This is an interview with veteran porn director (and shooter) Jim Powers.  It was recorded on January 11, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Adult Entertainment Expo.  Jim directed his first adult movie over sixteen years ago.  Since then, he is credited with 757 titles according to IAFD, but the real number is likely substantially higher.  This works out to 47+ movies a year, or nearly one a week continuously for nearly two decades straight.  Practically all Jim's work is hard gonzo, but not without a sense of humor and often more attention is given to a plot than one might expect.  As Jim discusses in the interview, he strives to create unique, memorable scenes that will still please even the most jaded raincoater.  Some of his popular series' over the years have included American Bukkake, The Babysitter, Gag Factor, Guttermouths, Kelly the Coed, Perverted Stories and The Violation of ... lesbian series.  In 2004, Powers formed his own production studio called Powersville.  The venture has proved successful and two successful series have resulted:  Filthy Things and School Girls.  He continues to shoot movies for JM Productions, Sin City and other adult studios as well.  His latest private label productions are The Animal, Bound and Little Runaway #02, "A punk rock love story."

This interview was recorded on August 19, 2004 in Topanga Canyon, California on the set of Sin City's Teen Dreams #01.  It was to be my first and only conversation with Haley.  Despite our short time together, she made a favorable impression on me.  I found Haley to be a genuinely nice, open and down to earth person.  The news of her death saddens me and I hope that she is at peace.

This is an interview with Asian starlet Tia Ling.  It was recorded at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas in January, 2007.  Tia was not appearing at a booth, so we recorded it in the Press Room.  Tia starting appearing in adult movies in 2006 after working as a dancer in the Midwest for a few years.  She has not relocated to porn valley, so she only shoots scenes for (outside) adult studios occasionally as a "commuter girl."  Although she isn't the most prolific APH, Tia's nasty scenes are memorable to porn fans and they look forward to a new batch of raincoater smut each time she makes the trip to California. Tia's APH Starlet Page contains additional information about her.  She also participates on the SRR discussion forum.  A popular message thread dedicated to her can be found here.  I posted few additional photos on this page that were taken right after this interview was completed.  Tia's official website can be found here.
