AVN.com reports that writer/director DCypher has signed an exclusive, two-year contract with Club Jenna. The contract calls for him to direct one feature per month during that time, with an option to extend the contract for a third year.
Cypher explains, “Jay [Grdina, president of ClubJenna] had been in town doing meetings with Playboy, and I got a call from his assistant, Linda Johnson, telling me [they] were ready to meet – we’ve been talking about a contract for a little while at this point, and we had hammered out our own details of what we wanted to do, but due to the acquisition by Playboy, we needed to just make sure everything was aligned properly still, and that we were still on the same page.
“Linda said, ‘We really want you as part of this family, we don’t want to lose you, so let’s get this done and wrap up our business.’ And I went down to Beverly Hills and met Jay…the contracts were there, we all knew what we wanted to do … we just sat and got into it, ’cause that’s the kind of vibe that they have. And then we went over it and signed the thing in like five seconds. We were both happy, because we worked out the details of what I will and won’t do, what my responsibilities are and how it’s all going to operate. But it was more like two good friends hanging out.”
Cypher has already shot his first title for Club Jenna.
“I knew I was gonna shoot a show with Club Jenna,” he explained, “because we’d talked about it, they had always been interested in working with me. Even before I signed with Metro [where he recently ended a one-year contract], they were interested in working with me, and had expressed that, so they were actually bummed that I had signed, because it took me away from something they were trying to do. But ultimately, they were glad, because it gave me the opportunity to kind of grow and explore things before I stepped up to that level.”
