Career

Her first work, the short film The Good Girl (2004 film), was shot in 2004, just prior to founding Lust Films.

In 2008 she shot the experimental film Barcelona Sex Project, that was rewarded at the Venus festival Berlin (2008), and screened at the CineKink in New York (2009) and X-Rated in Amsterdam (2009). In 2010, Life Love Lust, was released. Beyond that she shot two other short films, Handcuffs (2009), and Love me like you hate me (2010), both films dealing with fetish and BDSM.
