If you haven't seen I Am Aubrey and you are a trans porn fan, well, you damn well should because it is hot as fuck and really does something incredible with the medium with all of the true stories in here. Here's what Vespoli had to say about this win and her work.

Hello, Dana! How are you doing? How are things?

"I’m good, thank you! It’s been a crazy last few years."

"I was thrilled that Aubrey’s movie received this kind of recognition."

"What I love most is that it functions as a documentary rather than a showcase. It did highlight Aubrey’s career in adult, but also her journey as a trans woman and sex worker. Aubrey’s willingness to be vulnerable really moved me, and so that aspect is what I love the most."

"Aubrey’s honesty. Oftentimes performers are very guarded, and particular about what they are willing to share. This is understandable, of course, but Aubrey is, in her words, 'an open book' and so I had many moments where my jaw would drop, because Aubrey would just tell it like it is. It’s part of what makes Aubrey unique—she simply doesn’t give a fuck, and I’m here for it."

"The most challenging aspect of making this movie was navigating travel and COVID protocol. Aubrey is based out of NYC and also travels a fair amount, so we really had to be mindful of not just Aubrey’s schedule, but the other performers as well. We had to reschedule quite a bit, but we finally got it all done!"

"So many things: Her sense of humor, her honesty, her courage, her talent, and of course, her style."

"All the New York footage. It really serves as a glimpse into her private life. Part of what drew me to working behind the camera is that, at my core, I’m a voyeur, and so observing Aubrey at home and out in the world was really satisfying. When she is goofing in the limo with her friends, and then when she is at home with her dogs—that’s the real Aubrey."

"Working closely with Aubrey on her vision for her scenes, and working with the producer Aiden Starr. I love Aiden—she really cares about the talent, about their health and safety and comfort—and she’s one of the most organized people in the world. She is also close to Aubrey, and I think that was really helpful in ensuring the project went as smoothly as it did."

"I just shot a showcase for Gia Derza that releases this month! It’s also from Evil Angel."

"Thank you guys so much for your continued support. It really means a lot!"
