Katja Kassin Does SlutWerkz: Part 1

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Katja Kassin is asking a few good people for one good name.

The tall German brunette just finished directing her first title for Kylie Ireland's woman-power fuck-factory SlutWerkz.com, and she's started a thread over on the popular adult message board Adult DVD Talk that asks fans to name her movie. (So far Kassin's Assassins is in the lead.)

But Kassin's first title for SlutWerkz also marks her first time behind the camera, and as a new female director, Kassin applauds Ireland's new company.

"It's still an industry dominated by men," she told XFANZ. Ireland and other women around the industry back up that notion, which is one of the reasons why Ireland started SlutWerkz.

Another key reason was, of course, to let women like Kassin make steamy adult movies that would appeal to men. For Ireland and Kassin, that means making intense movies that leave no orifice un-plumbed.

"It's a fairy tale that girls only like to watch softcore," she said. "Kylie told me, 'You can do anything you want.'"

Ireland herself told XFANZ that if a prospective female director approached SlutWerkz with a pitch for a soft-focus piece of huggy, couples-friendly porn, Ireland would politely decline.

But hard hitters like Kassin will always be welcome at SlutWerkz.

"My movie is anal," she said. "It's all anal. All the girls do anal, and there are two DPs, including me. It's not a softcore movie. I can relate to it -- it's the kind of movie that people would expect from me."

Certainly Ireland expected anal-centric action from Kassin, who worked with the understanding that a helping hand would only be a phone call away. It turned out, though, that Kassin didn't need much help.

"Oh sure, I ran into the usual obstacles," she said. "Some people didn't show up, some people got there late, but we got it done."

Despite the female-friendly atmosphere at SlutWerkz, however, Kassin said she wouldn't want to work in an adult industry run entirely by women.

"There would be way more bitching and competition," she said. "It would be more like a bitch-fight. In every domain, it's always good to have a balance between women and men."

Note from Kylie: I am thrilled to have Katja directing for SlutWerkz...her first movie is titled "To The Hilt": and should be released in late September.
