Please describe what you do.

The Compound is a private Female Dominant Productions Studio. It is recognized Internationally, contains fully equipped theme rooms, and is located in a fashionable upscale area. I am a Domina. I am a sadist and bondage enthusiast, but I have other interests that are well represented by my choice of theme rooms. The Compound contains an Industrial Dungeon, Victorian Punishment Boudoir, Medical Room and Jail Cell area. A person could choose to be a prisoner, patient, fetish slave, sissy, masochist, student ect...I mainly attract seasoned players.  I have the experience and intellectual capacity to challenge them. Domination is primarily a psychological experience. There are many role play possibilities.

What is it that people want you to do on film most often?

I don’t ask them what they want me to do. Since I am a primarily a bondage Top in my professional practice, I attract people who desire physical and psychological restraint. I have a lot of equipment that has to do with this. My other play rooms are more equipped than most BDSM fetish stores. I am a collector of devises. People know I am a gadget freak, and often send me emails and letters to talk about equipment. I encourage this because I get new ideas for films.

What are people seeking?

It is different for each individual. There are spanking enthusiasts, bondage bottoms, medical patients, masochists, sissy girls, various types of slaves and prisoners, fetishists and role players. Often someone can be 3 or more of these things. The key is to understanding each individual, how their mind works, and why they need it. I am a Woman Who sets Her Own rules, and genuinely enjoys being in charge. I have a lot of charisma and sexual energy. I have a good sense of humor, and can re-present a scene in a different way each time that is more exciting than the last. I am full of surprises and creativity. People contact me to 'make a connection' with this energy.

There are 4 main reasons people want BDSM.

a). To face their facts (therapy)

b). To 'not be in charge' for a change (to trust Someone Else to be)

c). Catharsism (through the discipline, bondage, spanking, whipping ect...)

d). Eroticism (experience fantasies and get off)

Notice that this is not simply a sexual thing for them, though it is somewhat sexual. Sex is not 'the crux' of it. I don’t 'have sex'. I enact mind boggling scenarios with them. I shake them up, send lightening bolts up and down their spines, take them on roller coaster rides, make them think, make them laugh, cry, feel previously bottled up emotions.

Any special DVDs that you think capture the kind of things that happen in your dungeon?

We make videos on all subjects explored here in all of the theme rooms at the Compound. Activities such as: male and female slaves enjoying CBT, genitorture, caning, bullwhipping, tickle torture, humiliation, electricity, fetish, bondage, medical scenarios, spanking, leather and rubber in the  Plush Victorian Boudoir, Industrial Gothic Chamber, Auxiliary Dungeon, and Clinic!

Any that you find especially appealing?

The most popular ones tend to be the more extreme subject matters, like head shaving, medical tribulations (examinations and inspections), strapon play, forced bisexual scenes, extreme whipping, unusual electrical scenarios, and heavy corporal. There are many pieces of custom built large scale bondage furniture that feature prominently too.

Do you ever see women?

Yes. I often invite nervous female callers to visit the Compound.

How did you get started?

From reading thus far, you can probably tell that I used to be an artist. My art began to go towards S/M inspired landscapes, and then into live performances addressing many issues including sexual discrimination, societal backlash against the 3rd wave of feminism, and polical issues which are also relevant to the scene, and so it was a natural progression for Me to begin making BDSM films. It started out as an experiment - 'an artist in the lab' and I have been 'in the lab' for a long time. I am still experimenting - still exploring.

I have a degree in video production from CMU, so you could say that I have managed to use it well!

Any advice for a person interested in the scene but doesn’t know where to start?

That would all depend on what you plan on doing with it. If you are a bottom or a Top, and if you are interested in this for personal or professional reasons, or both! Choose carefully, but always remember that you can return to your point of departure and plan it all out again in a totally different way. There are no mistakes if you feel something strongly in your heart.

My extensive member's area would be a good research tool for anyone interested in getting into the scene.
