Mason Profile Picture

Mason

  • alias: Sam No
    AVN Award winning Mason (AKA Sam No) is perhaps one of the most beloved female directors in the industry. Her titles are adored for their artistic, beautiful, and often times, rough depiction of human sexuality. While she was always interested in sexual exploration and expression, she disagreed with the depiction of women in adult entertainment. After taking a few college courses on feminist theory, she "started to consider that the issues [she] had with pornography were simply reflections of the way society treats women generally. [she] started to feel that all of the guilt [she] felt when viewing porn was predicated on [her] own discomfort with being a sexual woman."With this in mind, Mason began actively seeking adult production work, and landed a gig as camera operator for Rodney Moore, then interning for Andre Madness. In 2002, she landed an exclusive directing contract with prominent studio Elegant Angel.Later that year, her directorial debut Lady Fellatio earned much praise, and won three spots at the 2003 AVN Awards. Her movies also received some resistence from the community (outside of the industry) who accused she was just a woman who hates women.In early 2004, Mason split with EA, but returned some time later. Throughout their relationship, she often produced hit series like Big Wet Asses and Pornstar Workout, as well as star showcases. Her fans (most of which don't even realize she's a woman) are devoted because of her beautiful camerawork and intensity of her scenes. Performers who work with her often express how relaxed they feel with her behind the camera, and it really makes her scenes standout. Mason also often encourages those she cast to express who they would prefer to do a scene with. This is something uncommon in adult, further contributing to her popularity.After 7 years with Elegant Angel, Mason left to begin working with OpenLife Entertainment. With their partnership, she started producing through two lines, Erotica X and Hard X, both produced primarily for women and couples.

    Mason

    alias:Sam No

    XBIZ's revealing 2016 new profile of Mason described the popular director as "enigmatic" in its headline, and the description fits. She's the talent behind the trendsetting HardX brand, not to mention some of Elegant Angel's most famous movies, but she remains an elusive person. By her own admission, she keeps a low profile, seldom gives interviews, and is rarely photographed (no pic accompanied XBIZ's 2016 profile). Nevertheless, her body of work speaks for itself, as do the impressive sales figures of the movies that make it up.

    "[Porn] has helped me work through all of that sexual baggage chicks seem to have such a difficult time with," Mason noted to XBIZ, "and it constantly reinforces the fact that I made the right choice to be true to myself. You have these giving women, who share their authentic sex with us every day, and that is above and beyond what I ever expected I would gain from porn. It's been a beautiful journey and I am forever grateful."

    Though Mason is known for movies with a hard edge in terms of content - her signature line is called HardX, after all - she does not go to pure hardcore by default. "I don't necessarily feel a need to capture explicit pornography," Mason said. "I just enjoy watching people surrender to their desires/pleasures. I enjoy watching people let go. That's a bit difficult to do in a softcore format."

    Her movies are also famous for their elegant and refined look, dating back to her days at Elegant Angel, where efforts like Asa Akira Is Insatiable became award favorites. Indeed, Mason tellingly said in a 2002 Adult DVD Talk interview that the beautifully photographed 1999 hit American Beauty was one of her favorite movies (the other was Boogie Nights). Nevertheless, her focus and drive is capturing intense, intimate sexual connections on camera, something that led to her move away from the romance-focused EroticaX brand. "When female sex gets boxed into having to be 'classy' or 'ladylike' that's where I check out," she said. "Reinforcing such antiquated notions is not what I signed up for. I understand sexuality is personal, and some women enjoy this type of sex, but, when it's mandated it is nauseating. I was showing up for a paycheck and I hate that feeling, especially in this business. The luxury I have is being able to turn projects down, and Erotica X was one I was able to hand off to James Avalon." (Interestingly, Mason envisioned the glamorous direction porn was headed as far back as 2002, when she noted, "A lot of productions seem to be more focused on how pretty the girls are, how nice the locations are, while neglecting the intensity of the sex. Sex should always be paramount in any porn production.") Her final effort for EroticaX was Erotic Encounters in fall of 2015.
