CANOGA PARK, Calif. – Mercenary Pictures turns the spotlight on five ascending black female newcomers in the latest of volume of its ethnic new girl series directed by Tina Tyler, Black Moon Risin’ 4.

Featuring an all-new cast, including Anndreina, Misty Stone, Kaleah, Crystal Wet and Diamond, Black Moon Risin’ 4 — in stores now — also stars top notch male talent such as Brian Pumper, Mr. Marcus, Jean Baptiste andMercenary owner and three-time AVN Male Performer of the Year Lexington Steele.

Tyler, director of the AVN-nominated title Handyman as well as Fresh Out the Box, SuperWhores, IronHead and BlowHardz, said, “The guys we use in Black Moon Risin’ are all professionals who know how to put their co-stars at ease and keep that in mind to make sure their co-stars are always comfortable during the scene. These girls don’t have much time in front of the camera, and sometimes are fairly new to exploring their sexuality. I’ve often talkedabout how I keep my sets friendly to the female talent, but the guys also play just as an important role. Good gonzo isn’t just about hard and fast sex, it’s also about knowing the limits of the person you’re working with and staying in those bounds.”

Tyler’s touch as a director and her past work as a performer continues to made her the perfect fit for directing Mercenary’s new girl lines, Steele said.

“I can’t imagine anyone other than Tina who can empathize and bring out great scenes out of these girls.” He said. “She’s a fantastic director and with her AVN nom for her solo male masturbation title, Handyman, and her other series for Black Viking, Blow Hardz, in addition to the work she does in her other straight lines for Mercenary — Fresh Out the Box, SuperWhores and IronHead — she’s also one of the most versatile shooters as well.”
