“want is a multi-layered video exploring the topic of sex and disability.  There are few videos that deal with this topic, fewer that delve into the world of explicit sexual representation, and still fewer that do so from a queer perspective.  In want I use sexually explicit images and everyday moments showing people with disabilities as not just sexual but as sexy.  In exploring the question  “what is sexy?” I reframe sites of shame as sites of pride and resistance (personal care relationships, bodies that challenge mainstream notions of beauty and desirability, queer sex, vulnerability, gender transgression, etc).  I also suggest unspoken benefits to accessible spaces (i.e. big bathrooms with grab bars) and show them not only as locations of necessity but also as places of pleasure.  By posing a complicated, insightful, honest, and sexy image of disability and queerness, this piece works to combat the stigma, fear, and shame that contribute to the desexualization and devaluation of people with disabilities and bodily-based oppression in general.  This films seeks to stimulate.”

I so “want” to see this film.
