Star, it stars Brittany Joy aka Allie Haze, Seth Gamble, Mia Hope, Russia Hardy, Jason Sarcinelli, Faye Reagan, Lux Kassidy and Ron Jeremy. In the movie, it's Emmanuelle versus the vampires in a sexy tale of lost love, possession, and all things Twilight. Says director Nosferatu: "When we were looking for the new Emmanuelle, I knew that she had to be a beautiful girl with a modern and tough personality. We wanted someone innocent yet independent, with a Buffy-like attitude that balances sexiness, innocence, toughness and a flair for comedy. We found that in Allie. She actually plays multiple roles in Sexy Bite and you see a real range in her performance that will delight fans old and new. This Emmanuelle kicks ass...literally!  In addition to her movies with Vivid, Allie has continued nurturing her mainstream acting career as Brittney Joy, and was selected to star in seven 'Emmanuelle' feature films that were showcased at this year's Cannes Film Festival.  

Vivid and Axel Braun Launch Public Sex Series -- The first volume of a new adult series featuring sexual acts shot in public places, SOS: Sex on the Streets, is now available. Raw and unscripted, the first entry in the outrageous new series stars Tara Lynn Foxxx, Brooklyn Lee, Jessi Palmer and Nicole Aniston.  The movie is distributed by Vivid and produced by Axel Braun. Having sex in public is considered by many as a way to heat up a couple's sex life. Mainstream articles and advice columns in publications ranging from Men's Health to New York Magazine have offered all kinds of advice on how and where to try it, suggesting public washrooms, elevators, parked cars and even the Grand Canyon. "Public sex remains one of our biggest turn-ons, but it's also somewhat dangerous" Braun says. "Couples need to be pretty sneaky to indulge in consensual public sex nowadays, especially since it's against the law in most states. There's always the danger of getting caught, and this creates a heightened adrenaline rush that definitely increases the drama and heat of the movie. We think 'SOS' delivers the fantasy way beyond what most of us would actually experience. The popularity of this erotic fantasy has only gotten stronger over the years," Braun adds. "We believe we're tapping a new vein of viewers who will be more than eager to experience the thrill of public sex vicariously."
