Adult Time Now Has Double The Holly!

Producer/director Holly Randall now has her second channel on Adult Time. Her first channel on the network is the porn world focused Holly Randall Unfiltered podcast and now, you can find some of Randall's directorial work on her Holly Randall Productions channel. Here's what Randall had to say about doubling down on this awesome porn network.

Hello, Holly! How are you? How are things in your world?
"Things are actually better than expected-- I'm kind of enjoying this quarantine downtime. I'm pregnant, just entering my second trimester, so the ability to rest and avoid stress has been great. I've been using this time to work hard on my podcast and YouTube channel, and so it's been a wonderful opportunity to focus on marketing in a way I wasn't able to before."

Congrats on having your new Holly Randall Productions channel on Adult Time! How does it feel to have it there?
"It's really wonderful to see my work get extra exposure and fresh eyes on it-- Adult Time has so much high-quality programming, I'm quite proud to see my work included in there."

You have two channels on Adult Time now--your production company and your podcast. This seems like a real investment/vote of confidence in Adult Time.What about Adult Time made you want to have both of these works of yours there?
"I really like the people at Adult Time, and I love how much they've pushed the envelope and are really shaping the future of adult entertainment. The idea of having a multi-channel streaming service like Netflix was something a lot of people in the adult world spoke of as a necessity, but nobody seemed to really have the focus and the ability to actually realize such a thing until Adult Time came along. Adult Time is truly an innovator and is towing the line in our industry."

What is working with Bree Mills like? She really speaks highly of your work.
"The admiration is definitely mutual. Bree has a worth ethic that is truly enviable, but also her ideas and talent are so far beyond so many of her contemporaries. I love how multi-dimensional she is, that she can write and direct a cerebral thriller such as Perspective, but then do a total 180 and make a touching and meaningful coming-of-age story such as Teenage Lesbian."

What do you plan to have your Adult Time scenes focus on?
"Well a majority of my work is solo girl-- it really is my favorite kind of scene to shoot. I like the intimacy of being able to focus and work with one girl at a time. I'd like to experiment with more natural lighting and relatable scenarios in the future, take more time shooting each scene. Maybe more girl/girl work."

What other channels on Adult Time do you enjoy/think are awesome?
"I love Pure Taboo as it gets into some really interesting themes. I also really REALLY love that Adult Time encourages their performers to write their own scenes, I've spoken to many girls on my podcast who talk about being able to express important life experiences through scenes that they've written and performed in for Adult Time. I think it's SO important to give performers a chance to work behind the scenes as well-- it gives them more agency over their work and it gives the audience some really cool new concepts to enjoy."

What is inspiring your work these days? What creatively is stirring/moving you?
"I'm really dying to finish my art book, and I'm really leaning towards a more natural look with lighting, makeup, and styling. I know I'm well known for my glamour work but some of my favorite shots have been when I go for a more organic look. I'd actually love to shoot more black and white film."

How has your podcast changed you as a director? Has it changed the way you do things at all?
"Absolutely. It's a wonderful reminder about what the performers need on set in order to deliver their best work. It's opened my eyes to new experiences and ideas. And it's definitely made me feel closer to the people I work with and the adult community as a whole."

What else is coming up for you? What should fans be on the lookout for?
"As I mentioned, I'm working on finishing up my art book. That's my ultimate goal for this year, and then afterwards I'd really like to do a documentary on my mother, Suze Randall. However, having a baby this year I have a feeling is going to probably pump the brakes on some of my ambitions for at least a little while. "

Is there anything you would like to say to your fans here at Fleshbot?
"Thank you so much for supporting me-- after over 20 years in the business I feel so fortunate to be where I am today, and my fans have been so amazing in pushing me forward to constantly improve my work and seek out other opportunities. I'm incredibly grateful!"
