We're halfway through our campaign and have raised.... 69%... of our goal. Would really appreciate any help sharing + giving to help our small, 100% independent trans-owned distribution company restore these four films. More here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

The next goal is to hit 400(!) pledges--and they are so close! It could be met today if you share the link with other fans of LGBTQ history, indie film fiends, people who want to support trans artists and trans-run projects. Every bit helps. Take 2 minutes: www.muscle-distribution.com/kickstarter

One of the backer rewards here is a Muscle Distribution sleeveless that looks sick as hell.

If muscle gets over $45k today I’ll post full bush

right now they're at 69 percent (nice) -- your support can genuinely get them to 75 percent today be 😎 cool 🆒 and pledge today: www.muscle-distribution.com/kickstarter

Our @kickstarter.com fundraising campaign is now officially at the halfway point… but we’re still 30% away from hitting our goal. Give us a spot. Help us restore four long-unseen and long-unavailable films. More info at: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

If every single one of my followers dropped like $10 (or more!) into this phenomenal and important Kickstarter, then Muscle would be right at the finish line, so this is me begging anyone who can support to support. We all deserve to have these films restored and released.

Donate to this. I did.

An excerpt from a preview of PUMPING IRON II: THE WOMEN from Sleek Physique magazine. We’ve got just 16 days to raise $20,000 to successfully end our Kickstarter, which will allow us to finish restoring PUMPING IRON II and three other films. Find out more here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

Muscle are doing essential, important work. They're at the vanguard of what's hot in queer cinema rn, and they are in the process of restoring four important films and they need our help. PUMPING IRON II: THE WOMEN is an all time favorite of mine & is among the films being restored

For my birthday today you should contribute to @muscledistribution.bsky.social’s fundraiser because I want to see these movies!!!!

Look not to be corny, but when I last checked, @muscledistribution.bsky.social genuinely needed about 1776 dollars to cross the 40K mark and I think there are worse ways to rebuild the America you want etc etc etc. plus there's great perks and I think it's just cool to be cool. So be cool!

But seriously, I am asking you to support a trans-run business and independent filmmaking--two things to genuinely celebrate this weekend. They're at that crucial 2/3 hump (if you've done fundraising, you know that crawwwwwwl from ~65 to 75 percent) and you can get them through it quickly. Thanks!

Maybe Independence Day is itself a bust, but I'm asking you to focus instead on supporting independent film--its history, creation, and community-building power--by backing @muscledistribution.bsky.social's Kickstarter. Do it for the perks alone! Pledge here: www.muscle-distribution.com/kickstarter

What @kierlajanisse.bsky.social said! @muscledistribution.bsky.social is putting in the work.

19 days left for @muscledistribution.bsky.social to raise another 30K to support this restoration initiative - theirs is a pretty reasonable ask for 4 long-unavailable films + helps a trans-owned company stay afloat while doing important cultural/archival work - www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

This can easily sail past the 2/3 point TODAY with just a few pledges. It's too hot to attempt being outdoors--why not make like hundreds of other indoors kids have and support this today?

My friend Syd restored one of these movies, donate if you can and share pls!

give if u can!!!!

Again. This is really cool work. Go back the kickstarter. Get a tshirt or a copy of Castration Movie on bluray.

Me, asking you to pledge to the @muscledistribution.bsky.social Kickstarter so they can get across the finish line soon

OFF THE WALL looks very interesting

This is great work. Also, l cannot keep up with all the companies appearing now that are doing film restoration.

Here’s some comparisons between the 2005 DVD release of SCREAMPLAY and our raw 4K scan of the 16mm original. We can only finish restoring this and three other rare films with your support — we’re still 40% away from hitting our goal: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

Finally put my money where my mouth is and supported this! All of these movies deserve a proper restoration but my soft spot is for Screamplay 💕

If you care about American indie films or gay film history, you should support this--it's already 60 percent of the way there, and it would be amazing to see this wrap up soon. Thanks.

So grateful to @muscledistribution.bsky.social for being amazing partners in making sure Castration Movie will exist forever on physical media

Limited edition MIKEY AND NICKY 50th anniversary t-shirts are now available at @filmlinc.bsky.social and through our Kickstarter fundraising campaign. Design by Misc en Scene. Check out our Kickstarter here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

Our new Blu-ray edition of @weard.moe’s CASTRATION MOVIE ANTHOLOGY II. THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS is out this month and is now available for preorder: vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/...

I just donated, I'd recommend also donating if you can because this Kickstarter still has a long way to go.

Our campaign is now an official @kickstarter.com ~Project We Love~ We’re 50% of the way towards our goal in a little over a week, but there’s still a ways to go — here’s the link to check out the campaign and help support: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

Tickets now on sale for THE FIREWORKS WOMAN - Friday, July 17 at the Beacon Cinema, Seattle. New restoration of the Wes Craven, experimental adult film from 1975! thebeacon.film/calendar/mov... @muscledistribution.bsky.social

This hit 50% today! Keep it moving folks

In fact here's another one! Make it happen y'all

"Oh Keegan, is there a graphic that I can share out on social media?" You bet there is. Make it happen! Also if you're asking about the label--it's because bluesky auto mods keep flagging a film still. So even more reason to spread the word

literally one pledge from crossing the CRUCIAL halfway mark and if you make that happen tonight I will personally [redacted for family viewers]

We’re restoring Curt McDowell’s long-unseen THUNDERCRACK! follow-up SPARKLE’S TAVERN, which has rarely played theatrically and has never been released on any home video format — but we can only do it with your support. Check out our Kickstarter campaign: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

RTing this campaign because it’s good, & also bcz this cockeyed goof-ass app tagged a post from the campaign’s creator as “self-harm” bcz of a film screencap in the post showing an actor putting a gun to their head

A really cool project of queer film preservation.

One week in and we’re so close to hitting 50% — thanks to everyone who has given + shared so far. Here’s the link: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

I'm not saying being able to get a blu of Pumping Iron II: The Women will fix the timeline, but I'm not not saying that.

Please support this wonderful company’s wonderful project

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...

The home video releases have been very high quality thus far, the material has always relied on community and physical media (going back to celluloid), and this seems like an excellent way to support a variety of things at once.

As Pride winds down, I'm asking you to support work that builds community year-round, for both artists and audiences. @muscledistribution.bsky.social has revitalized the art people need--and they're looking to do even more. I'm asking you to help create the spaces you need and deserve. Thanks.

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.

Pumping Iron 2 is fantastic and you should support the effort to restore and preserve this fantastic piece of history.

“A story of strength, desire, courage... and a new definition of woman." We’re thrilled to be working to restore the underrated and underseen PUMPING IRON II: THE WOMEN — but we can only do it with your support. Find out more here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

Happy Pride! My latest substack is not just a review of John Early's very good <Maddie's Secret>; it's also an unabashed plug for you to chip in to @muscledistribution.bsky.social's Kickstarter! That's right: I'm doing themed content, baby! Support trans people working in film! Open your purse!
