Brittney Skye

Career

Career

Nine years of performing, six titles directed by her, and one award win recorded in the trade databases.

Her first credits land in 2002, and the range is wide from the start: Shane's World 30: Keepin' It Real, Snoop Dogg's Hustlaz: Diary of a Pimp for Hustler Video, and The Violation of Ashley Blue. The Shane's World series became the spine of her filmography, the College Invasion titles included. Around it she worked for New Sensations, Digital Playground, Teravision, Hustler and Nicole London's Outback Productions.

Directing began in 2003 and ended in 2006 with six titles behind the camera. Michael Ninn built two features around her in 2005, Exposed: Brittney Skye and Evoke: Brittney Skye, having already directed her in the scene that won her the 2006 AVN Award. That same year she turns up uncredited in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and in 2009 she appears as herself in the documentary Naked Ambition. New productions stop there.

How she described the job

She refused feature dancing for the whole of her career, saying in 2005 that it scared her, and she disliked the downtime most of all: her line was that she would rather stay home than hang around a set. Her stated goal from the start was an early retirement, and she kept a separate life going outside the industry as a UFC regular and a model for the MMA clothing brand TapOut.
