Will Ryder is an award-winning adult movie director and producer
credited with creating the modern porn parody explosion that changed
the way adult movies were produced and marketed. Ryder has won dozens
of adult industry awards including Best Director, Best Comedy, Best
Parody and Director-of-the-Year trophies. His work has influenced
numerous directors and producers who followed his lead in the parody
genre. Ryder won the 2014 AVN Award for Best Director, the 2014 XBiz
Director of the Year-Parody and the 2014 X-Rated Critic's Organization
Best Director trophy all for Grease XXX.
Ryder got his start in the adult movie business scoring music back in
1983. In 1986 he began a 15 year career as a touring musician and
returned to adult to became one of the top industry publicists
representing over a dozen companies including Larry Flynt's Hustler
Video and top stars such as Hillary Scott and Sunny Lane. He has
directed nearly 200 movies since 2001 including multiple volumes of
Barely Legal for Hustler and Britney Rears, a spoof of pop singer
Britney Spears, which was the first of the modern porn parodies.
However, it was the Brady Bunch spoof Not the Bradys XXX that was the
catalyst for the parody movement. His take on creating adult movie
parody from history's most popular TV shows and pop figures quickly
caught on with audiences worldwide and was followed with top-selling
parodies of Bewitched, The Cosby Show, Married with Children, Charlie's
Angels, Three's Company, M*A*S*H, The Wizard of Oz, The Three Stooges,
Grease and over 40 others. Soon, the entire adult movie industry
followed his lead and to date over 1800 parodies have been created by
the industry. Since most of his parody movies began with the word Not,
his company X-Play was awarded a United States Trademark in 2008
barring any adult company from using the word Not in their title.
