A thoughtful reader sent me a link to an amusing short film – Open for Submissions. It’s only 6 minutes long and was apparently made in just 48 hours for the Instant Films festival in 2001. It’s not laugh out loud funny, but has nice a gentle slice of life humor to it.
I suspect it might generate two different reactions between kinky and non-kinky people. The non-kinksters will smile at the intended juxtaposition of regular daily life with strange kinky behavior. There’s conventional romantic expressions played off against very unconventional behaviors. In contrast, I think a lot of kinksters might look at it and go – “Oohhhh, that’s so sweet! What a great dynamic. Why can’t I have a relationship like that one?”
I wonder if the original writer (Gerald McClanahan) intended that duality?
It was directed by Charles Papert and the actors are Amy Jo Traicoff and David Holcomb.
