VALENCIA, Calif.—Skow for Girlfriends Films has tapped the award-winning David Stanley as the newest director as the imprint expands. Stanley has previously been a screenwriter for many of the feature movies from Skow for Girlfriends Films, which launched in 2012.
“David is a veteran director with a keen eye for erotic cinema and the kinds of adult movies audiences like,” B. Skow said. “He’s a creative genius and a great friend with a long list of accomplishments who brings a lot of expertise and know-how to Skow for Girlfriends films. I’m just very excited to have him.”
As one of the major driving forces behind Girlfriends Films’ growth in the past year, Skow for Girlfriends Films has become known for redefining genres. With the addition of Stanley and his brand of eclectic, story-driven features, Skow for Girlfriends Films aims to further expand its production footprint across the industry.
Having taken a four-year break from directing to get married and explore other creative ventures, Stanley is back in his director’s chair with a clear vision, and passionate about continuing his filmmaking journey.
“I'm both very, very nervous and extremely excited to be returning,” Stanley said. “I'm excited to be working with B. Skow, for sure. He and I share a complex appetite to produce unique, original stories incorporating great sex. There’s no one else I’d rather work, and directing for Skow for Girlfriends Films is a huge honor!”
A mainstream film director since 1994, Stanley joined the adult industry in 1995 as a producer for Vivid and other companies. He directed his first adult film in 1997. As one of the most prolific directors in the industry, Stanley earned AVN Awards for Best Director and Best Screenplay in 2005 for Pretty Girl. More recently, he earned the AVN Award for Best Screenplay in 2011 for The Condemned, which was directed by Skow.
At the 2015 AVN Awards, his script for These Things We Do was up for Best Screenplay.
With a number of awards and nominations for his work as director and writer under his belt, Stanley is set to begin directing two features later this month for Skow for Girlfriends Films. Media interested in visiting Stanley’s set may email [email protected].
“B. Skow has always understood me and my vision,” Stanley said. “He is the only true artist I've ever met in adult and far and away the best director. He's an incredibly gifted and smart guy who brings out the best in me. I love how he encourages creativity and always looks for new ways of doing things. He's a friend and an inspiration and whatever future success I have, I owe in no small part to him.”
Movies from Skow for Girlfriends Films continue to defy conventional porn genres. B. Skow’s features infuse sex and narrative in a unique way, while recent release, A Gonzo Story: The Mansion Family, is helping to redefine gonzo porn through its emphasis on and elimination of various traditional elements of the genre.
