REMEDY’s Rotterdam Success!

A newly subtitled edition of REMEDY screened on January 29 in Rotterdam to a sold out house. Here was what some of them had to say:

“REMEDY is a good example of the quality you can find in the indy scene. Often kinky movies are mainly about images and lack a good storyline. This wasn’t the case with REMEDY, it was intriguing till the end.”

“I thought REMEDY was brilliant… I love the change between funny, awkward and horny. The opening scene which left you disgusted right away, the scene with the actor which took my breath away. Good music, beautiful images. Yes, I loved it!”

So pleased that it went over so well, and looking forward to more European success stories!

Private Screening at Videology on 2/2

They came again, my friends, and this time they brought their friends. And this time, thanks to this review, a few of the “industry people” came. As a result of reactions from that screening and from the review itself, I am DETERMINED to schedule a “Pros Only” screening for women who worked in houses, particularly, plus any other sex worker who may want to join.

Videology, which was a fantastic screening location, may very well host a public screening of the film for free — meaning I don’t have to rent space. More details on that as they come.

Additionally, I hope that the Videology screening can help me kick off a series of private events, which the only way people in the United States can see the film until I get the music licensing straightened out. (Actually, I’m still holding out that some domestic festival takes a shine to the film. I can still hope, eh?)

Review from TitsAndSass.com

“The film is by no means a litany of horrors. It shows the positive moments and even the mundane ones. This is working in a house dungeon, in all of its awkward, bizarre, horrifying, hilarious, heart-wrenching glory. This is also the story of entering, and the story of leaving.”

Perhaps the best review I could hope for, given that it was written by a fellow pro-switch – Lori Adorable.

REMEDY was always intended to be a movie for people like me, who had worked in houses and either went on to independent work or who had left sex work behind entirely. My fear was that they would watch the film like programmers watch Hackers or doctors watch House, picking apart each and every inaccuracy. Yeah, I got choked up when I read it.
