Former adult star Nyomi Banks, aka Amanda Dee, releases her independent horror film 'Souls' on Tubi, 16 years after its completion. The film, which Banks wrote and executive produced, stars her as the lead. It faced technical challenges and was put on hold until 2026 when a distributor accepted it.
Former adult entertainment star Nyomi Banks is set to debut her independent horror film, Souls, on Tubi on Thursday, October 22. The movie, which Banks wrote and executive produced under her professional name Amanda Dee, stars Banks as the lead character Naomi Sims.
Originally completed over 16 years ago, Souls faced technical challenges related to lighting, sound, and post-production. A representative explained that without the necessary budget to resolve these issues, the filmmakers decided to put the project on hold.
In 2026, while revisiting another production, Caught 2: Lisa's Back, Banks and her production partner explored distribution opportunities for Souls. A distributor accepted the film, providing an opportunity for the project to reach audiences. Banks stated, "Not everything needs to be created yesterday to have value today. Sometimes our earlier work simply needs another opportunity to be seen."
The cast of Souls includes Dee/Banks, Mel Roberson, Riley Vercher, Simeon Henderson, Fredrick Paul Williams, Ajay Milan, Joe Jo Dancer, Cedrina Harris, TeeJay, and Brittney Baker. Mike Merrill directed and co-executive produced the movie, with Ron Shelton also serving as an executive producer. Treagen Kier was the director of photography, Landis Johnson was the makeup artist, and Jason Gade was the special effects artist. Souls is a That's Common Productions release.
The release of Souls follows the 2026 debut of Caught 2: Lisa's Back on Tubi, another production originally shot more than a decade ago. Banks noted that seeing two earlier projects reach streaming audiences in the same year represents a significant milestone in her career. She shared, "The vision never died. The story never died. And now, the Souls are ready to speak."
Nyomi Banks, known to adult entertainment audiences for her award-winning career as a performer, has expanded her professional portfolio across production, media, entrepreneurship, and personal development.
