AF: By the way, I'd also like to take a moment to talk about the other men in action, such as Russell Grand, who also acted with Sierra. What is it like to work with him? How does he get along with the actresses? What anecdotes does he have from the studio?
JW: Russel was a fun guy to work with on set and to hang with at convention.
He was always respectful to the models and did great on set. As to anecdotes, there were lots of different things. My favorites were during his scenes in Taboo Family Vacation. The what to do with Grandpa discussions were completely unscripted!!
AF: Ufff, I like it when things just come naturally or work out the first time. Favorite scene or film with Russel?
JW: I'd have to say a scene we filmed for Hope Harper called Daddy's Monkey Business. Russel was trying to earn my business while Hope kept interrupting and eventually started riding me in the middle of the meeting. Both of us and his partner had a hard time keeping semi straight faces but that's definitely one of the most memorable. Although there were several over the years.
Hope Harper
AF: Cool.
What is it like working with Hope Harper?
How did you meet her?
What are your favorite videos with her?
This time, I couldn't say which is her most memorable work because there's so much to cover.
I know she's also between being an actress and a baby mama.
JW: Hope is a whirlwind trapped in a hurricane on top of a volcano when it comes to her energy levels. She had lots of crazy ideas and concepts over the years to be sure. Conventions like AVN and exxxotica we would go non stop between filming, events plus the booth. Hope traveled with us quite a bit for long runs and we had some very unique side trips. We toured caverns, filmed in a ghost town, skipped rocks on rivers and had some pretty crazy adventures.
We met at Grandpa's I believe. She came down to shoot more than kissing cousins with Bailey Paige, Grandpa and I. We hit it off pretty well and the rest is on the internet LMAO.
Nailing down 1 favorite scene with hope is almost impossible but the moment that stands out the most is also during taboo family vacation. After Kate England unalived gramps with her awesome ass we decided, in the family meeting, to throw him in the van and take him with us. Riding down the road hope was supposed to accidentally stroke his cock, gramps was supposed to groan and we were going to cut tape. She innocently looked at the camera and said "I stroked him back to life". The whole crew lost it
AF: Lol, so you guys share a love for outdoor locations.
Is it challenging when you film outdoors?
JW: Outdoor filming can be a major challenge as in some cases there's a slim chance you might get caught breaking a law. Even scenes in vehicles with extreme tint in the right circumstances can get you in big trouble. Most of our outdoor stuff was done on private property we had permission for. When Alice and I were doing outdoor cam shows moderators would often request proof of location. Lighting was always difficult outdoors too. We did one series that was public hookup based and getting the right intro in believable locations was always a challenge too.
Alice Merchesi and Jack Moore
AF: And since you mention cam shows, what is it like to work in them? I know Alice Merchesi is the specialist.
How different is it to record live?
Was it something you could work on during the pandemic?
How much does it pay?
JW: Cam shows are a whole different ballgame. Some of the actions are specific tips but we ran games that had everything from a blown kiss to 2 min of sex. One of the biggest with me an Alice was edging blowjobs. Fans would tip to keep her blowing in hopes they would get a cumshot for way less tokens. Alice knew just how not to make me pop for as long as 37 minutes but if it was a cumshot she had me in under 6 minutes. The scamdemic was really why we started camming. Alice and I lived close by and had no outside partners at the time. Once TTS got clear guidelines for COVID protocols we brought in other talent. Some shows we made really good money but most were less than the girls would have made shooting. I set a minimum they would take home regardless and many many days I had to hope at least the footage would generate enough to cover the losses. 5 years later I'm still in the hole with Cam shows no pun intended.
AF: In your opinion, do you get along better with Alice in films or cam shows? What is your favorite thing about doing cam?
And let's talk for a moment about another male collaborator, Jack Moore, with whom you and Alice have a lot of synergy.
JW: In my opinion Alice and I get along the same either way lol.
My favorite thing about cams is I have no decisions to make, the audience kind of takes care of that.
Jack is a long story lol. We've done so much together over the years. He is quite a character on and off set.
AF: Cams are the people's democracy, lol.
What kind of character is Jack?
To keep it simple, tell me your favorite project with him.
JW: I can't narrow it down to one project...... He played the joker in Daddy made me a monster, didn't research his character at all ( I literally cast his part that day) and still pulled it off perfectly.
Camming he was always fun and funny. His acting in Suckem Strokem Sexbots series, Santa for hopes christmas movie and so many more brought realism plus comedy to the set.
AF: So, what's it like working with more male talent? Logistically and personally? Are threesomes fun? Have you tried with gangbangs?
JW: The more male talent involved the harder it can get. No pun intended. I've done multiple bbg threesomes with minimal issues unless it was a new guy. With the right female talent it can be a blast. We tried a gangbang and it didn't come out even close to what I expected. One of the guys had never done a dp. He got nervous and things went south.
AF: I understand, and I'm sorry that working with multiple people can be challenging.
But that makes me wonder, do you have any projects you've abandoned?
JW: Multiple women is easy multiple men and anything can throw things off kilt lol.
Several actually. We had a gameshow concept that involved pies and recruiting average guys at porn conventions called it's anybody's mess. I had a few femdom concepts tank and of course plain vanilla sex lol. I've even had a few collaborations hit the cutting room floor prelaunch. Often times we can recycle them in another genre but a few ended up losing money
AF: Aw man, the pie concept sounds interesting. I hope you can recycle it later.
Conclusion:
And wow, that was a long list of questions, and even though there are several projects and actresses, I think I have enough. Let me think for a moment about some closing questions.
J
W: You never know when it comes to recycling when something might actually be usable. I don't know why, but I have a feeling this is going to end up leading to at least one more interview anyway, so we're probably at a good stopping point LOL
AF: Okay, I think we can wrap this up with these questions:
How do you plan to optimize audience interaction?
What does a good pie feel like to you? (i.e., what do you feel in the moment of the act?)
So, are the rumors of on-camera impregnations just an urban legend? (Or are there actual cases?)
What are some things (ideas and customs) that you haven't done yet that you'd love to do in the future?
Now that you've just turned 55, what do you consider the best thing you've accomplished in your career?
JW: For audience interaction I generally stick with twitter @jwties and tiktok (also @jwties). Fans also can hit me up on loyalfans or email JWties@gmail.com along with most of the fetish forums like FetLife.
Unfortunately most of the time with creampie scenes I'm more worried about camera angle and penis depth so enough comes out during the close-up. Don't get me wrong there's still the endorphin rush but if I'm holding the camera it's more work than you can imagine trying to get the shot.
There were a few on camera impregnations but I'm not gonna spill those beans just yet.
I really haven't given new concepts much thought yet. I'm still walking a fine line with the visa mc debacle and I also walk the barely legal fauxcest roles line. Once I get a handle on it I'll probably start some outdoor adventures series or something with banjo music lol.
At 55 I'm gonna have to say my career was my biggest accomplishment. I was dead broke with no employment opportunities in my trade. I knew nobody in this industry and nothing about it. I picked up a camera, got a little crazy and somehow became someone millions of people know.....
AF: 1. Checked
2. Damn, even the best job has its downsides
3. I understand, can I at least get a hint? (jk)
4. Banjojob lol
5. And you've accomplished quite a lot, I'd say. Thanks again for this interview. I have a lot of editing work to do, but it was very entertaining to read you
JW: Lol maybe this will get someone to reach out and produce my book
