Things are heating up for Octavia Red, who is kicking off the summer with a massive career double-whammy. Not only has she landed a prestigious nomination for Best Actress at the 2025 Urban X Awards, but she’s also sinking her teeth into a starring role in a cinematic new vampire thriller that’s already getting rave reviews.
An Award-Worthy Year
After a whirlwind year packed with unforgettable performances, Octavia’s hard work is getting the recognition it deserves. The Urban X Awards, known for celebrating the industry’s top talent of color, has shortlisted her for one of its highest honors. For Octavia, the nomination is more than just an award—it’s a direct nod from the people who matter most: her fans.
“Wow, this is really amazing, and I’m speechless,” Octavia shared. “To be recognized for my acting is something I’ve always wanted… However, being nominated by my fans speaks volumes, as they truly appreciate my work. Thank you so much. I’d love to win this, so please vote for me.”
Fans eager to support her can cast their vote at urbanxvoting.com until August 1. The main event, hosted by Isiah Maxwell, Lacy Lennon, and Ebony Mystique, is set to light up the Regent Theater in Downtown Los Angeles on August 17.
Sinking Her Teeth into “Hunters”
Coinciding with her awards buzz, Octavia is making her debut for the high-concept studio Vampired in a new scene titled “Hunters.” Shot on location in Europe, this isn’t your average feature. The story follows Octavia as a master vampire hunter who goes missing on a mission. When her fellow hunters, played by Talia Mint and Tiffany Tatum, find her, they discover she’s been bitten and has a new, dark appetite.
The scene is a perfect example of the industry’s shift toward more story-driven, cinematic experiences. It’s intense, suspenseful, and packed with twists that keep you guessing.
Vampired creator/producer Romero, Mr. Alien, couldn’t be happier with her performance:
“This scene is skillfully shot and well-played by Octavia. You never know what will happen next, and she steps into the role very well,” he said. “Her acting and on-screen sexual prowess are impressive… The girls and [director] Roberto Di Suna did an incredible job on this scene, and the members love it.”
A Star on the Rise
Octavia Red’s recent success is a testament to her talent and versatility. From earning critical acclaim for her acting to captivating audiences in plot-heavy productions, she is carving out a unique space for herself in the industry. Represented by the well-known Foxx Modeling, her momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
As fans rally to get her the Urban X win and tune into her thrilling new vampire role, one thing is clear: Octavia Red is a force to be reckoned with, and her star is only just beginning to shine its brightest.
