CANOGA PARK, Calif. Starring five of the most recognizable Asian and Asian-American women in adult video, Mercenary Pictures debuts "White on Rice," an all-new series for men who love all things feminine from the Far East.

Directed by and starring Mercenary Pictures owner Lexington Steele, "White on Rice Vol. 1" stars AVN Award winner Mika Tan, Nautica Thorn, Mya Luanna, Kayana Lee and former Private contract star Priva. Mr. Marcus, Jean Claude Batiste, Marco Banderas and Steele also appear in the title.

"There's no denying the beauty of Asian women," Steele, a three time AVN Male Performer of the Year, said. "I love Asian women as well as all women and I think my fans will enjoy the black-on-Asian and Latin-on-Asian interracial scenes of 'White on Rice.' The men and women in the title are the biggest names working in the industry and like all the movies Mercenary Pictures produces, this series will give the consumers the biggest bang for their buck."

Mercenary Pictures consistently shoots high quality titles and brings them to the adult market, Steele added.

"I've been lucky to have worked with some of the best in the business, from producers to directors to talent," he said. "There's a very satisfying feeling to know that you're maintaining high standards from the beginning to the end of a shoot and there is nothing that would ever make myself or any of Mercenary Pictures' directors including Tina Tyler, Jimmy Scaffnetti and Marco Banderas compromise when it comes to creating top shelf gonzo titles."
