We got to sit down and chat with Casey Calvert, an award-winning performer and director and one of the newest directors here at Kink. It’s no surprise she’s taken the helm behind the cameras! She has performed in over 100 Kink shoots and joins the ranks of some of the most popular models to have ever performed for Kink. Fans want to hear more about this gorgeous powerhouse of talent, including how she got her start in the BDSM world, her first shoot on Device Bondage, and how horny she was on the set of “Derelict.”
Interview with Casey Calvert
Fans definitely want to know how you first got into BDSM. When and where did you get into it? Was there a good kink scene nearby? Was there a person or something that inspired you to get into BDSM?
So, I’ve been kinky for as long as I can remember, before I knew the words to describe how I felt. I was a bit of a late bloomer – I didn’t really start exploring anything sexual until I was 21. But once I did, it was very important to me to find a safe place to be kinky. I didn’t really know what that meant, but I got really lucky. In Orlando, Florida, a quick two hour drive from where I grew up, I found an amazing dungeon and an amazing community. The people there really helped shape who I am as a model and a sexual human.
What led you to get in front of the camera and come work for Kink?
My exploration into BDSM and modeling is inextricably intertwined. The very first time I was spanked, I filmed it for posterity’s sake. The second time, we posted it on the internet. Very quickly, I realized, “Oh shit, I’m actually really good at this,” and then that turned into, “Wait, oh shit, people will pay me money to do this? What could possibly be better?!” Kink was obviously the top company producing BDSM content – of course, I wanted to work there.
Your first shoot with Kink was for DEVICE BONDAGE back in 2011. Tell us about your first experience shooting for Kink.
Oh my god, I was SO excited when that very first booking email arrived. I was still an independent fetish model at the time, and wanted to shoot with Kink more than any other company. I’ll never forget that first moment walking into the Armory… and the shoot itself was a dream come true.
You were a huge part in upping the level of kinkiness around here on channels like Sex and Submission, Everything Butt, and Hardcore Gangbang. Can you talk about what it was like being a performer for those 12 years?
There were multiple years where I worked for Kink more than any other company. The Armory felt like home away from home. I never necessarily intended to push boundaries… except for those shoots when I absolutely did. Working for Kink has always been my safe space to play and to do something with my body that I absolutely love.
You’ve done well over 100 shoots and have shot for almost all of the Kink Channels. That is quite an accomplishment! Tell us about your favorite Kink shoot.
You do realize this is an incredibly hard question to answer, right? I’m really bad at picking favorites, so I’ll name a few: my very first Device Bondage, my first Hardcore Gangbang, my halloween Fucking Machines, my Everything Butt with Dana DeArmond and Roxy Raye, a live Hogtied with James Mogul, pretty much every Upper Floor party, the vampire trap Device Bondage with The Pope, Derelict, School of Submission, Diary of A Madman. Those are just the ones I remember without scrolling through the site.
And what about your most challenging Kink shoot?
This one is a little bit easier to narrow down. It’s either Derelict, just because (a) we were out in the middle of nowhere at a beautiful but challenging location and (b) because our schedule was so flexible, I didn’t exactly know when we were shooting what, so I was horny the entire shoot with anticipation. Or it’s Diary of A Madman, because of the sheer intensity of what we were doing.
You have so many achievements and accolades as a performer. When and how did the desire to start directing come about?
I went to film school; I’ve been interested in being behind the camera for a really long time. In 2019, I was offered a directing job, and it just made sense to take it. Since then, I’ve spent the majority of my time directing big budget features for Lust Cinema/Erika Lust Films. I’ve had a ton of success in that market, and was really honored to win Director of the Year and Feature Movie of the Year at XBIZ last year. But I’ve obviously had a soft spot in my heart for Kink for forever, so when the opportunity to direct for EVERYTHING BUTT came about, I had to jump on it.
Tell us about your first project as a director. How did it go?
I don’t actually remember the very first thing I directed, so I’ll talk about my first big directorial project. It’s called Primary, for Lust Cinema. We filmed in the fall of 2019, and what I remember is that it was such an incredible learning experience. I look back at that shoot as a way to see how far I’ve come.
Kink members are loving your directorial debut, which is now live on the EVERYTHING BUTT channel. The two stars, Gia Derza and Rory Knox, are nothing less than smoking hot together! How do you go about pairing performers for your shoots?
To me, what takes a scene from awesome to extraordinary is the chemistry between the performers. Creating that chemistry is something I really pride myself on as a director. I’m not exactly sure how I do it – I think the ticket for me is that it’s pretty easy for me to be able to watch people and determine what they’re good at, what they like, what their performing style is. Then I just match up two models with similar styles and tastes and let them have at it!
You’ve worked extensively over the years on several projects with JP The Pope. This includes some of his most notable hardcore features, Derelict, School of Submission, and Diary of a Madman, Volume 2. Please tell us about your work with The Pope and how your working relationship has grown over the years.
The Pope and I started working together in 2013, if you can believe it. And from that very first shoot, I think we both realized that we had something special in each other. Both he and I have grown as artists and creators since we first met, and all of those features were such amazing, unique experiences. I’m so proud of the work he and I have done, and I’m really honored to consider him one of my closest friends.
What kind of twisted kinky things should we expect from you now that you will be directing for Kink?
Let’s just say… stay tuned, I’m just getting started!
Lastly, how can fans keep updated with everything you are working on?
The best way to keep up with what I’m doing is to follow me on socials. I’m on Twitter and Instagram.
We were so grateful to get to catch up with this busy performer and director. Casey is off to her next project and we’re all waiting to see what she directs next for us here at Kink! Make sure to check out her latest shoot featuring massive toys, anal fisting, and an ass-stretching strap-on starring Erin Everheart and Jesse Pony.
