Hi All,
As you may have seen, Ariel and I are organising a British Fetish Film Festival: http://www.britishfetishfilmfestival.co.uk.
We’ve got the “zeroth” festival coming up in a couple of weeks, a dry run with a bunch of other producers and crew.
I’ve been looking at so many other people’s films in the run up to this event that I’ve lost all shreds of objectivity about our own work.
So I thought I’d ask you which Restrained Elegance/Elegance Studios film we should show. The audience is kinky, but not necessarily into exactly the same things as we are. If you had to pick an RE film for that sort of crowd, which one would you show?
(N.B. we don’t have to send the same film to the “real” festival- that’ll be a different poll later in the year!)
Here’s a list of ones I was considering. My criteria were that it shouldn’t be too old (although the action may have been hot, I want something that is also representative of what we’re doing technically now), it should have a good story with some distinct characters in it, it should move at a good clip, and ideally should have been highly rated by RE members.
If you think I’ve missed out the perfect one to send, do post and let me know!
Cheers, Hywel.

Hi Ariel, Hi Hywel,
I wish you well with the film festival. Obviously a big job. If I had to vote only on the current list of videos shown as choices I would probably select the “Slave Auction” one. However, I’m going “off the menu” as it were and suggesting a combined version of the “Sammie’s Bondage Romance”. My reasoning for that selection is that it touches on a wide variety of the different aspects of bondage fetish and fantasy. Self bondage, bondage in public, being tied up as a surprise for one’s lover, a bit of S/M with the hot wax, a kinky kidnapping and others are all touched on by the various parts of the story. Just my two cents. Hope all is well.
Cheers for New Jersey,
Jeff
