Films
Bell founded the production company Blue Artichoke Films in 2004. Bell's films have been cited for their sense of intimacy, realism, and authenticity. Bell says she aims to create positive social change with her erotic films by purposely eroticizing sexual communication between partners, by diversifying portrayals of gender, and by showing diversity in both casting (diverse race, body type, etc.) and in showing the flexible, diverse, creative nature of sex. Her films have been covered in Vice, BuzzFeed, Playboy, Filmmaker, Dazed, Cosmopolitan, and Huffington Post, among others.
