Other ventures

After a series of travel visa difficulties with U.S. Customs and Immigration, Jet began working a VOD platform based in the United Kingdom. While working on this platform, she also produced a softcore release for Playboy TV UK. The release was titled Tranny and Susanna and was according to Jet the "first-ever softcore transsexual movie for cable, anywhere in the world" and was nominated for an AVN award in 2009. Starting in 2011, after resolving her travel visa issues, Jet began working in the United States again.[1]
