Career

Slutever

Sciortino started her blog Slutever in 2007 while living in London.[4] Initially, the blog centered around her and roommates' sexual exploits and life in their squatting commune, but soon evolved into what the New York Times called "a chronicle of sexual experimentation."[5]

In 2012, Sciortino and producer Adri Murguia started a web series called Slutever for Vice, which ran for three seasons.[6] The series took a journalistic approach to exploring taboo aspects of modern sexuality, with Sciortino as host.[7] In 2017, Sciortino and Murguia co-created a Viceland television series, also called Slutever, which built thematically off of the webseries.[8][9] The second season of Viceland’s Slutever is currently in production.

Sciortino’s memoir Slutever: Dispatches from an Autonomous Woman in a Post Shame World was published by Grand Central Publishing (New York City) on February 6th, 2018.[10][11]

Now Apocalypse

Sciortino and Gregg Araki co-wrote the first season of Now Apocalypse (executive produced by Steven Soderbergh), a surreal comedy television show premiering on Starz in 2019.[12] Sciortino is also the show’s consulting producer.[13]

Easy

In 2017, Sciortino starred in "Side Hustle," Episode 3 of Season 2 of Joe Swanberg's Netflix television show Easy.[14]

Personal life

Sciortino was born in Highland, New York.[5] She later moved to London where she lived in a squatting commune.[3] In 2010 Sciortino moved to New York City, and she currently lives between New York and Los Angeles.[7][15]
