Royalle's ex-husband, Per Sjosted, was a producer and assistant director who contributed to the Femme project with Royalle and Niemi. Their first two movies were "FemmE" and "Urban Heat". It was not until the production of the film "Three Daughters", in 1987, that Royalle began directing. Royalle has stated that this production was one of the most expensive films she had worked on, with a $75,000 budget. "Three Daughters" soon became the largest seller for Royalle, and it received an award for the soundtrack, which was produced by a British musician, Gary Window, who worked with Pink Floyd and the Psychedelic Furs. Window was also the husband of the lead actress of "Three Daughters", Siobhan Hunter. Royalle soon after produced a three-volume set, "Star Director Series", and "Revelations". "Revelations" had a more political message on the perspective of how life would not be life if we did not have the right to freely express ourselves artistically and sexually. Royalle explains that it was her way of retaliating against society's hostility towards the adult industry and the indifference of clients purchasing and renting adult movies, but not fighting for their rights to do so. In 1995, Royalle became determined to fully return to production and signed on with Adam & Eve to fund and produce more Femme productions. "My Surrender", released in 1996, won AVN's Best Actress award for Jeanna Fine. Other films that Royalle directed included "The Gift", starring McCullough and Mark Davis, "Bridal Shower", which featured Nina Hartley, "One Size Fits All: A Sex Comedy In Five Acts", starring Nina Hartley, Missy, Shanna McCullough, Mark Davis and Tom Byron in "Eyes of Desire", parts one and two. In 2005, Royalle presented "Caribbean Heat", which was shot in Panama and introduced Manuela Sabrosa. The film was produced by Italian writer/film-maker Michele Capozzi. Additionally, in 2007 Royalle produced a new sex comedy titled "Under the Covers", that featured a mixture of new performers from New York and Los Angeles. Royalle also presented "Afrodite Superstar", which was the beginning of a new era of a mix of talented actors and actresses from diverse ethnic backgrounds. Royalle said that this line was being labeled as "Femme Chocolat". She expressed that her main aspiration with this project was to educate new young female directors.
