Match Mates
Match-Mates is a series of five fly-on-the-wall scenes centered round first time director, Liselle Bailey. Having already made her mark as a producer (London Sex Project, 2008), the ex-teacher has created her own blend of porn, featuring her bona fide porn star friends. Utilizing her unique connection with each performer, Bailey has captured genuine, lust-fuelled tension and occasionally blurs the director/performer boundaries.
