboard career. You have to keep watching to see what I will do."
