Juli Ashton InnerView Continued... AINews: You have done a lot of movies and magazines. One of them I remember I particularly enjoyed was Orgazmo. Juli: (Laughs!) That was a great experience! Holy Cow! AINews: Was that fun? Juli: It was so much fun! So many levels of fun! I hadn't really done that much mainstream really. I had done a couple of music videos, and movies and stuff, and this wasn't even major budget. Obviously much larger than our [Adult Industry] budgets. Just to see the scope of it was exciting. All the different crews, private dressing rooms, little vans with dressing rooms. Just to see the scope of a movie being made that much bigger than what we do is really exciting. Just the people we met. Matt and Trey, they always bring their people in. They are very much a family. They take care of the people they hire. This being one of their first ones, it was all their friends from college. It was funny. It was like a bunch of kids doing this movie. I thought, "I can't believe this is going to end up as a movie." (Laughs!) It was fun to watch the process because they would go off on these tangents. You would have a basic script but then people would start throwing stuff in and everyone would be dying laughing and adding to it and improvising. It was hilarious. It was just a laugh a minute. Great experience! Did you like it? AINews: I loved it! One of my favorite lines was the take 2 for when Orgazmo first came into the room. Your tone of voice was so unenthusiastic! It was great. Juli: It was a great parody! AINews: Any up coming ventures you can tell me about? Juli: The pay site. Up 'til now our Internet has always been free. We've finally got enough stuff together, the hardcore good stuff, that it's worth putting up. For over a year it has been, "Why don't you have a pay site?" Well, I didn't want to put up crap. The Internet is becoming just like the video business, everybody and their brother has a pay site with sex on it. So, I didn't just want to be another site like that. We have really spent a lot of time and energy getting it the way we want it. Hopefully, it will be worth the money. AINews: So you're not going to be selling plastic frogs and knick-knacks? Juli: NO! (Laughs!) No plastic frogs and knick-knacks! We will have a catalogue where we sell videos and toys and things like that, but this is more hardcore photos, more hardcore stories, behind the scenes of our lives, the harder versions. AINews: Stuff you couldn't really get any other place. Juli: Exactly. We're looking forward to that. It should be in the next few months that we'll launch the pay site. That will be a group of us again. Shayla, Nina Hartley, and me all doing this co-op thing with the Internet. What other projects do I have going? A lot of the Ashton View. Producing for Playboy. More Playboy shows, and definitely more hardcore releases, but not as often. AINews: I have seen over the past few months, a couple of magazine shoots that you have done. You've got one in High Society… Juli: You have them with you? AINews: I have them right here. You haven't seen them? Juli: No, I haven't. This is so funny. AINews: They are good. Juli: Oh yeah! This was great! We were also videoing this for Essentially Dee. I shoot a lot of footage and I don't know where it goes. [Looking through photo layout in High Society.] This was so much fun! Dee is so amazing! AINews: This one is a pretty good one too. [Showing Juli another magazine.] You also have a review in there, about "Black Boots". Juli: Yeah. How did it do? AINews: Quite well. Juli: These were shot in Jamaica. AINews: There it is Black Boots. There's another one I read about called "Cum Shots". That got a good review too. Do you remember Cum Shots? Juli: It must be a comp. I remember most of them, it must be a compilation. AINews: How is it working with Chi Chi Larue as a director? Juli: It was so much
fun. I don't know why, but we just hit it off, a long time ago. Like the
very first time I met her we had a rapport. So we would see each other
at shows, we never got to hang out or anything, so when they approached
me it was an excellent opportunity, just because it was from a different
frame of mind, coming from a different place. I like that. I do different
perceptions. That's why I like watching porn directed by women and directed
by gays, you know what I mean? Everyone has a different point of view
of life. It was really interesting to work with her particular point of
view. AINews: You ever spend a night in an igloo? Juli: (Laughs!) Interlaken, Switzerland. AINews: Really? Would you tell me about that? "[They said,] 'Can you go to Interlaken, Switzerland, for five days and let us put you up at a beautiful spa and take you out in an igloo?' It was one of those things that every once in a while drops in your lap." Juli: "E!" called up Playboy, looking for me and Tiffany to go to Switzerland for while on the Swiss Alps. It was a life experience. Every once in a while in this business something like, REALLY cool comes along. Like when I did "Passion" in Venice, way back, it was one of those situations where they called me up out of the blue and said, "Can you get to Venice, TOMORROW." Well, "OK". I packed like crazy. It was kind of like how this was. [They said,] "Can you go to Interlaken, Switzerland, for five days and let us put you up at a beautiful spa and take you out in an igloo?" It was one of those things that every once in a while drops in your lap.
