TAMPA, Fla.—Adult filmmaker Claudia Ross earned two nominations at the 2026 NightMoves Awards: Best Feature Director and Best Feature Film for the thriller Through Her Lens.
The Elegant Angel feature, which stars Octavia Red, earned an Editor’s Choice review from AVN in April, and in May, Ross took home three trophies for Through Her Lens at Italy’s DSN Awards, marking a major career milestone for the Italian-born director, writer and editor.
"I am incredibly honored to be nominated for Best Feature Director at the 2026 NightMoves Awards, and even more thrilled that Through Her Lens has also been nominated for Best Feature. This recognition means so much to me and is a testament to the hard work, creativity, and dedication of our entire cast and crew. Bringing Through Her Lens to life was a true passion project, and I’m grateful to Elegant Angel who believed in the vision and helped make it a reality. To be recognized alongside so many talented filmmakers is both humbling and inspiring."
