Vanessa Cliff is an adult film producer, actress, and community organizer based in Seattle, WA. A happily slutty, kinky and pansexual woman, Vanessa works for a future where all people, regardless of their body, identity, sexuality, or labor, are healthy, safe, free and loved.

Although her career in sex work began as a for-hire porn actress, these days Vanessa is the one calling the shots - or, more accurately, she and a team of other women and queer people who have joined together to form an unusual production company. Unlearning shame about her own body, identity, sexuality, and sexual labor only happened through connection to others. In her work, she strives to build a healing community in which people recognize parts of themselves in each other, lose shame, and find their own power. 

Before her roles in the adult industry, Vanessa worked as a social worker, community organizer, research analyst and writer. She has an M.A. in Human Rights and Nonprofit Management, and a Ph.D. in Social Sciences. More importantly, she is the proud solo parent to an incredible kiddo with whom she loves making huge baking messes and checking out every book at the library. 

Kenny connects with current and new talent to create safer spaces for filming and social connections. He uses a combination of strategic thinking and light-hearted laughter to implement approaches to a more welcoming space.

Cliff Media first attracted Kenny's attention because he wanted to build up the LGBTQ community. He was also drawn to spaces where it's okay to be awkward, and where people wouldn't be shamed for having different body types and sizes, and where people of all gender and racial identities are welcome.

Outside of Cliff Media, Kenny is a prolific actor. He originally immigrated from Hong Kong to the United States with his parents when he was 7. He enjoys hiking, exploring the kink scene, watching anime, playing video games, and  spending times friends and family.

Hazel Havoc

(she/her)

Chief Learning Officer

Hazel Havoc is a pro domme in the Portland area, specializing in impact and mentoring. Her biggest passions are flogging, whipping and teaching people these skills. If you’ve seen flogging in a Cliff Media scene, it’s often Hazel doing the throwing. Hazel’s favorite form of flogging is her signature four point florentine- a non stop barrage of flogs thrown in a seemingly never-ending loop. When not throwing flogs, Hazel has been applying her creative skills to script and direct Cliff Media scenes, mentor new directors, and develop educational curriculum. 

Hazel enjoys all forms of kink and BDSM but especially enjoys exploring the intersection of impact and emotional healing. Hazel believes with every hit of her whip, her subject descends further into healing subspace- shifting your conscious state with a flick of her wrist. Working with Hazel is an experience wrought with razor sharp intention, intense sensation, and focused attention.  This approach coalesces to create unique experiences as individual as the people in them. You’ll be brought back to life as your body pulses and pleasure courses through your veins.  You’ll feel every sense heightened, alert and ready- ready to feel alive, washed by erotic fire and left smoldering. 

Hazel is a native to the fiery volcanoes of the PNW, loves all things outdoors, and loves to feed her inner rockhound. She has been hiking the cascades since she was small, curiously inspecting every tree and turning over every rock. She is playful, curious and painfully accurate.
