For IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BiPhoria Debuts New Series ‘Bi Watch’
(Hollywood, CA) Multi-award-winning prolific director Jim Powers has created a brand-new BiPhoria series, Bi Watch. Inspired by the 1990s hit TV show “Bay Watch” starring David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson, Powers’ female cast wears the iconic red one-piece swimsuit, and all the lifeguards are equipped with red rescue cans, hats, fanny packs, and whistles on lanyards. The male lifeguard's wardrobe of red board shorts has been replaced with red thong bodysuits.
Over the long holiday weekend, the first scene of the new BiPhoria series “Bi Watch.” Episode 1 stars Rebel Rhyder, Dillion Diaz, and Joel Someone as lifeguards keeping the California coast safe. They might not use the right suntan oil, but they have the right chemistry.
Episode 2 drops on September 13th. Tony Sting almost drowns in the ocean, but it’s Draven Navarro and Aliya Brynn to the rescue, and they give him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The pair bring Tony back to their place for some action to celebrate.
And the final scene, Episode 3, drops on September 27th with Adira Allure, Sage Roux, and Steve Rickz.
“This new series was fun to concept, film, and direct. ‘Bay Watch’ was a favorite show of many, but what if it was bi?! Wonder no more and enjoy my latest series. These lifeguards might not be the best at saving your life at the beach, but they can give you countless orgasms,” says Jim Powers.
Watch the trailer and all three scenes as they become available at biphoria.com/en/movie/Bi-Watch/123057. The title will debut on VOD and DVD next month.

About JIM POWERS
Jim Powers is one of the most prolific directors of our time who's always been known for being controversial and once told Forbes he wants to be the Warren Buffett of porno. Growing up in the Valley in the 1970s, Jim was influenced by comic books, horror movies, fan magazines, and skateboarding, and in the 1980s, all he wanted to do was be a punk rocker and skateboarder. After graduating from Cal State Northridge, he became a stockbroker, a DVD distributor, and a part-time pornographer.
In 1992, while gambling in Ballys in Vegas, Jim wandered into the AVN Awards and decided he could make a better movie than most people there for $5k—he and his friend put up $2500 each to make "The Hills Have Thighs." Kevin Beachum of Midnight Pictures encouraged him to shoot amateurs on the beach, even though he had never even picked up a camera. While shooting on the beach in Malibu, his set was shut down, and he was hit with felony charges of pandering and conspiracy. He continued to shoot at private houses and swinger parties for Beachum and other companies to cover his legal bills.
In 1993, a chance meeting with Jeff Mike of JM Productions led to history when the two joined forces, regularly pushing the limits of sex while still staying out of prison. Jim helped them roll out their bukkake line and invented American Bukkake—Downtown Larry Melrose from the Howard Stern Show was frequently on his sets. Jim had his own company, Powersville, and directed for legendary adult studios Heatwave, Mayhem, Sin City, Notorious, Immoral Productions, and Smash Pictures. Currently, he directs for Gender X, Devil's Film, BiPhoria, Dogfart, Zero Tolerance, Adult Time, Transfixed, Fantasy Massage, and Addicted to Girls, and averages over 300 scenes per year. In 2023, ASN Lifestyle Magazine profiled him with a 10-page feature.
With 50 performer credits and thousands of scenes as a director, Jim won Director of the Year (Body of Work) and Best Director - Non-Feature from the AVN Awards and was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2005. He's also scored countless AVN Awards nominations for Best Director, Best Director – Feature, Director of the Year: Individual Project, Best Directing Portfolio – Specialty, Best Director – Parody, Director of the Year (Body of Work), Director - Non-Feature, and Best Videography, as well as Gonzo Director of the Year from the XBIZ Awards, Best Producer Nominee from the TEAs, Best Director – Parody from XRCOs, Top BDSM Release from AEBN's VOD Awards, and multiple nods for his scenes and titles from the NightMoves Awards.
During the Black Flag era, Jim sported a mohawk and toured in punk rock bands. He still plays bass in the punk rock band Killroy at high-end venues like Roxy, Viper Room, and Knitting Factory.
