Master sent me this link to the movie trailer for a newly released documentary film about BDSM.
The press on it is as follows:
Just in time for Pre-Pride event. Break out the Red Carpet for this Movie Premier in San Francisco, CA: "BDSM: It's Not What You Think! kinksters confront stigma and stereotype" is finally having it's premiere screening at the Frameline International Film Festival!
A film by Erin Palmquist, Brad Vanderbuilt, Wade Keye, and R. Trent Walton.
The film features Bay Area Educators: Ms. Heart, Domina Selina Raven, Jorge Vieto, Sybil Holiday, Nova & Atticus, Master Hines and Mrs.Hines, Janet Hardy, Lord Falcon, and Robert Black.
Premier Screening: Friday night June 20th, 2008 at the Roxie Theater 16th Street & Valencia Sts. San Francisco, CA 94110 (Mission District).
We've looked at the trailer. This appears to be a very well done film that handles the subject with sensitivity, knowledge, and a matter of fact approach that helps to eliminate the sensational and lurid aura that the mainstream media so often loads into depictions of the lifestyle. Finally, a movie about us that destigmatizes our sexual orientation.
Clearly, here in the "heartland," it may be awhile before this comes to a theater near us. Still, we'll be watching for it. Spread the word, near and far. Let's get behind this and support the work of these educators, activists, and film artists in bringing our story to the screen.
There's a Blog dedicated to the movie as well. Check it out and add your voice.

Swan,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your support. I am thrilled that you have heard about the film already. Word traveled fast! The internet is amazing!
We will continue to submit to further festivals so hopefully we will land near you at some point. If not, once we have been able to scrape together the funds to create DVDs we will offer them for sale on our web site.
If you or others would like to be added to our e-mail update list or have questions/requests please send me an e-mail.
