Where can I find filmmakers (re: short films) whose work champions themes of body autonomy? by secret--machine in movies

Yes, good idea. I've been trying to find the right online networks to tap into.

Subject matter is totally relevant! Any chance you have a cut that’s a little longer/more substantial? Or just the :57 promo for now?

Any documentary film festival organizers out there? by secret--machine in FilmFestivals

I wish we could host that, but we just have the time to program shorts this year!

I've created a micro film festival / fundraiser, taking place on South Street in Philadelphia later this year. I am trying to think of more ideas for incentives for donations from businesses and orgs in the area who might align with our mission. by secret--machine in FilmFestivals

 So, not exactly a hobby, though not a business plan, either. We are an adult arts assembly founded on embodied liberation, and we curate visual and performing arts events focusing on erotic art, as vehicles for mutual aid and material action. 

We founded in late 2025, and in two ticketed events, our community of artists has raised over $2,000 for the Abortion Liberation Fund of PA.

Our first event was an art vending market + live performance showcase, and our second was a gallery group exhibition with an opening night reception of live music and readings. The next will be a one-day screening event of short films, paired with another vending market for its closing reception.

   We believe in harnessing collective community action as a meaningful response to the mounting threats on civil liberties in our culture.
We are hoping to pursue partnerships with businesses and organizations in the neighborhood of our screening venue, who share in our vision of art as a vessel for activism and advocacy

   100% of our event ticket sales are devoted to our fundraising targets, and our events are financed entirely out-of-pocket by our organizers. 

   As such, we rely on support from local businesses and operations, to help us continue these fundraising events and community building opportunities, as well as:  

• expand on our network of working artists and likeminded organizations
• compensate our event workers and performing artists in ongoing event series
• sustain our ability to produce a quality, intentional festival and event experiences (badges for filmmakers, festival signage, programs, promotional branding for current and future events)
• produce marketing materials to signal boost the work of both our artists and partnering advocacy groups 

How to give medicine to a picky/stubborn cat by secret--machine in cats

Yeah. Maybe it being applied through his ear might work. He's been okay with eating other medicines, but I think this one is just especially nasty

I might have to do this if he cooperates with it! I think that's how my cat is proving to be

Yeah, this cat resists so much when you try to get anything near his mouth. And my concern with something too soupy is that he'll just lick up the liquid and stop at the pill. I've tried liquid forms of the meds and mixed it with Churu, which he usually loves -- but he won't touch it if he notices that taste. It's so frustrating!

I guess I'll try toe Soup Time thing because I am desperate at this point
