(Hollywood, CA) It seems that there is a new article about Sasha Grey hitting the press each day and Not Bewitched XXX movie director Will Ryder can only sit back and enjoy watching the young actress and her meteoric rise in mainstream Hollywood.

Sasha had a memorable role in the 2009 best sex-comedy winner Not Bewitched XXX and many are crediting that movie with helping launch her current mainstream success.

“She really needed the exposure she received from our spoof of ‘Bewitched’ in order to achieve the success she is enjoying today,” Ryder said as he munched on a bagel loaded with ham outside a Jewish delicatessen on Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles.

“I think she really appreciated my input and award-winning direction in Not Bewitched XXX which she used to hone her acting skills. It’s quite obvious that she utilized the entire experience as a stepping stone into the big leagues with the Girlfriend Experience,” said Ryder.

When asked if he really thought there were any similarities in the way he directs and in the way the Academy Award winning Steven Soderbergh directs Ryder was quick to point out that there is very little difference in the two styles.

“Listen, we all sit in a big folding director’s chair with our name printed on the back and we all yell for quiet on the set and say shut the fuck up and then we call action. What’s the difference?”

Sasha Grey has not made any public statements regarding her experience with Will Ryder or the rest of the cast of Not Bewitched XXX which included Jenna Haze, Teagan Presley, Eva Angelina, Sunny Lane, Nina Hartley, Aurora Snow, Michelle Avanti, Madison Ivy, Daisy Layne, Kandice Nicole, Kelly Skyline, Winter Sky, Marli Jane, Mike Horner, Ron Jeremy, James Bartholet, James Deen, Aaron Wilcox, Jack Lawrence, Nathan Threat and Britney Amber but it is clear that the movie played a pivotal role in her development as an actress and as a person.

When asked to comment on Ryder’s claim that she used Not Bewitched XXX and Will Ryder as a stepping stone the brunette beauty could only respond, “Will who? Oh, the guy that did the “Brady Bunch” and “Cosby Show” pornos? I thought he went back to the music business.”

For now Will Ryder is moving full speed ahead with his upcoming production of the mega-movie Flight Attendants and this week’s release of Not the Cosbys XXX but knows that Sasha Grey is somewhere fondly thinking about him and the five hours they spent together on the set of Not Bewitched XXX.

Fighting back a tear, Ryder summed it up best by saying, “It was pure magic. She’s a special actress and I’m so proud of her.”
