LOS ANGELES—Inka Winter and ForPlay Films have been recognized with three nominations for the 2025 AVN Awards.
The nominations include Best Actor—Featurette (Nathan Bronson for Parkour XXX), Best Boy/Girl Sex Scene (Nicole Kitt and Jonte for "The Proposal"), Best Directing Portfolio—Narrative for Inka Winter.
Winter’s work is known for creating spaces where talent feels empowered to collaborate, bringing their ideas, talents, and fantasies to life on screen, a studio representative said.
Winter crafted Parkour XXX to showcase Bronson’s talent as a parkour artist. Collaborating with Bronson, the story follows a man determined to make it to his date on time, hurdles through the city, grabbing flowers, and conquering obstacles along the way. A feminist twist subverts traditional tropes by centering Bronson’s efforts to respect his partner’s time and intentions, according to the script's synopsis.
"The Proposal" captured "real-life emotion and love," as Kitt and Jonte were a real-life couple at the time, accoridng the representative. After the first meeting on Winter’s Ashford Manor production, the pair hit it off and later asked Winter to collaborate on Jonte’s real-life proposal to Kitt. The scene begins with an actual proposal and transitions into a sexual encounter.
Winter’s Best Directing Portfolio nomination reflects her talent for crafting multidimensional stories, compelling characters and performances that challenge "conventional" approaches to adult filmmaking. Winter said, "My storytelling philosophy puts the narrative at the forefront, using sex as a vehicle to move the story forward, rather than building films solely to showcase sex."
Of the nominations, Winter said, "I am so honored and grateful to be recognized by AVN. Each project represents what I love most about filmmaking: collaboration, authenticity, and storytelling that elevates the human experience, and I want to also thank the incredible team behind all of my films, as well as the amazing fans who support our vision."
