#numa perrier

Numa Perrier’s first film, Jezebel, will debut on the festival circuit next year. The work is biographical, recalling the period after her mother’s death when Perrier, just 19, had to make quick money to help pay the rent for the tiny studio apartment she shared with her siblings and her niece. The Internet was still in its dial-up days, but demand for adult content was growing and Perrier found work as a fetish model. She calls Jezebel a “somewhat bizarre sexual coming of age story.”

Perrier is the co-creator of the Black&Sexy web series platform and currently has a development deal for a show with HBO.

I couldn’t find a credit for the photographer but I think the picture dates from about 2012.
