Get teased with a lil bit of The Sex Machine

The Poetry in These Publicity Stills

Reading through Vera Pavlova's book of poetry, If There Is Something To Desire, I couldn't help but notice that we have the perfect visual compliment to her poems right here in the pictures of our short.  More synergy.

VI

Within a hand's reach from the foreskin

is fleshlessness, dense, resonant, boundless.

Touching, because of its nature, takes part

in the mystery of disembodiment.

I am rid of the body, but the shiver stays,

and so do the pain, the joy.

The shiver, the pain, the joy have no fear

that the skin might never reappear.

A beast in winter,

a plant in spring,

an insect in summer,

a bird in autumn.

The rest of the time I am a woman.

Do you know what you lacked?

That dose of contempt without which

you cannot flip a woman on her back

to make her flounder like a turtle,

to make the heartless fool realize:

she cannot flip back on her own.

I feel

your flesh so full

in me,

that I do not feel it

at all

on top of me.

Is all of you

within me,

a thing-in-me?

Or is all of you

outside of me,

and only seems to be?

Why is the word yes so brief?

It should be

the longest,

the hardest,

so that you could not decide in an instant to say it,

so that upon reflection you could stop

in the middle of saying it.

Explore Body, Bring Self to Orgasm

In Feb. 2012, while we were filming The Sex Machine, Women's Health magazine published this article. Synergy?!?

New Poll: Music Choices for the Big Finish in The Sex Machine?!

Listen to the songs below and choose which one you like the most to end The Sex Machine with a big bang.  And then please voice your opinion with an answer in the poll to the left and make more suggestions in the comments section below.  "Gracias... muchas gracias."

Disclaimer: I will not be held accountable if you start dancing and break a hip or snap a neck when you play these songs.



Dramedy it is!

Our little informal poll showed that a majority preferred Dramedy as their genre when offered a choice between Comedy, Action, Drama, Dramedy and Dractionamedy.  What is a Dractionamedy? Not sure, but like Justice Potter Stewart said about hard-core pornography, "[it's] hard to define, but...  I know it when I see it." 

Anyways, I'm just happy The Sex Machine is a Dramedy.

Greetings! Salutations! Welcome!

Thank you for visiting the blog for the dramedy short, "The Sex Machine."  My name is Danny Indio and I'm the writer-director of The Sex Machine which is about the power of desire and how it can strengthen or hurt a couple's relationship.  We shot it on a Canon 5D with a wonderfully talented cast and crew which I hope you get to know and follow through this blog.  Our main goal with this short is to get into major film festivals, entertain audiences and use it as a gateway to tell more enlightening and engaging stories.
