LOS ANGELES—Dorian Del Isla tells AVN he has returned to adult full time, armed with renewed energy, directing projects and a new app for creators.
The French performer/director—who debuted in 2016 in Europe—had stepped back from the industry for over a year while he focused on other ventures, such as building two different applications. One of the apps has no link to adult and the other is designed specifically for it.
During that time he remained involved in porn production on a limited basis, producing a few scenes and accepting select bookings from some of his friends. Other than that, it was all about business development.
Del Isla is launching OneLoad, an app that allows creators to post their scenes to every clip site at once. OneLoad utilizes custom integrations for each platform with no browser automation and no shortcuts.
“So you drag everything in one folder and drop it and you’re done—it’s live everywhere in a few hours,” Dorian says. “It keeps the days and date on one platform. There is no more uploading the same file six times. No more logging into six dashboards. You shoot it, you drop it, it's out there.”
Del Isla, who is working with a couple of tech specialists on the project, brought the first-hand expertise of what the biggest needs are for the professional content creator.
“Performers should be performing and not doing IT work,” Dorian reasons. “Distribution is the problem nobody talks about. We fixed it.
“So we try to do something really easy. We did it with AI tools for sure. And we did it and it worked for big platforms; we did a lot of scenes. We're starting with Faphouse. Each site gets done right before we move to the next.
“It was a lot of work, but we will be more in peace now because we can go to market. So I go back to the industry and accept bookings.”
Del Isla, who is represented by ATMLA, has amassed more than 560 performing credits in the U.S. and Europe. He relocated to L.A. from Ibiza, Spain, in December 2021.
The former paratrooper in the French Army, who also owned a strip club before adult, now directs for Private and more recently Bang! Productions when he’s not performing for other companies.
“My head was under water for a long time and since [three] months I came back,” he says. “Now I can breathe. Now I want and I need to come back. I don’t have to stress about my two projects. My mind is really light now.”
He has become a go-to guy for Team Skeet and also performs for Bellesa and others.
“I’m open to everything,” says Del Isla, a native of Bordeaux who started directing more than three years ago for a French studio.
Last year he added Private to his list of directing clients, shooting three movies a month.
“It works well, so after they ask me to do one series, it’s like cuckold—Please Fuck My Wife. So I shoot that series and apparently it’s pretty good and it works well for Private.com clients and now we start to start for Bang.com in L.A., too,” Del Isla tells AVN.
The chance to call the shots for Bang became a full-circle moment for Del Isla, who recalls being a loyal consumer of the site many years ago.
“Bang was one of my websites,” he says with a laugh. “It’s like watching a live football match and then after… meeting the football player. It’s so cool. … It’s like dreams coming true.”
Del Isla says that his extensive experience as a performer is invaluable when he gets behind the camera.
“That’s the big advantage, I really understand the male talent,” Dorian says. “I know not to give them some difficult position on the furniture, on the table, on the motorcycle driving at 6 mph, I have a lot of examples,” he jokes.
“When you’re a director and still a talent, you know what will make a good scene or not. And when the male talent is very comfortable, the scene is way better.”
Meanwhile, Del Isla stays in performing shape by running, boxing and surfing.
“I always keep doing that and making sure my body and my mind are in a perfect state,” says Dorian, who spent seven years in a French commando unit that was referred to as para-rescue men.
“I missed the industry, I do that since 10 years. When I had a problem in my life, when you arrive on set, it’s like a piece of heaven. Everything is at the door, so you’re just cool. People are smiling to you, beautiful girl. It’s a bowl of fresh air… So now even if I have another big project I will try to keep the industry in my life."
