Kenna Embraces Noir in Wicked Noir's Dark Is The Night

Gorgeous star Kenna James is the lead in Wicked Noir's latest, really compelling feature Dark Is The Night directed by James Avalon. I love Wicked's new Noir line and how much care and attention is given to the storytelling and the art direction, which is done by legendary retired porn star Kylie Ireland. This feature stars James, Kiara Cole, Wicked/Gamma contract star/director Seth Gamble and Nathan Bronson. Here is what James had to say about her time starring in this and I absolutely recommend that you check this beautiful, moody and ambient feature out now!

Hello, Kenna How are you doing? How are things?

"Hey guys! I’m doing wonderful, thank you for asking. Things have been going wonderfully, lots of new projects in the making and that’s always exciting!"

Congrats on starring in Wicked’s Dark Is The Night! How does it feel seeing your work in it up on the Wicked site?

"Seeing my work on Wicked.com always fills me with an incredible amount of joy! I love watching all of the components come together from filming to sound to editing to make these impossibly real movies come to life."

What do you love most about your role in this?

"My favorite part about this role is getting to take on this 1940’s/1950’s housewife who is trying to take control of her life in any way possible and she will do whatever is required. I love how everything builds to the final boiling point!"

How was working with Wicked contract star Seth Gamble? His character is so interesting and different feeling for him in this.

"Seth Gamble is such an outstanding performer in any role he decides to take on! This was no exception. He always brings his A game and that makes it so much easier to feed off of when you're acting with him. I hope to follow in his footsteps in many ways!"

I love how you interacted with Nathan Bronson, who plays your husband in this. You both played off each other so well. What about him as a performer made him such a great fit for you in those moments?

"Nathan and I are good friends as it is so that definitely helps, but he is another wonderful actor who makes you feel as if it’s a real situation, even with the cameras there. He’s so sweet and sincere but when the cameras came on, he played the part so perfectly that I even wanted to hate him a little, ha ha."

What makes your Wicked scenes special? What do you enjoy most about working for Wicked?

"Wicked is what makes them so special. The time they put into their scenes, the casting, the setting, the story, etc.. All of that makes them one of the best companies in this industry. They care about us and because of that, they get some of the most amazing scenes, not just out of me, but out of everyone."

What about the noir style this line is in speaks to you most?

"I am absolutely in LOVE with the noir style and everything about it! One of the reasons I love it so much is because it’s so different from anything else I usually get to do. Another reason is because of the suspenseful story that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very last moment! There are so many more reasons to love this film, it's a must see!"

What makes you happiest these days? What always makes you smile?

"I love spending time at home with my cats and spending as much time outdoors as possible! I am so happy and thankful that this is my life and that will always make me smile!"

What else is coming up for you? What should your fans be on the lookout for?

"I have so many things to look forward to and I can’t wait to share them all with my fans! The next big thing is Spideypool XXX which debuts on Wicked this week and that is going to be huge so mark you calendars!"

Is there anything that you would like to say to your fans here at Fleshbot?

"I want to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You guys are the reason I get to continue doing this and you guys make me smile everyday! Keep being the best fans around and I will always give you the best content I possibly can!"
