Bella Thorne Is Making Her Directorial Debut with an Adult Film

Bella Thorne will be making her directorial debut with a short film she wrote and directed for the adult film website Pornhub.

The 21-year-old former Disney star is among the “unexpected guest directors” for the website’s Visionary Directors series.

Bella‘s film is called Her & Him and it’s a “modernistic, sexually explicit Romeo and Juliet-like depiction of two star-crossed lovers who have an unbridled sexual longing for each other. Their love is reckless and dangerous and transcends time and space.”

“What inspired me to do this movie was thinking about this relationship between a male and a female and this fight over dominance and how much that relates to us in our general world, besides just a sexual scenario. My vision behind the story was basically creating these two dynamic characters that could switch off between dominant and submissive,” Bella said in a behind the scenes video. “My initial idea was to create a Christmas horror movie, but instead I made a beautiful, ethereal film. I’m lucky that Pornhub came on and produced this with me. They believed in my vision and weren’t scared to jump in with me.”

Her & Him premieres at the Oldenburg Film Festival in Germany next month.
