Now, she’s expanded her reach and is taking the director’s chair.

In a statement about the film Thorne, said “Breaking the taboo of what's classified as beautiful has always been a vision of mine and it brings me such joy to see this being recognized for what it truly is...beautiful visionary art."

This was Thorne’s first ever short and her first foray into the porn industry. "Well, the process of shooting was quite interesting because we had real-life f***ing on set, which I have never shot before,” she said in a video posted by Pornhub on the company’s YouTube channel.

Thorne is also set to star in the upcoming television series Paradise City, based on the film American Satan. The original was a supernatural musical thriller that came out in October of 2017.
