The award was unveiled Sunday, January 18, at the 2026 XMA Awards ceremony at the famed Hollywood Palladium. Hosted by Violet Myers and Kazumi, the event concluded a dynamic week of industry programming encompassing the XBIZ LA Conference, XBIZ Expo, and X3 Expo. A star-packed red carpet, hosted by Melissa Stratton, set the tone for the evening’s celebrations.

Alff’s screenplay for Strip was recognized for its emotional depth and sophisticated structure, helping elevate the film far beyond traditional genre expectations. Under Greenwood’s direction, the story unfolded as a bold, cinematic exploration of intimacy, power, and performance—earning widespread praise from fans and industry peers alike.

“This award is a testament to the power of strong storytelling in adult cinema,” a Dorcel representative said. “Shawn Alff’s script for Strip set the foundation for a film that resonated on every level, and Ricky Greenwood’s vision brought that story to the screen with confidence, style, and purpose. We’re incredibly proud to see this work honored on such a prestigious stage.”
