Beauty is Imperfection

As I get older, I stop feeling very enthusiastic about milestones. But having said that, I find myself feeling very chuffed that my film “S&M Queen For A Day” recently reached 100,000 views on YouTube.

Maybe it’s just because the letters “S” and “M” are in the title that it’s so popular. Maybe it’s that I’ve found myself the inadvertent darling of some BDSM/fetish communities. But I don’t care. After two years, I’m still very proud of this little existential short piece–which is not merely a film about bondage but about people coming to grips with their identity when they don’t know who they really are. This short launched my foray into a new medium. Two years on, I still think I did good. I hope you agree.
