To say this is an absolute dream is an understatement.”

There are no words to express the gratitude I have in my heart for receiving four nominations from AVN. I simply cannot wait for award season and to see what happens next year!” 

Once Upon a TS Summer was Lovely’s directorial debut, with Aiden Starr credited as Director of Photography and Marc Kramer signing on as the producer. The feature film was released by Grooby and is available to stream and download at GroobyDVD.com.
