LOS ANGELES, CA<\/strong> \u2013 Grooby is proud to announce the release of its newest feature film, Once Upon a TS Summer, the directorial debut of Blake Lovely, now available at GroobyDVD.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaking this movie has been one of the most rewarding and fulfilling things I have done not just in my life as a performer, but in my life as a whole,\u201d said director and performer Blake Lovely. \u201cA feature with a connected storyline, complex character situations, and all mixed in the style of a 90s Tarantino flick seemed like a daunting task when we first started. Between our amazing cast and crew however, we came together and overcame every challenge to create something we truly believe is special. The sex pushed me and the other performers to the highest level and beyond, the dialogue was snappy\/witty, and above all we made one hell of a coming of age story! Emphasis on the cumming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Lovely\u2019s directorial debut, Once Upon a TS Summer, is about more than just sex\u2014it\u2019s about secrets, transformation, and the messy, unforgettable ride of growing up. Some summers are for tanning, some are for healing, but this one? This one is for secrets, sex, and shedding every label. Blake Lovely stars as a college senior home for one last hurrah before graduation, but nothing could have prepared her for the chaos and climax that awaited. With unexpected encounters\u2014bent over staircases, tied to authority figures, and haunted by the ghosts of football season\u2019s past\u2014this is a story of passion, transformation, and one unforgettable summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo see Blake move from in front of the camera to behind it, and create something of this caliber as her very first feature, has been inspiring,\u201d said Grooby CEO Steven Grooby. \u201cShe put together an incredible team and guided a cast of some of the best names in our industry to deliver a film that is not only visually stunning, but also narratively ambitious. Once Upon a TS Summer is the kind of project that reminds us why we keep pushing boundaries in trans erotica.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To bring her vision to life, Lovely selected an all-star production team. Award-winning producer and performer Aiden Starr served as Director of Photography, bringing her signature visual flair and industry expertise to the project. Brah Bones, a respected name in mainstream entertainment, produced the film and helped elevate the storytelling with his cinematic touch. Together, the trio crafted a feature that blends artistry, narrative, and sexual intensity in equal measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Once Upon a TS Summer\u2019 features an all-star cast, including Blake Lovely, Aubrey Kate, Foxxy, Jade Venus, Haven Rose, Draven Navarro, Pierce Paris, Sage Roux, Adam X, Derek Kage, Silas Stone, Tony Sting, and Steve Rickz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
