 MINNESOTA MADE, DIRECTOR PRESENT</strong> </p>
<p>A journey into the world of erotic bondage to learn why people enjoy being tied up for sensual pleasure.</p>
<p>“In the course of making this documentary I met sadists, masochists, fetish divas, kinksters, sexologists, pain freaks, dominatrixes, nipple clamp salesmen, self-proclaimed perverts and even bondage furniture manufacturers.  The internet has blown the doors off this previously underground world. Annual fetish conventions and over 350 BDSM organizations across the U.S. educate anyone wanting to learn the ropes.  Many people now enjoy living this alternative lifestyle while others make a good living practicing it full-time.  But why do they enjoy being tied up for erotic pleasure?  What is it deep down in their psyche?  My film sets out to find an explanation.” — Tony Cane-Honeysett</p>
<p>A graduate of Ealing College of Art & Design in England, Tony Cane-Honeysett (director) was born and raised in London.  Formerly an advertising copywriter at Chiat Day and J. Walter Thompson, his previous work includes the Emmy Award-winning documentary ‘The Royal Academy’ (2005) broadcast on PBS.</p>

An interesting and

An interesting and thoughtful journey into the minds of others. The subject matter is startling at first, but by the end of the movie you won’t feel these people are so different from yourself whether you are an artist or a mountain climber. In fact, you may find discover most humans have a need to express themselves or explore their boundaries.

Fantastic filmmaking

I’d ditto the previous commenter’s take on the subject matter. I’d also add that the filmmaker was the perfect person to present this subject matter. He did so with a fresh and non-judgmental vision, and his sense of humor softened the edges of what turned out to be a serious story.

I hope he goes on to make documentaries about other difficult subjects.

THEATER | "White Sheep of the Family," a sharp farce at Theatre in the Round

You’re not going to find a stronger theater company in the Twin Cities than the Theatre in the Round Players, and they’ve done it again, mounting yet anotther first-rate production. The White Sheep of the Family, by L. du Garde Peach and Ian Hay, is a splendidly written, sharply directed, beautifully acted farce you’re going to rush home and tell family, friends—pretty much anyone who’ll listen—all about.
