A burned out, jaded writer of erotic fiction who hankers after love, and a ruthless publisher who uses the writer's dark, sexual imaginings to fulfil his own perverse fantasies, form the basis of 'Black Orchid', director Michael Ninn's first major foray into directing erotica. Shot in 1993 'Black Orchid' features the incredibly sexual Sunset Thomas and porn star turned producer Veronica Hart (aka Jane Hamilton) who would go on to produce Ninn's most important works, including the multi-award winning films 'Latex', 'Shock' and 'Dark Garden'.
