Directing for Evil Angel

After 13 years on screen, Vince Karter has transitioned to directing. He recently made his studio directing debut for Evil Angel, with five scenes already streaming. Karter initiated this transition by contacting John Stagliano to express his interest in directing for Evil Angel. Stagliano indicated that Evil Angel appreciated Karter's style and believed his long history of performing for them would allow him to add his unique touch to productions.

Karter stated that Evil Angel has been the brand he has connected with most strongly since he started in the industry, noting that "They shoot what I like to see." He described performing for them as "always a pleasure." Karter's directorial work is influenced by the classic Evil Angel style. He mentioned being from the generation that watched Rocco Siffredi and gained experience and knowledge from Siffredi's videos. Karter also had the opportunity to work with Rocco Siffredi for several years in Budapest, which he described as a valuable experience for improving his skills and learning to lead intense scenes.

Karter believes that Evil Angel's directors share "the same soul." He characterized Evil Angel as "very passionate," encompassing hardcore and kinky elements, but fundamentally "about loving sex." He noted that while other studios focus on specific niches like kink or BDSM, Evil Angel maintains a balance, being "mainstream, but with a super-kinky touch." Karter's directing credits include the 2025 project Karter Kreation.
