Metro Studios and Cal Vista have released Taboo 21, the latest feature from director Red Ezra.
The 21st edition of the series revolves around an interracial love story set in the Deep South during the days of prohibition in the 1920’s.
“What could be more Taboo than mixed race black/white love affair in the deep south in the 1920's?” Red Ezra asked. “Maybe an interracial love triangle with daughter/stepmother maybe? How about a three-way, anal love triangle? This was my inspiration for making this latest edition of the Taboo series. I wanted to do something really taboo and not just some cheating housewives angle. Stir up the senses and put the story in an interesting time frame, deliver some serious production value for the viewer. I think the series deserves that kind of attention.”
Red Ezra said he took extra care with developing the production, hiring girls that are natural and have no tattoos.
“I wrote this story with each cast member specifically in mind, Lauren Phoenix in particular. I had a hunch she would win AVN Female Performer of the Year before we made this movie. She's just that good,” he said.
Steven St. Croix plays an outlaw sheriff and Jennifer Luv appears in a supporting role in one of her final performances. Sharon Wild and Barrett Blade also appear. Red Ezra said that he took a “risk” with newcomer Tyler Knight, but “I couldn't have been happier with the results.”
“Tyler has it, he really does. He has screen presence and the acting abilities I needed to have for the key role of Big Frank,” he said.
Bella Starr also performs in a g/g with Phoenix, and Metro’s own Ron Jeremy rounded out the cast.
“I can always depend on him to bring more to the story than just an actor saying lines,” Red Ezra said. “ He just has that Ron Jeremy thing and it's fun."
The Taboo 21 story revolves around the outlaw sheriff, his sexually neglected second wife (Wild), his not-so innocent teen daughter (Phoenix) and the fix-it man (Knight) who can’t keep his pants on.
Red Ezra said AVN Award-winner David Lockard did the art direction and wardrobe for the video that began shipping on Tuesday.
