World X Releases its
First Adult DVD Title
Posted:2:00 am PDT 2006-05-04
Just more than a year since its inception, World X Productions has released its
first title, Divalicious Vol. 1 this week. It took a little time to get it
out, because we wanted to get it just right, but were happy to see it out,
said Fran Lupo, who co-owns New Jersey-based World X with Mikey Ballz.
The DVD title features wall-to-wall sex with a handful of East Coast-based starlets who
get into nasty lesbian and boy-girl action. Having shot the scenes last summer, the company had been in the
process of editing and doing postproduction on the title and others until recently.
We were producing a bunch of
other videos so that we could hit the market at about the same time and keep our name out
there, Lupo said.
Featuring Gianna Lynn, in her first
girl-girl scene, the title also includes Angelina Hart in one of her final scenes, along
with Daryn Darbie and Sophia Sky.
Gianna and Mikey Ballz put on
quiet a strong performance in her boy-girl scene. Gianna is a superstar in the making,
Lupo said.
Daryn Darbie was another good
actress to have worked with. She took on both Johnny Irons and J.J. in some intense
threesome action.
Even as the title hits the street this
week, the company plans to roll out Divalicious 2 and 3, in the next few
weeks as World X wraps up production on another new series, Sex Club City, featuring
a sex club where new members are initiated through a series of sex acts.
Were hoping that by the
end of this year well release the four Sex Club Citytitles and have eight
more titles for next year, Lupo said.
The company was established more than
a year ago when Lupo and Ballz, who were working with a number of East Coast production
companies, decided to go independent with their own features.
Ballz, who had been a mainstream male
model, got into porn in 2003 after he was spotted by porn producers who were impressed
with his physique.
At first I wasnt really
sure if I wanted to do this, but after a while, I started to like the business,
Ballz said.
Lupo also joined the industry as a
talent scout and then went on to produce and direct.
Finally, the couple joined forces and
created World X Productions as a reality-based porn company.
We do gonzo, but its all
reality-type of stuff, Lupo said.
The company has provided the models
for Gina Lynn Productions and Joe Gallants New York-based Black Mirror Productions
for their features.
Its not at all like it is
in California. There are probably only about 12 companies out here so we knew we had a
good chance to make a go of it, she said.
Having also started its own talent
agency under the World X umbrella, the couple is slowly building its talent pool and its
business strategy at the same time.
New York and the rest of the
East Coast isnt a huge market, but when people come out this way, they tend to
contact us because they heard of us and they heard of our company so they want to work
with us, Lupo said.
