Jacky St. James is a multiple award-winning American pornographic film director and screenwriter. St. James was born and raised in Northern Virginia, in the Washington Metropolitan Area. In 2004, at the age of 27, she moved to Los Angeles, where she became a mainstream film/television actress and director. In May 2010, a friend of St. James, who is a director of photography, sent her a clip of The Wedding Day from the New Sensations Romance Series because he was impressed by the quality of the film. After researching The Romance Series, she discovered that New Sensations was doing a writing contest for the series. Adult film director Eddie Powell gave her advice on how to write a porn script after she contacted him on Twitter. She entered the contest in 2011 and her script, Dear Abby, won. She later won Best Screenplay for the film at the 2012 AVN Awards. In 2014, she became only the second woman after Stormy Daniels to win an XRCO Award as Best Director (Feature).
