Misha Cross Trumpets Foreign Feature XBIZ Awards Win

LOS ANGELES — Performer-filmmaker Misha Cross is celebrating a 2019 XBIZ Awards win as Foreign Feature Release of the Year.

The kudos were bestowed on Cross’ directorial debut, “Misha in Exile,” from Evil Angel. “The Polish porn powerhouse is no stranger to a trophy or ten for her onscreen performances, but this year’s XBIZ win marks a huge milestone for the porcelain-skinned beauty,” a rep said.

"Misha in Exile" tells the story of "her 2015 deportation from the U.S.A., interlinked with hardcore and beautifully shot sex. The film is a showcase for Misha’s passion, not only for intense anal and brutal gonzo porn, but also her imagination and vision. With her cinematographer, Lucky Red, and an original soundtrack composed entirely by Samantha Bentley, who also costars in her final adult scene, Cross has created a masterpiece in adult film.”

Cross expressed gratitude for the honor.  “I’m extremely honored and proud to win Best Foreign Feature, especially because this is the first movie I’ve produced, and its very emotional and personal to me,” she said.

“I'm just happy that it got such amazing recognition. We have put so much effort into making this the most beautiful piece and to win this award really makes all the hard work worth it. The fact that ‘Misha in Exile’ won really shows that in life everything happens for a reason and all the dots are connected. I’d like to thank Evil Angel for giving me the platform to release this movie, to express my soul and for believing in me since day one. I can’t wait for what the future brings.”

In related news, her follow-up feature, “Elements,” has a Feb. 11 street date. Last year, she was the inaugural XBIZ Europa Awards winner for Best Actress (click here). Follow Cross on Twitter here.
