She and her husband Jimmy Broadway are lifestyle BDSM players and co-founded Severe Sex Films with the aim of combining authentic BDSM with cinematic production values. Their films have received multiple awards — an AVN Award for “Best BDSM Movie,” an XBIZ Award for “Fetish Release of the Year” and a FemDom Award for “DVD of the Year” — plus multiple nominations, including ones from the Transgender Erotica Awards (TEAs) and Feminist Porn Awards.

Angie Rowntree is the founder of Sssh.com, the web’s premier “porn for women” site and winner of the XBIZ’s “Adult Site of the Year — For Women” 2017 award, among many others. Rowntree got her start in the adult industry’s online sector in the early ‘90s, making her one of the Internet’s true porn pioneers.
