San Francisco, CA – Ethical porn production and distribution company TROUBLEfilms is pleased to carry the work of director Tobi Hill-Meyer. This exciting collaboration will open new avenues for both companies, and make Hill-Meyer’s films more readily available to her quickly growing fan base.

Tobi Hill-Meyer’s films Doing It Ourselves: The Trans Women Porn Project and The Genderfellator, produced by Handbasket Productions, are available for wholesale through TROUBLEfilms immediately, adding to Courtney Trouble’s films Live Sex Show and Fuckstyles. Contact info@troublefilms.com to place your order now.

Trouble has been a major player in showcasing queer identity and transsexual performers in ethically made independant porn, and is strongly supportive of trans women’s presence in the industry, especially in cases where performers get the chance to define their own terms and represent themselves on screen.

“This new partnership is an opportunity to bring two smaller businesses together to become a larger force in the industry at large, while bringing awareness to the importance of inclusion and positive representation in the adult industry,” says Trouble. “I am enthusiastic about opening new avenues for trans women’s representation.”

“Before I started making porn, I looked around at what existed and I was disappointed,” said Tobi. “Mainstream transsexual porn felt like a straight male fantasy and didn’t represent the trans women that I knew, and feminist and queer porn seemed to barely represent trans women at all.  I focus my work on letting trans women represent their sexuality the way they want to see themselves represented.”

“I can’t wait to see what we can do together,” says Tobi. “Look out porn world, here we come.”

They aren’t all naughty, some of them are just downright sweet, fun, or sexy. But there will never be a party I throw that isn’t all of those things all at once, and still shut down by “the powers that be” – so be it!

I’m super excited that a film I made with one of my best friends won the award for Most Tantalizing Trans Film. Billy Castro Does the Mission is a true testament to collaboration, and I’d love to share the trophy with my darling muse Billy Castro. He deserves it more than I do for all of that hard fucking and gallivanting around the Mission with a camera on him!

This is actually the second year in a row that I’ve won the award for Best Trans film. Last year, Billy Castro and I made off with the award for Speakeasy and his star-making breakthrough role as a private eye seduced by an underground queer speakeasy.

I feel a real sense of warmth and acceptance for winning this award two years in a row. I really, really love working with trans people. “FTM Porn” didn’t exist ten years ago, and I feel a real sense of pride of being one of many people creating the genre from the ground up, making our own rules, and creating something huge out of nothing. It’s only going to get better from here, with many more trans guys making their own porn, becoming stars, and getting their faces, bodies, and sexual desires out in the open. Trans women are also experiencing a breakthrough in porn, with many more being included or including themselves in the indie/queer porn world and combating the dominant porn industry’s stereotyping, and I hope that next year’s Trans Film award goes to an MTF feature.

Only five months after the launch date, my brand new porn site QueerPorn.TV won an Honored Website award. I’m in shock that we beat out other sites, including my own, that have been around making hot, female-made, female-friendly porn for years and years. I guess me and co-director Tina Horn are doing something right by keeping it hardcore and diverse, blunt but romantic.

Since I wasn’t able to attend the awards ceremony (due to the best babysitting gig I’ve EVER had!!!) I asked my darling little porn sister Judy Minx to go up on stage and give my acceptance speech if I won anything. She went up for QueerPorn.TV with Tina Horn and delivered my message beautifully. Thanks to Hot Movies For Her, there’s a YouTube video of it.

(Full nomination list: my films Billy Castro Does the Mission, Roulette Toronto, and Seven Minutes in Heaven 3: Fuck Yeah! and my websites QueerPorn.TV and NoFauxxx.Com)

Two projects that I had a blast performing for were also nominated, those being Artcore, a film by Carlos Batts and April Flores, and Padded Kink, the web’s best BBW Kink site run by Kelly Shibari.

I just finished watching my scene on HotMoviesForHer, and I’ve got to tell you – both the sex and the way the film is made blew me away. I watched myself fuck April and Kelly in three different video formats with three different sex toys (the Hitachi, an nJoy Pure Wand, and of course a big fat strap-on!), and the way everything is edited together is really fucking awesome.

So, a scene breakdown. The first thing you’ll see is me kissing and sucking on Kelly’s nipples in an homage to lesbian porn, except we’re really enjoying the Playboy-style exchange and giggle our way through it until we get to some real sex. Then you’ll see Kelly placing April and I, both dressed up as twinsie playdolls, on the couch and falling asleep in between us. The dolls come to life and seduce Kelly, making her one of us.

And then, the three of us get really switchy, kinky, and playful with a bunch of toys. April and I have a Hitachi war and end up cumming simutaneously, April fucks me with an Eleven until I squirt all over the floor, and Kelly gets her fill in a “london bridge” where I recieve one of the best strap-on blowjobs I’ve ever gotten!

Watch ARTCORE now at hotmoviesforher!

Keep watching after my scene is over, because April Flores goes on to dominate a man in a tub, fuck my heart-throbby friend Drew Deveaux, and get down girl/girl style with my new crush, Damali!

Everyone watches porn in fast-forward. This year, I made it in fast-forward. In fact, my entire life was in fast-forward. Don’t know how best to explain it than to do a Year In Review.   So, let’s get to it. Let’s play catch-up.

Exactly One Year Ago,  I spent New Years Eve talking about the future with Jiz Lee and Morty Diamond, and we all had something in common. we each wanted to branch out and treat our audiences to something special. we did. Jiz Lee became a boundary-breaking, indie-to-mainstream crossover genderqueer porn star, Morty Diamond started a book. and I… well, that’s what this post is about.

AVN Awards, 2010, Most Outrageous Red Carpet Antics!

january 2010: i released my film bordello, a storyline flick that was shot last-minute by one of my artistic sexual heros, eon mckai. april flores and billy castro blew my mind in the opening scene (link to full scene, at NoFauxxx.Com), and to this day, i wish all of my work days were like the two i spent on that set. i also attended the AVN Awards (My films No Fauxxx Roulette and Speakeasy were both nominated) with Jiz Lee (nominated for Best New Web Star) and Dylan Ryan (also nominated), where we solidified the Queer Porn Mafia and subsequently, won quite a funny award: Most Outrageous Red Carpet Moment. I also got my photo taken for Last Night’s Party (man was Bronques oh-so-crushworthy!) And as a personal aside, at the end of the month, my partner and I broke up after 2.5 years, and the sexual, sensual, emotional, and intellectual journey I was meant to go on commenced.

february: my film Billy Castro Does the Mission was released, featuring one of my muses Billy Castro in four groundbreaking scenes between him, an FTM, three femmes and a genderqueer. i tried to recover from my break-up, and may or may not have had a threesome with two queer porn stars after a nefarious dance party. i also shot Seven Minutes In Heaven 3: Fuck Yeah that month, and made out with Jiz Lee in a jerk booth at the Lusty Lady on Valentine’s Day! I still haven’t taken my jacket to dry cleaning… i also took myself on a life-altering solo trip to honolulu (link to flickr photoset!), where i learned than being single never means being alone when a nationally-noticed tsunami warning made me go over my cell phone minutes by a landslide.

march: released Seven Minutes In Heaven 3: Fuck Yeah, marking the end of a year-long streak of releasing a film at least once a month. i also performed in my first threesome sex scene – which you might never see due to it’s heavy nature – a full-on rape scene.

me and dylan ryan

april: attended the feminist porn awards in toronto and won Best Trans Film for my 2009 release Speakeasy!!! while there, i shot Roulette Toronto and performed with Judy Minx, one of my favorite people on earth. i got to be the stone-femme top i’ve always wanted to be in a porn scene, and i honestly think it might be my best performance to date… (link to flickr photoset of my entire time in canada!) that month i also shot a scene with Scout, who I met on set for Roulette Toronto and earned mutual crushes. the scene ended up on QueerPorn.Tv… but more on that later!

may: oh my god, i live alone and i love it! started taking photos at hard french – a monthly tradition to mark the summer in hot dates and a ton of photo-editing work. shot red jackhammer and chastity boner in my no fauxxx headquarters main office, that’s never happened before! also posed with Jiz Lee and Dylan Ryan in a shoot for Karma Pervs (my first time in latex!)  One of the shots ended up in Bend Over Magazine, my first magazine cover. also performed with one of my best friends, April Flores, along with Kelly Shibari (producer of Padded Kink) in a threesome that’s set to be released in Carlos Batts’ ARTCORE (click on the link to see the trailer)! my radio and text interview for the rumpus come out… things really start to take off from here…

june: my porn scene with Jiz Lee is released at Padded Kink, a site I am obsessed with (because it’s like Kink.Com except the producers hire, and prefer, chubby performers and embrace queer sexuality in a low-key, totally marketable way), and production for a new porn site to accompany No Fauxxx start to give birth with QueerPorn.TV starting with a late-night video shoot with Mickey Mod and Drew Deveaux… i also perform with Maxine Holloway for the first time in a scene for her short film The Outlaw, and get published on the cover of the San Francisco Guardian for The “Queers We Adore” feature. threw a huge Pride Sunday Party, the second annual Queerly Beloved and end up in a kiddy pool full of glitter!  …in other news, my little sister moved in with me in june… and she’s now my domestic soulmate.

me and jolene parton, good dyke porn

july: my sets go up on cocksexual, a new site dedicated to strap-on sex. i also attend the live-streaming Kink.Com Upper Floor party for Madison Young’s Thin Line Between Art & Sex and end up getting my ass majorly kicked (loved it, btw) by Jack Hammer (a BDSM porn star I’m sure you’ll notice soon!) and being the focus on a Fucking-Machine Foursome with Jiz Lee, Billy Castro, and my from-then-on porn love-of-my-life Maxine Holloway. in more personal news, i went to my dad’s three-day-long hippie wedding in the woods, got to walk him down the isle, and totally predicted that his bride was about two weeks pregnant.

august: i fall in love with my boyfriend and stop writing things in my calendar with such detail-oriented candor. he wraps me up in summer love, puppy love, real love – whatever song you want to call it. i spend my days either having the best sex i’ve ever had with him, or, editing QueerPorn.TV porn scenes with my new busniess partner, Tina Horn.

october: i end up on an extended tour of the world! first, i attend the Berlin Porn Film Festival and treat the audiences to not one, but four, director-in-attendance, sold out screenings of Roulette Berlin, Roulette Dirty South, Seven Minutes In Heaven 3: Fuck Yeah, and a Filmmaker In Focus event where I got to screen three scenes of my choosing (you wanna know? It was Nina Hartley and Jiz Lee, me and Judy Minx from Roulette Toronto, and the first 15 minutes of my film Bordello. I also got to be a judge on the three-person panel (with European “Women’s Porn” expert Anna Span!) for the short film competition, where I voted for Travis Matthew‘s “I Want Your Love” even though it didn’t take the final win). i also made a milestone by performing with a 3-month pregnant Madison Young – and although I was basically a stunt-cock (god i love being a stone top femme in porn), i got off so hard with her riding me!

november: in toronto, i screen Scout and Lascivia’s amazing amateur, switchy, queer porn scene for a Feminist Porn Awards benefit. I also end up in the hands of Aslan Leather owner Carrie Gray for an exclusive scene for QueerPorn.TV, to be released in early 2011. I bottomed out like crazy and squirted all over the place, something i hadn’t yet been able to showcase in porn performances… and now i just can’t quit. also, the most important thing that happened in november? I launched not only QueerPorn.TV, a new queer porn site where you can buy individual scenes as well as subscribe to a monthly membership – but I also launched my new favorite thing, QueerPornTube.Com – a completely-free tube site (like X-Tube, kinda, except queer) that immediately takes off, thanks to my faithful twitter pals.

december: deeply in love, i wrap up the year in reflection and solid conviction, and some lovely rewards. i’ve been nominated for an AVN Award for Best Pro-Am Release for the first Seven Minutes In Heaven. that’s like being my next door neighbor and getting nominated for an oscar. The issue of Bend Over Magazine with my photo of Dylan Ryan comes out. I get put on Velvetpark’s Top 25 Most Influencial Queer Women of 2010. my dad’s wife is pregnant with identical twin girls. the first 3 months of 2011 are booked solid with travel and parties. in a week i’ll be sucking April Flores’ toes for Coop, walking down the AVN Awards Red Carpet with my friends Mickey Mod, Tina Horn, and Shine Louise Houston.
