Son of legendary porn-pioneer Lasse Braun, who, through his work in the early 60s helped the legalization of pornography in Europe, Axel grew up in Italy, where he received a privileged upper-class upbringing. After attending college and earning a Ph.D. in Psychology, in the late 80s Axel left his country and relocated to Los Angeles, where he graduated from Film School at the prestigious Columbia College. Fluent in five languages, Axel travelled and worked constantly all over the world with his father as an assistant director, writer, producer, cameraman and editor, before finally stepping behind the camera to direct a solo project, The Adventures of the G-Man, the first installment of a successful series that would earn him both critical and commercial praise in his country. His first break in the American X-rated market arrived in 1997 with the movie "The Book of Lust", followed in 1998 by "Sexcape", both of which he wrote, produced, directed, shot and edited. In 1999 he released "Fleshlight" in the US, a hard-core feature that tops the charts in Germany, as well as "Libido" and most notably "The G-Spot Chronicles" which was one of the top-selling adult video of the year in Italy. Interested in the psychological aspects of sex, and obsessed with the reality of the characters and the care for details, Axel always delivers visually captivating stories that provide a solid buildup for the sexual situations, instead of being mere excuses for it. In June 2002 Axel signed an exclusive directing contract with Elegant Angel Productions, releasing "Gigolo: a love story", "Delusion", "The Bachelorette", "Seduction", Trust (2003) (V), and the first three chapter of "The Squirting Adventures of Dr. G". In November 2002 he insured his hands for 2 million USD each with the Lloyds of London. In January 2003 Patrick Collins named him General Manager of Elegant Angel, where he also continues to direct. Among his upcoming projects, the ambitious hi-budget feature Compulsion, entirely shot on film, scheduled for release in September 2003.
