Career
[edit]
In France, de G. has directed commercials and music videos, including for the band Christine and The Queens.[5] She said she began creating feminist pornography to encourage women to embrace their desires without judgment. In 2016, she made her directorial debut with The Bitchhiker, a short porn film starring herself and funded by Erika Lust. It depicted her long-held fantasy about picking up a hitchhiker on her motorbike, driving him to an empty workshop, and pegging him with black leather strap-on dildo. De G. continued directing adult short film for Lust until 2017.[1]
She made her feature film directorial debut in 2020 with Une Dernière Fois (One Last Time), which was screened at the Marché du Film. It was produced by Kidam, Topshot Films and Olympe de G. Production, in coproduction with Canal+. The film follows a 69-year-old woman who, in a society that neglects the elderly, spends her last year planning her final meal, walk, and sexual experience.[5] In 2017, she ventured into erotic podcasts,[6] debuting with L'Appli rose for Audible.[2] Her podcasts include Voxxx and Coxxx.[7]
