Chicago – Deeper is proud to announce \u2018Drive,\u2019 a hard-hitting feature film starring Maitland Ward (Boy Meets World) and Angela White in an intense faceoff that examines the nature of sexuality and the lengths we will go to control it. Written, produced, and directed by Kayden Kross, and filmed by award-winning cinematographer Winston Henry, this dark and provocative drama will be available on DVD and VOD on September 30, and will be released online exclusively on\u00a0Deeper.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Occupied by themes of grief and death and living versus existing, Drive follows Angela\u2019s character off the path of her heavily curated everyday life and down a psychological unraveling catalyzed by a chance encounter with a mystic (played by Maitland Ward). Framed neatly within the five stages of grief as outlined by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross in her classic study \u2018On Death and Dying,\u2019 each scene in the film brings Angela closer to an Acceptance as Maitland leads her along toyingly with an agenda all her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kross began developing the story early this year: “I wanted to make a movie that felt like it had real stakes. There are enough suburban stories exploring insignificant problems as a way of stumbling into sex. I wanted something that felt bigger than that, something that was universal and experimental and brave enough to take itself seriously. A lot has been written on taboos as a sort of common ground between death and sexuality, and there are already the obvious connections between the two within the cycle of life. \u2018Drive\u2019 explores this intriguing relationship. What I love about this project is that the explicit hardcore pieces assembled and captured for the film complement rather than slow down this exploration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It\u2019s an absolute honor to be a part of the monumental feature that is Drive\u201d said Angela. \u201cKayden is a brilliant writer and director. She possesses the supreme ability to weave sophisticated storytelling with intense, hardcore sex. Drive is an unrivaled example of how a highly intelligent script can add significantly to the power and passion of a scene. Kayden\u2019s determination to compromise neither story nor sex when developing a project is the signature of Deeper.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a performer, White has already been a muse on Deeper, starring first in the critically acclaimed \u2018Who\u2019s Becky,\u2019 and earlier this year in Kross\u2019 premiere featurette \u2018Diabolique.\u2019 \u201cAngela was starring in this before the story was written, and from there it was tailored to her,\u201d said Kross. \u201cWe talked about real hang ups, personal insecurities, the true things that are Angela off camera and wove them into Angela on camera. She is one of the rare adult stars who can carry a role completely, and I knew if we tapped into such personal things we would get an extremely personal performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maitland Ward\u2019s path to becoming part of the film was markedly different. Said Kross: \u201cAt the time we were casting \u2018Drive,\u2019 no one even knew Maitland Ward was an achievable option. It was serendipitous the way she came across my radar at the exact time we needed her to. I met Maitland at a coffee shop and within an hour had her signed on to the project. I kept saying I needed someone who could act\u2014really act\u2014because anything less would just look silly given the role, and lo and behold, an accomplished, stunning, statuesque actress shows up out of nowhere. She sounded too good to be true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs an actress, I appreciate Kayden as a visionary who elevates adult entertainment to the heights it can be,\u201d said Ward. \u201cIt was such an amazing experience to work on a production that brings such creative vision to life. My character was like none I\u2019ve played and Kayden as a director got me to this powerfully dark and sensual place that I\u2019m excited for the audience to see.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drive is truly original. The film deviates from the regimented representation and presentation of sex acts which dominate \u201cmainstream porn\u201d and plays deftly with a wide range of situations that accompany the myriad forms, both fluid and unique, sexuality can present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDrive represents Kayden\u2019s unswerving commitment to the production of the highest quality adult feature films,\u201d said Angela. \u201cIt is visually stunning, deeply intriguing, and the final act of the movie is genuinely groundbreaking. Drive is a testament to the heights Kayden has risen as a film-maker, and a powerful statement of contemporary adult entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drive also stars Manuel Ferrara, Ivy Lebelle, Brooklyn Grey, Small Hands, Owen Grey, Gabbie Carter, Joanna Angel, Autumn Falls, Lena Paul, Alina Lopez, Wolf Hudson, Pierce Paris, Aubrey Kate, Dante Colle, Tommy Wood, Jason Moody, Markus Dupree, Emily Willis, Isiah Maxwell, Rob Piper, Mick Blue, Kira Noir, Eric John, Alex Mack, and Wolf Hudson, with guest appearances by Katie Jayne, Aria Lee, Veronica Kerei, Danny Hart, Frank Bukwyd and Damon Pierce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
