The long-awaited documentary “Skin In The Game – The Raven Riley Story” from the late filmmaker, David Pilot (1954-2022), has finally been released. The film is available for streaming on Vimeo Pay Per View, and will be released on various streaming services later this year.
“Skin In The Game” tells the story of Raven Riley’s rapid rise to fame and fortune as an amateur online adult model in the early 2000s. With the help of her business manager 3X Tom; her promoter JayMan; and her devoted boyfriend Kevin Baxter, Raven Riley’s stardom and status seemed unstoppable. And yet, as Pilot’s footage ultimately reveals, the stigma of working in adult entertainment coupled with a propensity for self-sabotage can unravel more than one person’s career.
Pilot was inspired to create this biopic from his ‘behind the scenes’ footage from Raven’s first feature film, “Succubus,” which was directed by Wasteland founder, Colin Rowntree in 2005. In addition to Rowntree and crew on the Succubus set, “Skin in the Game” features interviews with Raven Riley, Liz Vicious, Kevin Baxter, Brandi Love, and a large supporting cast, with a cameo appearance by Ron Jeremy. Production for “Skin in the Game” was completed in 2020. David Pilot was in negotiation with HBO and Showtime when he sadly passed away prior to the film’s release.
After David’s death, his daughter contacted Colin Rowntree and asked him to complete the distribution for her father’s final project as executive producer. The documentary’s release has been eagerly anticipated by fans of Raven Riley, and the film promises to be a compelling and eye-opening look at the early world of online interactive porn.
