About Missy Jubilee

A massive undertaking of 250 films over 15 years. An uncomfortably personal journey into the mind, sex, life, history, thinking, perversions and regrets of one woman — from age 4 to 40.

Before Missy Jubilee’s Future Sex Love Art Projekt, a person could be forgiven for laughing off the idea that “porn” could be art, or offer an honest look at what makes a person who they are. Missy Jubilee has paved a new way, with the star, artist, and writer stepping out to transform adult film on her own terms.

With a goal of 250 films, each revealing a different aspect of who she is, she’s already 218 deep — and each one has been more powerful than the last. Missy writes and directs healthy, thoughtful, personal erotica that appeals to people with brains, who appreciate creativity and aren’t afraid to have their beliefs challenged.

That’s part of the vision of Missy Jubilee, an art star in her own right — getting increasing exposure for an ongoing series of short adult films that are painfully difficult to categorise.

The Future Sex Love Art Projekt

The Future Sex Love Art Projekt launched in 2014 as a response to an adult industry that seemed locked in an arms race to degrade women — to see who could be the most disgusting, explicit and hardcore. The Projekt aims to provide a healthy, intelligent alternative to dumb porn. 218 films later, Missy hasn’t even begun to run out of ideas.

“Many people thought 250 films represented a huge number, but it really isn’t,” Missy continued. “Who doesn’t have a 250 subject they would like to explore? This is an act of love and passion — sometimes it feels great and sometimes it hurts. But I’m putting it all out there for the world to see, and hopefully appreciate.”

The first 120 films were completed with her film-making partner, television and film industry veteran Max Jubilee, as cinematographer, editor and director. The chemistry that was captured was undeniable.

However, sadly, Max took his own life on 13 January 2020 at the age of 60. He was twenty years older than Missy. These events were dealt with in Missy’s films “I Like Em Dropped (Dead)” and “Kunt”. Interestingly, the highly personal “I Like Em Dropped (Dead)” is the only film in the catalogue with no nudity.

Awards & Recognition

The Future Sex Love Art Projekt has been recognised across 38 awards and 69 film festival selections, spanning short-film, experimental, art-film, women-in-cinema and erotica categories. The catalogue includes Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Experimental Short, Best Adult Art Film, and audience-choice wins from festivals in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia.

Introducing Arundai Grunchfeld

My name is Arundai Grunchfeld, and I run the global erotic distribution company xFilms, based in New York and Paris. I have known Missy Jubilee for over 10 years and I consider her a close friend. I first connected with her as a fan in 2014, and then I helped her negotiate her global distribution contract with Appaloosa Duck in January 2021.

Arundai Grunchfeld is a pioneer in the mainstream erotic industry. He grew up in Moscow, Russia and Netanya, Israel — the son of a father who was a senior director of Mossad, and a mother who was a Professor of Literature at Tel Aviv University. After studying film-making at the prestigious USC School of Cinematic Arts, he worked under Barry Diller at Paramount Pictures for 10 years. He now runs the major global distributor xFilms New York, and is a director of European erotic-film distributor Skin Flicks. In 2022, following the success of Missy Jubilee’s 250-film project, he was appointed as an executive director of Appaloosa Duck and runs its USA business out of Los Angeles and New York. He lives in Georgetown in the Cayman Islands.

Who is Missy Jubilee?

Missy Jubilee is an Australian filmmaker, photographer, and writer known for her bold, boundary-pushing work in female-authored erotica. Her films and photographs explore the intersection of sexuality, sensuality, and identity, and challenge traditional notions of gender, sexuality and beauty.

Background and Career

Missy Jubilee was born in Australia in 1981 and grew up in the small town of Mullumbimby. She studied mathematics and then visual arts at university in Melbourne. She then worked in various creative fields — graphic design, advertising, music production, and web design — before becoming interested in erotica and sensual art, while also serving as a minority director of major adult-media production company Righteous Films.

She drew inspiration from her own experiences of sexuality and sensuality, as well as from filmmakers and artists exploring similar themes. Over the years, Missy has become a highly respected and influential figure in the world of erotic art film, known for her innovative approach and willingness to challenge traditional notions of gender, sexuality and beauty.

Creative Process and Style

Missy Jubilee’s films and photographs are characterised by a unique and highly stylised aesthetic, featuring striking imagery, bold colours and sensual lighting. Her work often incorporates elements of surrealism, performance art, and experimental filmmaking, and is marked by a raw, authentic approach to sexuality and the female body.

In her creative process, Missy draws on her own experiences of sexuality and sensuality, as well as on the experiences of her collaborators and models. She places a strong emphasis on communication and collaboration, and works closely with her models to create a safe and supportive environment in which they can explore their own sexuality and sensuality.

One of the key themes that runs through Missy’s work is the exploration of identity and self-expression. Her films and photographs challenge traditional gender roles and celebrate the diversity of human sexuality, showcasing a wide range of bodies, genders, and expressions of desire.

Impact and Legacy

Missy Jubilee’s work has had a significant impact on the world of erotica and female representation, challenging traditional ideas of beauty, sexuality, and gender, and opening up new possibilities for self-expression and exploration. Her films and photographs have been exhibited at art galleries and festivals around the world, and have won numerous awards and accolades (see the awards page for the full list). They have also been widely praised for their powerful and thought-provoking representation of female sexuality, which stands in stark contrast to the objectifying and limiting representations often seen in mainstream media.

In addition to her creative work, Missy is also an advocate for social justice and equality, and uses her platform to raise awareness of issues related to sexuality, gender, and identity.

Returning to art roots

What is Missy’s end goal with her project? Adult-film stardom? Mainstream acceptance? No. Missy wants to return to her art roots and have all 250 films playing simultaneously on 250 screens at Tate Modern in London, and MoMA New York, by 2027, in an exhibition titled The New Pornographers.

I want the naked body to be back in the best art museums in the world, not relegated to Pornhub.

Missy Jubilee

In 2023, Missy launched her own music label SEX LUV RECORDS to distribute her extensive catalogue of remixes.

Yes, the films are hot, but not in the way the last generation would think about porn. Artful, for sure, but free from being pretentious. Sometimes even sad, but with soundtracks that could make any dance music club fire up. Adult film is the last place to expect this kind of thing, but Missy Jubilee is clearly following her own direction, and it’s leading into unmapped territory. Missy is single-handedly mainstreaming erotica in the most interesting and unexpected ways.
