Wicked Pictures Gets A Rise Out Of Contract Superstar
Kaylani Lei And AVN Award Winning Director David Stanley!
Dateline: March 21, 2008 | The Azurix Group
LOS ANGELES, CA (MARCH 21, 2008 AZURIX) - Wicked Pictures is pleased to announce the release of the Kaylani Lei showcase Rise, a spiritually provocative new adult title from AVN award winning director David Stanley (whose previous collaborations with the starlet include the 2008 AVN award nominee Candelabra and the recent Double Exposure). A hauntingly erotic meditation on life-after-death, Rise finds Kaylani entering a new dimension as an actress and erotic performer with her portrayal of Melissa, a supernatural guide who meets recently deceased souls on their journey between this world and the next.
Her focus in Rise is Andy (Randy Spears), a gentleman who experiences an untimely death, only to have highlights of his time on Earth played back to him in the form of an actor's "highlight reel" after his demise. As his guide, Melissa narrates the events of his life in an effort to help him see the error of his ways. Her monologue soon reveals that whether it was due to his personal insecurities, his work ethic, or the repercussions of a broken heart, Andy never succeeded in finding true love during his short, tumultuous life.
The revelations of the highlight reel, coupled with Melissa's observations, soon raise the issue of second chances. Could it be that what wasn't possible on Earth could finally be attained in the spiritual realm? Through Melissa's guidance, Andy ponders the possibility of finally rising above the shortcomings that held him back in his mortal life.
In addition to Kaylani and Randy Spears, this thoughtful piece of erotica features multi-AVN award winning actor and filmmaker Brad Armstrong and such fan favorites as Brooke Banner, Chris Cannon, Evan Stone, Hollie Stevens, Kendall Brooks, Roxy DeVille, and Voodoo.
Erotic and challenging, Rise substantiates the views of critics who consider David Stanley to be one of contemporary adult films' most underrated major directors. In just the three years he's been with Wicked he has made more than a dozen features of consistent weight and personal vision, with a distinctive eye for aesthetics. But while he has often been appreciated for individual movies (or scenes), few writers have championed the sheer scope of his work. But while Stanley's doggedly personal course may have detached him from many fleeting adult "trends," his faith in character, narrative, and his discriminating visual style have combined to create such triumphs as Crème Brule, Compulsion, Crescendo 2012, All About Keri, Duality, and now, the erotic and enigmatic Rise.
Viewed together, David Stanley's movies form one of the liveliest tributaries of erotic art in adult films.
