LOS ANGELES—Vixen Media Group today announced the release of a new five-part, star-studded installment of its award-winning showcase series Influence starring multiple AVN Award winner Vanna Bardot and marking her anal debut. The all-anal feature will be released as a crossover on VMG sites Tushy, Blacked and Slayed.
Directed by AVN Hall of Fame inductee Derek Dozer, the new project delves into the sultry underworld of organized crime, crypto-scammers and the complex entanglement of personalities, sex and the power of influence. The movie co-stars Vicki Chase, April Olsen, Jax Slayher, Dante Colle, Alex Jones, Little Dragon, Maximo Garcia and newly re-signed exclusive contract star Jason Luv. The first episode debuts today, September 10 on Tushy, and sequential scenes will drop throughout September across Blacked and Slayed.
The high-budget production also features an original theme song by musician and adult performer Queenie Sateen, produced by George Lewis Jr., titled "Under My Influence." The song is both inspired by and produced specifically for the movie, and Sateen makes a special guest appearance to perform the track.
“To say that this showcase is a dream come true is such an understatement,” Bardot said. “I've always admired VMG’s work and to be given this opportunity has been a surreal experience. From the moment this project became real, I dedicated myself completely to it. It has profoundly changed my life in so many positive ways. I deeply respect and appreciate everyone involved. The cast and crew went above and beyond to make this movie the absolute best it could be. I want to thank director Derek Dozer for making it what it is. I can’t wait for everyone to see the magic that we’ve made!”
Part one of the series gives audiences Bardot’s highly anticipated first-ever anal performance, while part three takes it up a notch and features her first double penetration scene. Since her first Vixen Media Group scene in 2019, Bardot has appeared in 22 titles for the brand, which can be viewed across the company’s portfolio of banners such as Vixen, Slayed, Blacked, Deeper and Blacked Raw.
"Working with Vanna and the entire crew was an incredible experience,” said director Dozer. “This is my biggest showcase to date, and it does not disappoint! I’ve known Vanna for a while now, and she has become one of the top stars in the business, bar none. Her performance from top to bottom, from her screen presence as an actress to the stellar scenes, was just phenomenal. The entire cast was simply stellar."
Bardot's previous work across Vixen Media Group's exclusive brands have earned her widespread recognition within the adult industry. She has won several of the industry's top awards, including the 2023 AVN Awards for Best Girl/Girl Sex Scene in "Heat Wave" on Slayed, and Best Foursome/Orgy Scene in "High Gear" on Blacked Raw, among others.
"I had an absolute blast working with Vanna and the whole crew,” said co-star Luv. “It was an incredible experience, and we had such a great time on set. Stay tuned, 'cause this film is gonna be seriously special!"
