Red Light District Video has signed rising star Tee Reel to an exclusive one-year performance contract.
Reel, who turned 24 last week, is a former music video director from Cleveland who got into porn eight months ago. He has performed in over 50 video scenes for companies such as Red Light District, Evil Angel, Hustler, VCA Pictures, All Media Play and Avalon Entertainment.
"My line is, 'I come on time and I cum on time,'" Reel told AVN.com Monday from the set of Red Light District's Brian Pumper Iz Down Wit Whitey.
Reel, who said about one third of his scenes so far have resulted from starlets requesting him, has already worked with India, Ice, Angel Eyes, Lauren Phoenix, Roxy, Simone and Amber Peach, who helped him get into the business. On Monday, Reel met Violet, who started doing porn two weeks ago and was doing her eighth scene.
"It went really, really good," Violet told AVN.com. "He was smooth. He did everything right."
Reel, who graduated from Columbia College in Chicago with a degree in film studies, said that being with Red Light is an honor.
"It means being aligned with, in my opinion, one of the best companies in the business," he said.
Reel, the first black man to perform in Hustler's popular Barely Legal series, said it was important to him that Red Light had instituted a two-week testing policy for talent.
"He is very professional," Red Light owner David Joseph told AVN.com. "He shows up on time and we feel he is A-talent and that fits great into our team."
Reel said he first shot with Red Light on a David Luger set about four months ago. He also joined in Red Light's gangbang with Roxy, though he says that gangbangs "were never my style."
The performer told AVN.com he is learning the separation between "fucking and fucking on camera."
"At home it's all about me," Reel explained. "Here it's about camera angles. It's about the girl. As much of a star as they want to make me, the girl gets first priority."
He continued, "… When it comes to fucking on set, you got to be professional. It's a job. There are a lot more perks in this than any other job, but truth be told, it's still a job."
