Third Episode of Gamble's 'Privilege' Debuts on Wicked.com

LOS ANGELES—Seth Gamble is following the success of his award-nominated narrative feature debut Deranged with new Wicked Pictures limited series Privilege, produced by four-time AVN Director of the Year and Wicked Head of Production Axel Braun. The new series, written and directed by the 2023 AVN Male Performer of the Year nominee and Gamma exclusive contract performer, is an eight-scene release featuring an eclectic cast led by April Olsen and Julia Ann. The third episode, featuring Freya Parker and Oliver Davis, debuts today on Wicked.com. Parker is a current AVN Best Leading Actress nominee for her acclaimed performance in James Avalon’s Wicked Noir feature Duplicity.   Set in the Machiavellian world of the mega-rich, Privilege is the story of family patriarch Alexander Nash (Evan Stone), who rules his family with an iron fist, but has a soft spot for his youngest daughter (April Olsen). At the same time, he's in the middle of a big business deal that he can't let anyone sabotage, from his duplicitous ex-wife (Lexi Luna) to his gold-digging new bride (Julia Ann), who has her eye on his money and his beloved son Liam (Nathan Bronson). Meanwhile Nash's other son Lucas (Lucky Fate), a compulsive gambler, puts the entire family empire in jeopardy through sheer ineptitude. As Alexander's personal saga unfolds, the torrid sex lives of his family come to light in a chain of events, fueling more scandal. "Whether I'm making a feature or something that's non-narrative, I approach the process as a collaborative form," Gamble said. "One of the most important components of a great collaboration is trust. And trust is a two-way street. This means that if you want your actors to trust you and your vision as a director, you must also trust them as an actor. “If an actor tells you that there is a line that feels consistently awkward or unnatural, be open to what they have to say. After all, they are performing it and if they feel unnatural saying the line, their performance may come off as unnatural as well. At the end of the day I may have the final say as the director, but trusting the actors’ instincts and being open to what they have to say will make both the shoot day and the final result better." Of the new episode’s female lead, Gamble hailed, “Anyone who has seen James Avalon’s wonderful Wicked Noir feature Duplicity knows Freya Parker can deliver an incredible performance. There’s a reason why it’s earned her a nomination for Best Leading Actress. When I gave her Privilege to read for the character of Harper, she immediately understood the spirit of the character and embodied her in a realistic and introspective way.” The statuesque brunette said she was excited about taking on the youthful daughter character in Privilege. “Playing Harper was enjoyable for me, specifically because I like to play snarky,” Parker said of the role. “There’s something so sexy, yet frustrating about characters that have that kind of bite to them. I felt like I had a lot of freedom to explore and portray this role, and it was super fun. On top of that, I had the pleasure of being surrounded by an electric cast that seemed to work super well together. “In my opinion, movies like this work best when there is a natural chemistry amongst the cast members. We were also fortunate enough to be surrounded by an incredible crew, such as James Avalon running camera and Kylie Ireland on set design. It's special to be a part of Seth’s series, and even more special to help create his vision. He has a different and admirable perspective on making the whole thing come together. His patience on set is remarkable, and I’ll always love him for that. It was truly spectacular to be a part of Privilege.” Parker’s work in Duplicity is continuing to earn her raves from fans and critics alike, with Art Koch, the National Features & DVD Editor for NightMoves, lauding her “tremendous performance.”  For more content or to watch more episodes of Privilege, visit Wicked.com.
