Trina Michaels Makes Directing Debut for Mayhem

LOS ANGELES — Adult star Trina Michaels is set to make her directing debut this weekend for Sin City gonzo imprint, Mayhem. In the adult industry for more than three years, Michaels is stoked to move behind the camera after performing in a few hundred movies.

Michaels’ movie, titled “Dick Hunters,” stars Eve Laurence, Austin Kincaid, Sophie Dee and Michaels herself. The premise of the movie is Michaels and her girls are on the lookout for hot, new male stars “because we’re tired of fucking the same guys over and over again. We want some fresh meat,” Michaels told XBIZ. Michaels will accompany each girl as they go “on the prowl.”

Some of the locations she'll be prowling include the malls, the beach, the airport, and parking lots near skate and surf shops.

Initially not bit by the directing bug when she entered the business, Michaels said that her desire to direct grew since last year after her friends encouraged her to step behind the camera. Her directing debut was a result of an impromptu meeting she had with Sin City General Manager Scott Justice in May.

“I was in there to pick up copies of my movies for a dancing gig and just said ‘fuck this,’ there’s no time like the present, so I floated the idea that I was interested in directing and we went from there,” Michaels said.

Michaels said that her experience as a performer enhanced her understanding of how a movie gets made, how to relate to talent, proper camerawork and because she’s “a pervert at heart.”

“Being on many sets and after getting a feel for what directors want — opening up to the camera — I feel I can run a fun and professional set,” Michaels said. “I’ve worked with a lot of different directors who each have their own style. I’m just trying to get my own style out there. I know what looks hot as a performer, so now I just have to flip it around to the other side as a director.”

Michaels counts Rick Davis, Bridgette Kerkove and Jim Lee who will be shooting camera on “Dick Hunters,” as influences.
