Erika Lust Goes Underwater With 'Siren Song' for XConfessions

BARCELONA—On March 30, acclaimed indie adult director Erika Lust released a new original XConfessions featurette, "Siren Song." Starring adult performers Ariana Van X and Edi Santos, with Marina Molina, Yazel Parra and Carmen U contributing original songs, the ethereal movie is Lust’s first time directing a sex scene underwater.  In order to bring to reality the scenario of an underwater cave where the protagonists ignite their passion, a diving coach and an underwater camera operator were brought in on the production.  "Siren Song" follows a man's (Santos) journey of finding love in the most unexpected place. As he lies upon the sand, he feels the siren's sweet song calling to him, its alluring embrace beckoning him closer and closer. He closes his eyes, allowing himself to be taken away by the beauty of it all, and as he opens them again, he’s met with the siren's (Van X) smile and touch. Lust stated, “I absolutely love how this film turned out: dreamy, ethereal and very hot! Mermaids have fascinated humanity for ages, and I am happy to finally have directed my version of the legend. Together with my production team and crew, we worked hard to find the right feel and mood. We spent a whole day in a dark swimming pool together with a free diving coach, Aurora, and our underwater camera operator, Txema, to get all the beautiful underwater shots. On the second day of filming, we shot the beach scenes at dawn at an empty beach outside Barcelona, and then we went on to a film studio where our DOP Thais and gaffer Txell created the underwater light that makes us feel like Ariana Van X and Edi Santos are having sex on the bottom of the ocean. But the adventure of this film started long before the actual filming, with our composer Marina creating the wonderful music and gathering the other singers to record it in a studio. I hope you love it as much as I do!” For more information, visit XConfessions.com.
