Maya Farrell Interview: Current Projects & Future Plans
Maya Farrell characterizes herself as assertive and energetic, two qualities that have helped her gain a wide following. After her debut in 2019, she moved effortlessly from scene to scene and from collaborator to collaborator. Learn about this and so much more in our new Maya Farrell interview!
Tell us a little bit about your background. How did you get into the industry?
I was 20 years old when I started. I was transferring to a private university in Florida for biochemistry. At the time I was cam modeling at night and doing my classes during the day. I wanted to be more stable for school so I went to Craigslist to look for modeling gigs. To my luck, I met a guy who knew a recruiter for my first scene around June 2019. The more the year went on, the more I dedicated all my time to porn and filming. So I dropped out of my first year at the new school and I haven’t looked back since. I studied biochemistry for years before making that decision and I don’t regret it.
What are your memories of the very first porn scene you shot?
I remember flying to Hollywood for my scene with Net Video Girls. I was still in school at the time. I was still getting used to traveling alone. I even remember asking the flight agent to highlight my ticket because I couldn’t understand how to read it. Driving around I remember being shocked by all the billboards. I definitely was learning so much at once. The day of my first scene, I remember the director giving me a moment of seriousness; basically, asking me if I wanted to back out or not . . . Long story short, I met Donnie Rock and wanted my porn virginity taken faster than lightning.
What’s the story behind your stage name?
So like I said, I used to be a cam model, still do actually on my onlyfans; hence, I already had my name Maya . I wanted MF as my initials, so Farrell is what I came up with, I love how it rolls off my tongue. It’s naturally seductive.
Talk about working with Cherie DeVille for Brazzers.
Cherie Deville was too humble to take my compliment, yet just like I told her . . . working with her is like working with a living legend. She absolutely swept me off my feet and turned me completely. She’s so vocal and absolutely naughty with her words when having sex with me. I am truly honored to met, work, have sex and laugh with Cherie.
Is there any particular movie or scene that you think best captures your style as a performer?
My scenes with Brazzers and New Sensations really capture my style of work. Mindgeek typically casts me as a hot, vocal, bratty babe who needs to learn her place whether as a girlfriend, step-daughter or roommate (in most cases). New Sensations being a romantic and seductive site really glorifies my ability to be soft yet assertive simultaneously — whether as a hot young wife, naïve stepdaughter or tempting babysitter.
Was there a performer who acted as a mentor to you when you first entered the industry?
No one has acted as a mentor towards me. I would say I learned by watching others and how they are treated. Also, most of my friends in the industry are 10+ year vets. They are so nice and willing to be frank with me about common struggles and other adult advice.
What is the one thing you most wish you could change about the industry?
If I could change anything, it would be holding men to the same standard as women with beauty standards. I have to get pedicures, take care of my skin and do my hair; then, so should guys. We are both in front of the camera.
What was the most bizarre plot scenario you’ve shot for a porn movie?
I recently did a scene with Andre Madness [Final Girl], and I was a valley girl in cheesy ghost movie. It was actually really fun.
What industry award would you most like to win?
It is a dream of mine to win the “best tits” award. There are so many awards and I am willing to work hard for the Best Performance Award.
What was your most heartwarming interaction with a fan?
My most heartwarming interaction with a fan was when I was in my hometown on vacation at an annual skateboarding event. I am smoking outside and I strike up a conversation with this group of lovely ladies. One of them with a camera was astounded to talk to me and just couldn’t stop smiling when she spoke to me. She said she was a huge fan and knew I was in town. I gave her a hug and took a photo with her on her Polaroid. She made sure I walked away with the photo so I can remember meeting her. She said she didn’t need the photo because it will forever be in her memory. I smile just thinking about it. The photo hangs on my wall now.
Which sex position is the most challenging to perform on camera?
Reverse cowgirl can be difficult just because I feel like I have a double chin from a low angle ha ha ha. I have a short torso so I hust feel like I’m all legs and a bobbing head.
Take us through your daily routine on a shooting day.
So I like to wake up about three hours before call time. I shower, shave, and get ready. Pack my suitcase for the day. Go on Onlyfans. Eat breakfast, which is typically water, yogurt, fruit, and some vitamins. Walk my dog, twerk in the mirror and then I’m out the door going towards the shoot. I arrive, get my makeup and hair done while talking to the MUA and production team. Going over my script. I get into my porn outfit. Get amazing photos taken of me and the lucky guy of the day. I like to chug some water or clear Gatorade before the scene. I like to be little hungry so I’m drooling more on the cock. Then I fuck my co-talent to oblivion. Get a facial of cum for the photographer, can swoop in and take photos of my pretty smile with man juice all over it. Some lovely person hands me a towel, wipes, and water. I am absolutely treated like a princess. I take my shower, put on my sweats, and devour my food that has been waiting for me. I get handed my check and then I’m back out the door to spend the rest of my day with my dog and my fans online.
You told Bang.com you’d like to branch into directing. What is one of your dream directorial projects?
It would be a dream of mine to direct my own cinematic porn movies. I really like the idea of my own production team. I’m currently working on my first self-directed movie. It is a four-scene project featuring Kira Perez as the co-female talent. Wrapped on the idea of women wanting to cum first and getting fucked hoe we want to. Men cum last.
What are some of the major insights you’ve learned from industry directors you’ve worked for?
Working with directors I have learned anything is possible and you can come from any background of status. Everyone has at least one type of style they are great at shooting. Working with such a diverse group of directors made me personally realize how I like to direct. Constantly sparking my curiosity.
Talk about shooting for the In the Room series. Was it challenging to shoot a sex scene while also interacting directly with the camera in the way that series demands?
Actually this was extremely easy for me. I would rather be locking eyes in the camera. It is definitely a skill I have learned from being a cam model. It’s probably why I made the front cover of it. I am amazing at making a love connection so real that is forever preserved into the film for the world to enjoy.
You’ve described yourself as very headstrong. Have you ever clashed with a collaborator about the creative direction of a movie or scene?
The older I get, the more I try to work on the best way to describe myself. I would say more assertive now. I’m definitely an intense person, very energetic. Yet I am very aware of my place in any environment. I always try to read the room and respect the vibe. It’s probably why I get along well with people older than me.
Name some movies, TV series, books, or music you have been loving lately.
I love satirical comedies like South Park, Family Guy, Rick and Morty. Nacho Libre. I love Wesley Snipes movies like New Jack City and the Blade trilogy.
What are your biggest plans for the remainder of 2022?
My biggest plan for the rest of the year is to invest in my own production status. Setting up a shoot house, updating camera equipment, and creating a production team.
