Production beginning early 2021
Los Angeles – ?Tied Up in Knots,? starring the much-loved, adult actress ?Olive Glass? and an award-winning, female-led crew, creates a space in film to acknowledge progressive human sexuality and still honor loving relationships in a meaningful way.
There is a universal desire to be supported and satisfied free of judgment, but there’s an anxiousness that still exists. ?Tied Up in Knots? is the representation in cinema that the BDSM community has been waiting for. It has the ability to connect with the hearts and minds of people and empower them to look at their relationships and BDSM in an authentic, new light, all while being romantic, funny, and relatable.
As mainstream Hollywood continues to perpetuate the stereotype that BDSM participants are disturbed and off-kilter, the short film ?Tied Up in Knots is challenging that narrative. Made by people who are active in their BDSM community, the script re-examines the insecurities surrounding what BDSM is and represents the lifestyle in a true light, with a focus on consensual play, open dialogue, and to be unapologetically one’s self, even when that includes being… tied up in knots.
Tied Up in Knots? is working with the nonprofit Threshold LA, a longtime pillar in the Los Angeles BDSM community dedicated to exploring and educating people on informed, consensual BDSM and Kink. Together, we are co-hosting several community engagement opportunities for our audience. The film launched the crowdfunding initiative on Seed and Spark, December 15. It has special, one-of-a-kind gifts for people who contribute to the project as a token of our gratitude.
“This film is important because it diminishes the stigma around Kink and gives a heart-to-heart to those feeling ashamed or nervous about their desires to participate in BDSM. ?Tied Up in Knots, written by Olivia Senecal and directed by Anna Salinas, showcases that it is a common desire and can be a wonderful addition to a loving, committed relationship,” said Theresa Krosse, Producer of Tied Up in Knots.
After the production wraps,T?ied Up in Knots? will be making its way through film festivals, both in the US and internationally, in the Short Live Action category for 2021.
