MONTREAL—2022 AVN Best Trans Newcomer nominee Ariel Demure co-stars with Cadence Lux in new Transfixed featurette "Ray of Sunshine," dropping today at Transfixed.com and on the AdultTime.com streaming network.
Co-directed by Siouxsie Q and Michael Vegas, who collaborated with producer Bree Mills on the project, "Ray of Sunshine" marks Lux's first return to Transfixed since her 2019 debut for the banner, "How We Met" with co-star Natalie Mars.
“Coming back and working for Transfixed after a few years was absolutely amazing!" Lux said. "Bree and her entire crew really know how to treat their talents and make the entire set experience feel so safe and welcoming.”
She added, “I hadn’t familiarized myself with Ariel and her work, when Bree suggested we work together. I never argue with Bree for a potential pairing! Ariel and I had amazing chemistry and I really feel that it shines through in this scene.”
Echoed Demure, “The chemistry on and off camera with Cadence was electric. She was a blast to work with! Then with Michael and Siouxsie at the helm, this ended up being one of the most fun days I've had on set yet.”
“As a lifelong LGBTQ+ organizer and activist, getting the opportunity to have a part in the creation of beautiful, trans inclusive, lesbian content is a dream come true," commented Siouxsie Q. "I hope that showcasing these consent and pleasure centered experiences between legendary adult film performers like Ariel Demure and Cadence Lux, celebrates trans sexuality in a way that feels uplifting and affirming, especially as our country continues to enact policies that harm trans individuals.
“One trans inclusive adult film won’t end the transphobia that harms so many in our community, but I hope this little sexy romantic comedy at least helps chip away at the problem," she continued, "but it will take all of us leaning into and imagining a world free from it to get to the other side."
Added co-director Vegas, “I am so proud of what we created with this episode: it's a lovely snapshot of sex positive healing and true friendship that shows how expansive a relationship can be, when given the chance to bloom. Ariel and Cadence were an amazing pairing and really brought it with their acting skills. Directing alongside my real life partner Siouxsie Q is so rewarding and enjoyable—I truly feel that we are a real dream team of adult industry veterans, as we each bring such a unique set of complementing skills when we collaborate.”
This release marks the first of regular updates that will be helmed by the directing duo for the banner.
“I’m extremely proud of the roster of talented creators we are building at Transfixed,” said Mills, who serves as chief creative officer at Adult Time. “I love seeing the passion and care going into these productions, and Siouxsie and Michael are shining examples of how to do porn differently!”
