On the Set: Devil's Film's 'The Tranny Bunch'

Something electric is in the air as the seemingly normal routine of shooting a standard feature porn parody unfolds. But this is no ordinary parody at all. “We’re making fucking history here!” exclaims writer/director Jim Powers from the sound stage. “No one has ever done this before. We’re raising the bar in transsexual porn.” In fact, Devil’s Film is striving to turn the modern-day porn parody, a boom started by Will Ryder's Not the Bradys XXX, right on its head with the genre-bending production at hand, The Tranny Bunch—the studio's first transsexual parody. (And while it's true that this has hardly ever been done before, Juicy Entertainment did take a stab at it in 2011 with the Foxxy-starring This Is Definitely Not Ugly Betty: A XXX Tranny Parody.) In this ultra-bizarro take on the Brady clan (which by the way also incorporates the currently exploding taboo relations element), Khloe Hart as Cindy Brady fucks brother Greg, played by Ruckus (a pro Dom who spends the majority of his time involved in heavy fetish, stringing people up, dragging them through public, gangbanging in public and electrocuting his sexual partners). Aubrey Kate plays the one and only Marcia, and fucks Peter, played by Giovanni Francesco. Jan Brady is played by Holly Parker and gets to fuck her father, enacted by super stud Wolf Hudson. Mother Carol Brady is played by Delia Delions, and her pairing is with youngest son Bobby, played by Chad Diamond. Parker, a 23-year-old blonde standing 6-foot-7 in heels, is particularly excited to be here. Though she says she's not really a hardcore fan of the 1970s sitcom, she's in love with the clothes. Asked about her director, she says, "Jim is amazing. I think he's one of the funniest people I've ever met." There’s a strong vibe of happiness flowing from stage to make-up room. More than half of the cast has never been in a feature before, nor had to read from a script. “Come on everyone, you only have one line. Can you all just get your one line right?” Jim implores the cast from the immaculately dressed set. “Look, we’re changing the game here. This isn’t some cheap hotel room somewhere down in Brazil. We’re making a serious movie here and taking transsexual porn to the next level.”  The trans performers take his words to heart. Far from disgruntled, jaded sex stars, they are refreshingly energetic and fun to be around. Lots of ass-grinding, dirty jokes, selfies and laughter ensue as the shoot rolls on. Devil's has made a new discovery in non-sex talent for this movie as well, with the role of Alice played by Dodd. This is the actor's debut in adult, coming from the world of comedy. Watch out for this guy—in drag or not, this will not be the last of his hilarious antics we see around XXX, hopefully. As ambitious as this production is—a beautiful set, costumes, lighting, all the frills of a full-scale parody feature—nobody forgets that they're making porn. And that's what could make this Brady parody stand out from the rest. Well, that and the penises on all the girls. The Tranny Bunch is available now for VOD viewing on DevilsFilm.com. The movie hits DVD June 1. See the trailer here.
