Jacky St. James (born October 15, 1976)[1] is an American pornographic film director, screenwriter, and publicist for the studio New Sensations.[3]

Early life

St. James grew up within the Washington metropolitan area in Northern Virginia.[4] She was raised Catholic.[5]

St. James has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre with a concentration in Film.[6][7] At age 27, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the mainstream entertainment industry.[5] She worked as an actress in films and television shows and has directed small mainstream projects as well.[6] She also worked in online advertising for over 13 years.[4]

Career

In May 2010, a friend of St. James, who is a director of photography, sent her a clip of The Wedding Day from the New Sensations Romance Series because he was impressed by the quality of the film.[4] After researching The Romance Series, she discovered that New Sensations was doing a writing contest for the series.[4] Adult film director Eddie Powell gave her advice on how to write a porn script after she contacted him on Twitter.[7] She entered the contest in 2011 and her script, Dear Abby, won.[8] Powell directed the film and New Sensations released it in June 2011.[2] St. James also won Best Screenplay for the film at the 2012 AVN Awards.[9]

Some of St. James's most notable works are Torn, The Temptation of Eve, and The Submission of Emma Marx.[10][11] She co-directed Torn with Eddie Powell and it won the AVN Award for Best Romance Release in 2013, the year in which the category was first created.[10] In 2014, The Temptation of Eve and The Submission of Emma Marx won AVN Awards for Best Romance Movie and Best BDSM Movie, respectively.[11] That same year, St. James began to direct mostly for Digital Sin's Tabu Tales, a line with plots featuring sex between stepfamily members.[11]
