PARIS—International adult powerhouse Dorcel announces that it has signed an exclusive deal for VOD distribution of releases from production studio HardWerk (HardWerk.com), owned by Spanish director/producer Paulita Pappel and Rod Wyler, who also directs for the studio.
Involved in Berlin's queer feminist community for more than a decade, Pappel has been an advocate for a positive culture of sex and consent, and addresses societal taboos about sexuality through her productions. Under the deal, HardWerk releases will be distributed by Dorcel via VOD in Europe, the United States, Canada and Africa.
"At HardWerk, we choose our collaborators and partners carefully," said Pappel. "We want to work with companies and people who fit our philosophy and purpose. That's why we're thrilled to work with Dorcel, an established and worldwide recognized brand that stands for quality films and fair production standards. We are confident that our productions are in good hands."
Pappel was born in 1987 in Madrid and has lived in Berlin since 2005. She shot her first scenes as a performer in 2010, for Erika Lust. She created the couples-friendly platform Lustery.com in 2016 and began directing and producing her own videos. She quickly became a luminary of the alternative porn scene and Berlin's feminist queer community. She founded HardWerk in 2020.
In the mainstream, Pappel is an intimacy coordinator for major studios, and has been a programmer and curator for the Porn Film Festival Berlin since 2013.
