“For her video, Couleé wanted to pay tribute to those who pioneered the platform. “People tend to view OnlyFans content creators as sex workers,” says Couleé. “I was approached to help diversify the platform, but I also wanted to give credit to the sex workers that have been working so hard to help build this platform to where it is now.” Couleé did so by fusing a technological look with a more vampy finish. “I wanted to create a fantasy about digital sex robots," she says. "It’s kind of Metropolis meets Westworld." “

FINESSE | AN ORIGINAL SERIES
Directed and Written by VINCENT MARTELL
Starring Jaren Merrell, Vincent Martell, and Jeez Loueez
“In a nutshell, Finesse is an ode to hustle culture. Within seconds, Finesse enthralls us into this loop of Martell, Kizer, and Daryn’s friendship, their love lives, and “the grind” that builds them up and breaks them down just the same. With moments that are soft, isolated, and somber, and equally moments that are vibrant and explosive, Finesse achieves what has been missing from the media’s representation of blackness, queerness, and sex work up until this point.”
