Blake Lovely’s Directorial Debut: Grooby’s “Once Upon a TS Summer”

“Making this movie has been one of the most rewarding and fulfilling things I have done not just in my life as a performer, but in my life as a whole,” said Lovely, who stars in the film in addition to directing it.

“A feature with a connected storyline, complex character situations, and all mixed in the style of a 90s Tarantino flick seemed like a daunting task when we first started,” Lovely added. “Between our amazing cast and crew however, we came together and overcame every challenge to create something we truly believe is special. The sex pushed me and the other performers to the highest level and beyond, the dialogue was snappy/witty, and above all we made one hell of a coming-of-age story! Emphasis on the cumming.”

The studio said Lovely’s directorial debut is “about more than just sex—it’s about secrets, transformation, and the messy, unforgettable ride of growing up.”

“Some summers are for tanning, some are for healing, but this one? This one is for secrets, sex, and shedding every label,” the announcement added. “Blake Lovely stars as a college senior home for one last hurrah before graduation, but nothing could have prepared her for the chaos and climax that awaited. With unexpected encounters – bent over staircases, tied to authority figures, and haunted by the ghosts of football season’s past – this is a story of passion, transformation, and one unforgettable summer.”

Grooby CEO said that to “see Blake move from in front of the camera to behind it, and create something of this caliber as her very first feature, has been inspiring.”

“She put together an incredible team and guided a cast of some of the best names in our industry to deliver a film that is not only visually stunning, but also narratively ambitious,” he added. “Once Upon a TS Summer is the kind of project that reminds us why we keep pushing boundaries in trans erotica.”

The company noted that to help “bring her vision to life, Lovely selected an all-star production team.”

“Award-winning producer and performer Aiden Starr served as Director of Photography, bringing her signature visual flair and industry expertise to the project,” the announcement added. “Brah Bones, a respected name in mainstream entertainment, produced the film and helped elevate the storytelling with his cinematic touch. Together, the trio crafted a feature that blends artistry, narrative, and sexual intensity in equal measure.”

In addition to Lovely, the all-star cast of Once Upon a TS Summer includes Aubrey Kate, Foxxy, Jade Venus, Haven Rose, Draven Navarro, Pierce Paris, Sage Roux, Adam X, Derek Kage, Silas Stone, Tony Sting, and Steve Rickz.
