Industry Report: Deep Dive with Disruptive Films

Fleshbot is always so happy to get the latest scoop on what is happening at the always sexy and edgy Disruptive Films from our friend, porn director/producer extraordinaire Jessica Jasmin. Once again, she and Disruptive have another provocative offering with their new film, Pledge Daddy. Jessica shares that this latest offering is both a return to form and at the same time a whole new level of intensity for the already envelope-pushing studio.

How is 2025 going so far?

It’s been pretty busy behind the scenes! Things are moving fast, the industry’s evolving, and the competition is fiercer than ever. With a brand as established as Disruptive Films, we constantly have to reinvent ourselves to keep things fresh and exciting. Late last year, we reassessed what kind of content resonates most with our audience. We've experimented with a variety of genres, but we're now doubling down on what we're truly known for: unapologetically, taboo content. With a new crew led by Micah Martinez, we've started fresh, bringing a renewed energy and passion to our work.

Tell us about your latest project. Title? Style? Genre?

Our latest feature is called Pledge Daddy. It’s a hot, twisted take on fraternity culture with power plays, pledges, and plenty of discipline. Fraternity president Brody Montgomery assigns Bennett Sutherland to train a new class of pledges, especially standouts Cooper and Reed, to uphold the high standards of DOME. With help from former pledge dad James Fox, Bennett works hard to whip them into shape. It’s classic Disruptive Films: taboo, dramatic, and very, very steamy. I worked again with my incredible writer, Taylor Saracen, to craft this story. It’s my first full-length gay feature shot with our new Vegas crew. We built it around a unique location we found, and centered the story on characters who are each messed up in their own way. The pairings are wild, we even have a double penetration scene!

What made you want to tell this story?

Surprisingly, we had never explored the fraternity world before, even though our sister site, Next Door Studios, has. I started digging into real-life frat culture and found there’s a lot of dark, strange energy there. It was just begging to be turned into a story. It felt like the perfect setting for a taboo feature.

Tell us about your cast.

We’ve got an all-star lineup: Jayden Marcos, Johnny Donovan, Justin DaJock, Andrew Delta, and Jack Valor.

What are the characters they are playing? Why did you see these actors in these roles?

When casting a project like this, we look for top-tier talent: performers audiences are already invested in.

President Brody (Jayden Marcos): Jayden was on my wishlist forever. He’s an incredible actor, a total professional, and brings such authenticity to his roles. He makes every line his own and remembers every beat from take to take.
James (Justin DaJock): I initially chose Justin for his look, he’s the perfect jock type. But he surprised me in the best way. His chemistry with Jayden was electric.
Cooper (Jack Valor): I wanted someone with a twinkier vibe, and Jack fit perfectly. He has such a sweet face, which makes the contrast with the taboo scenes even hotter. He was a joy to work with.
Reed (Andrew Delta): I’ve known Andrew off-set and always wanted to cast him. He’s such a nice guy, so I gave him a role totally opposite. Cocky, arrogant jock and he had a blast with it.
Bennett (Johnny Donovan): I wanted another beautiful face to round out the cast, and Johnny Donovan was a perfect choice. He’s incredibly sweet and a genuinely talented performer. His character, Bennett, is probably the most innocent of the bunch, caught in a situation he can’t escape. Paired with Jayden, they created the perfect yin and yang dynamic.

Any fun behind-the-scenes stories about this shoot?

There was a really tense scene between Jayden and Justin’s characters that involved pushing and shoving. I wanted super tight shots, but they kept cracking up and playfully grabbing each other’s nipples between takes. It was hilarious.

What do you hope audiences take from this project?

As with all Disruptive Films titles, I hope viewers connect with the characters and get into the story. But most of all…I hope they have a great time watching, because this one is HOT!

What's next?

We’ve got a really exciting collaboration coming up with another major studio. I’ll be co-directing with their in-house director, and we start shooting in a couple of months. Stay tuned!
