Exile Distribution to Release Severe Sex's 'Ms. Grey'

LOS ANGELES—If you want something done right, sometimes you've got to do it yourself. And if there's one thing Dee Severe knows how to do right, it's kinky erotica. So who better to provide a take on Fifty Shades of Grey that's more true to the lifestyle player's experience? Severe, co-owner of Severe Sex, teamed up with director/performer Lily Cade to co-direct Ms. Grey, which puts a lesbian twist on the Fifty Shades storyline. Released by Exile Distribution, Ms. Grey is a three-hour, two-disc feature. “We wanted to plug into viewers’ desire for edgy, romantic porn that has an emotional connection, all those elements that made the mainstream version so popular," said Severe. "But we also wanted to fix the plot. The thing that upsets me about that movie is, Grey's kinkiness is seen as this huge, dark flaw—it's what's wrong with him. In our version, being kinky is a good thing. Ms. Grey's huge, dark flaw is that she's kind of an jerk, and she cheats on Annabelle." Added Cade, “Ms. Grey gave me a chance to collaborate with another woman director and showcase a different side of myself as a performer. I'm known for my high-intensity scenes, but playing Grey allowed me to step up the kink factor. I immersed myself in Fifty Shades in order to write this script, and loved getting to put my twist on this character and story." "Ms. Gray sits at the highest level of a new type of adult film, the story-driven, couples-friendly fetish feature," noted Jimmy Broadway, co-owner of Severe Sex and executive producer and cinematographer of Ms. Grey. "While I am extremely pleased with every aspect of this feature, I'm happiest with the work of our amazing cast. This project required triple-threat performers able to handle intense BDSM play, deliver smoking-hot sex and act at the level of a mainstream film actress. All five ladies came through beyond my expectations." Ms. Grey stars Cade, Skin Diamond, Ela Darling, Kasey Warner and San Francisco-based newcomer Dolly Leigh. "Dolly has only been in the business a couple of months, but she did such a great job. She genuinely has that young, innocent vibe, and real acting ability," said Severe. "And Lily is the consummate lesbian top. This isn't your sweet, gentle kind of girl/girl action—everyone really goes hard. There's lots of kink and lots of fierce sex." "Severe Sex does it again," said Exile's Howard Levine. "With four-star reviews coming in on their other titles, they have raised the bar again to define the real world of BDSM. Right now they are the premier line for all things kinky, and Ms. Grey leaves nothing to the imagination. This is the real deal." Ms. Grey streets May 27.
