Where did you find these people? I really agree with the message though: better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

Strike a pose!

Great pod, congrats on three airing!! I would greenlight if I could!

I was so glad to see this on current......beautifully freaky

I love it! I just finished working on a doc tv show called "Red Light." I field produced a segment on fetish photo which aired w/ two other segments on a porn agency and a drag queen led band in LA called Dirty Sanchez. Check it out here: link Let me know if you are interested in collaborating on anything. -A.T.

Great story! There should be more stuff like this out there in TV land.

I always appreciate a micro story that illucidates a macro issue. This is an great example of looking at a universal issue - body image - through the lens of a photographer and his artistic pursuit. I am drawn into Elvis and his work and through that door I gain insight to these women. I get who they are, how they feel, and how they celebrate their beauty.
Well done.

Very nice story. Well done!
I've been interested in this style of work for a few years and I'm glad to see a production like this.

great job to all of those involved especially elvis and gil- theres no two more enterprising honest guys in atlanta. this was alot of fun to watch and see the creative process from all sides.

Fat bitches in party hats. Can't go wrong if you are into that shit. Not really my style, but a well put together piece. GLEENLIGHTED.

very cool very well filmed very well told very green light

amazing story.

I really enjoyed watching this, and listening to what the models and the photographer had to say. It kept my interest the entire time....And I loved the quote "It's better to be hated for what you are....Then loved for what you aren't." SO true!
I personally think that curvy women of various sizes,shapes and forms are so much more attractive and sexy, then the anorexic standard in today's modeling world. So, I say, awsome... for anyone who can stand up and break that mold! GREAT JOB!

Great story and well told. This is what current is all about.

Greenlight - xcellent film.
Difficult subject presented in a brilliant way. Liked the way you let the subjects make the film personal. Challenging but handled well.

Good Job. Got a greenlight here.

I'm proud to know some of you, even if it's not personally. Thank you for representing ME.

Really awesome documentary, definitly humanizes fetish models. I really dig the message of the whole thing and I love the live model in the background. I have nothing really bad to say about it, you get a green light from me.

I'm really trying to think of some constructive criticsms, but this piece is very well paced, has great transitions, and a good blend of narration over live shots. I really enjoyed the interviews and the variety of different environments in the piece. The intro and outro 'camera shot effects' are nice as well, and the content is very meaningful. I saw the credits at the end, but did elvis or any of the models get a plug for the site? I can't remember if they mentioned the name of their site in the video or not. Overall I'd say this is a good piece of work!

This is a good production of a video, but it is lacking some key things for a fetish vid. Where is all the spanking and screaming? The photographer talks about raw meat and blood.... why not in the video? Overall it left me with a good feeling about people trying to feel good about thereselves in any sort of way. Thanks G.I.L

Very well done!!

Great work once again by CumbustaGil. I really enjoyed watching this video. Both the video work and editing was flawless. And a great topic that makes you want to be curious about watching more! Keep up the awesome work Gil!

Wow, Dagger and I look so professional... You did a very wonderful job! I hope to see you again sometime and please feel free to film us again!

Very interesting and professionally done............

The gritty Americana style that Gil displays in this Docu is what makes his Docus worth watching.I loved it.

Dude this was awesome... I will be there next time and we should do some work together with Roy... It would be some truly awesome stuff.

I was very pleased to be a part of this (the only chick photographer/model in the film and at the event:)
And getting to work with some of the lovely ladies, and meeting allot of them, as well as seeing allot of girls I knew on here.
I'm very proud of you girls, all of you. And the ones that are taking the risk to model. Not easy no matter who you are or what you look like or what type you do.
The fact the girls can get in front of a camera (which to me is like a stage in some ways) takes allot of courage..
And I for one am happy to see more diversity in the fetish modeling scene (ecspecialy in Atlanta)
It's really long over due. And I hope it continues, and this piece helps with that..
This piece is really good and a strong piece so far, and really portray's all involved very well, and I think it should be seen by a larger audience.

There is my comment and two cents:)

i was a part of that (even though you didn't see me) and the ladies are absolutely right. it does give you confidence, even if you don't have the "all American" standards for modeling. i am so glad i found this scene

Excellent!!! Beauty comes in various shapes and sizes and different things appeal to different people. The size of someone shouldn't exclude them from being sexy.

there is a tremendous opportunity to expand this concept to a reality based series that is a counterpoint to the current heroin chic paradigm of what is 'beauty'.

Probably 60% of normal sized US citizens would directly relate to the inspiration this short outlines.

As a producer, I see some real potential here!

This video was very informative and I liked it very much. It's great to see NORMAL size women on a photo shoot. Now all ya'll got to do is add some "color" in the mix.........I'll be completely happy!

love

The photoshoots in the graffitied alleyways strewn with trash are straight out of a SNL skit...but no..this is FOR REAL!

this is GREAT! Not just funny but informative and interesting.

Gil... you're the man !!! your the man!!!

Thank you so much for doing this... it turned out amazing, i was so suprised and happy... i seriously had tears in my eyes... i dont think you can truely understand what it means not only to me, but the S.O.K girls and prolly tons of others that may be a little too shy to step up and OWN who they are.... YOU ROCK BABY!!!!

What a great looking photographer, heh heh

Honestly, Gil did a fantastic job and I am extememly happy with how it came out.

I love my job.

That is a great video. Very informative, gives a great point of view, of a subject some people may know nothing about. Also, shines a positive light on plus size models. Which in my opinion is well needed.

Great work Gil! I'm very proud of this story, for us/for you. Almost made me cry!! heh. Can't wait to see this on the air *crosses fingers**

Great topic, good subjects, nicely shot. Congrats!
A suggestion: come straight out of the gate with your strongest stuff. For example, why not open with "It all started with me on my computer one night with my webcam on..."? To me, the women's comments about their transformation ("I own this!") and the family they are building is the center of this story--the photographer and his motivations are secondary. His commentary is strongest when he's talking about the women ("it's better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you aren't"). Personally, I would have used him to further the focus on the women, rather than as an equal balance.

Hopefully fetish Videography will catch on soon!
imagine all the fat goth chicks.! sexy and scary.

You go big mommes!!! Vote For Cock Fighting!!!!!

pretty good, but give me more shots of girls spanking each other and less talking.
