Bella Thorne, who was first launched into our stratospheres due to her debut as a Disney Channel star, is now directing an adult film for Pornhub. It’s really the natural course of things post-Disney star life at this point.

Thorne’s adult film, which acts as her directorial debut, is titled Her and Him, and has been described as an ethereal “Romeo and Juliet”-themed love story about two star-crossed lovers wrestling between the most difficult of life’s dualities, dominance and submission. The film stars adult actors Small Hands and Abella Danger, and will be premiered at Germany’s Oldenburg Film Festival before eventually becoming available on Pornhub Premium.

The official descriptor of the film goes as follows: “‘Her & Him’ depicts an edgy twenty-something guy who stumbles upon a surprise text in his girlfriend’s phone, interrupting their morning routine and spinning everything into an out-of-control sexually charged encounter.”

“The vision behind the story was basically creating these two dynamic characters that could switch off … [between] dominant and submissive,” Bella Thorne says in a promotional video. “My vision originally actually was to make a Christmas horror movie, and instead I made a very beautiful, ethereal, neon type of vision. Sometimes, you go into something thinking that you want something specific, and then you totally change your mind and don’t go with that idea at all.”

The film is being produced as part of Pornhub’s Visionary Director’s Series, which “features debut films by unexpected guest directors to diversify porn production and help create more varied content with multiple types of viewers in mind.” Other first-time filmmakers featured in the program so far include LGBT rappers Brooke Candy and Young M.A.

“The process of shooting was very interesting, because we had real life fucking on set, which I had never shot before,” she said. “Also, this was my first short in general, so it was quite an interesting experience to have the first thing that I ever really fully directed have so much sex in it. It is quite a fun environment.”
