"It's a very good movie, and I'm happy with everybody involved. The cast and crew is here, and also many people who work for Dorcel," Greenwood told AVN. "I really feel that Tommy Pistol's performance in Strip was amazing. I've been directing him for six or seven years now, in many types of roles, and this was the first time I've seen him disappear in a character. I didn't see Tommy, I see the strip club owner. I see the struggle of the bar owner in his performance. I feel that it’s the best performance that he's done this year."
Strip also marked the return of Riley Reid. "It was my first time working for Dorcel, and it was amazing," she told AVN. My favorite part was probably Tommy Pistol. He is an amazing person to be on set with, his energy is incredible. He is one of the best actors in porn. Sometimes he affected my performance in a negative aspect, because I was so enamored by him, watching him deliver his lines, when it was my turn to respond I forgot my lines. I was just watching him.
"It was great being back on set. It was beautiful being able to rekindle relationships with people I knew and be a part of the set life. The makeup artists I haven't seen in years, the sound guy I haven’t seen in five-plus years. It was like I was the newcomer. By day two I was back in the flow. Hopefully, maybe again we'll do something in the future."
Attendees included Strip cast members Anna Claire Clouds, Nicole Kitt, Nicole Vaunt, Ameena Green, and Ken Feels, as well as Lilly Bell, Lana Smalls, Jennifer White, Yhivi, Gal Ritchie, Kylie Rocket, Octavia Red, Elly Clutch, Shawn Alff—who wrote the screenplay—and talent manager Mark Spiegler.
Strip received eight nominations for the upcoming AVN Awards, including Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Hair & Makeup, Best Leading Actor for Tommy Pistol, and Grand Reel.
