Petra is currently working on the production of her fourth erotic film, to be released at the end of 2008. She also published “Make your Own Adult Video” with Harper Collins. She has started to publish 18-rated “soft” cuts of her films so that they become available to a wider audience that would not be comfortable browsing in a sex shop.
