More about Morgana:

As a first generation Australian female born to European parents, my upbringing focused strongly on how a ‘good woman’ should behave and appear, in private and in public. Becoming a wife and mother was considered to be the ultimate achievement for a woman. Sex and all related pleasures was never discussed but considered as something to learn and conduct in the confines of a marriage.

In 2012, at the age of 47 years and 2 years after leaving my marriage, I decided to embark on my journey of sexual exploration and learning.
It was in 2012 that I first read about Petra Joy, an internationally acclaimed feminist porn film maker, producing “erotic films from a female perspective”.  I had an immediate sense that Petra was a kindred spirit, urging me to unshackle my past and giving me permission to release this voice within, that was screaming to be heard. And so my first ever film “Duty Bound” was conceived….writing, performing, producing and submitting the short film into the2012 Petra Joy Awards and ultimately being judged the winning entry.
