We're now at 75% with less than two weeks to go -- the goal is in sight, but we can't let up until we hit it... www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

It took Curt McDowell a full eight years to raise the $10k he needed to finish editing SPARKLE’S TAVERN, only to get hospitalized for AIDS within a year-and-a-half of its premiere — these are the kinds of intensely personal and intensely queer projects that have always been neglected

This one has been a passion project of mine for years — it took Curt eight years to get the funds to finish postproduction, only for it to barely get a release before his passing from AIDS. Our restoration will finally bring one of the best queer indie films of the 70s the audience it deserves...

I’ve programmed probably nearly a dozen screenings of this over the past couple of years, and it always gets an amazing crowd reaction — your support of this campaign will make it much easier for it to play more regularly and finally become available on digital + blu-ray.

low-key favorite aspect of the new @muscledistribution.bsky.social site is the screenings page -- feels crazy to see that we've got twenty different titles playing theatrically around the world over the next month

The weeklong Monika Treut retrospective at @anthologyfilm.bsky.social opens today! I’m super proud to be able to help bring these iconic films back into North American distribution — I think they’ll be a big discovery for people, so hope folks will come check some of them out.
