Atomic Cheesecake Productions is a film and photo production company in Philadelphia, PA. It was born back in the year 2006, founded by Ryan Suits while attending film school as a label they could affix to their developing aesthetic. Inspired by the avant-garde and the campy sexploitation flicks of the 60’s and 70’s, they looked at the current media landscape and saw a world full of crass commercialism, sarcastic nihilism, and post-ironic hipsterdom; a world lacking in effuse appreciation for whimsy, beauty, and joy. They set out to combine their love of the arthouse, campy, underground cinema with a modern take on the cheesecake pin-up aesthetic.
Today Ryan and their partner Jillian continue this vision. Through their photographic work they constantly experiment with new styles that evoke sensual, mystical, ethereal, and otherworldly visions.

“A Whore’s Bath” is an erotic fetish short featuring queer & trans sex workers Leo and Riley playing with water torture and drowning play in an outdoor tub. At the time it was made, the two were traveling on tour in California. They had been working together for over a year and had built a lot of trust in playing together intensely both on and off camera. The short is a window into one of the many dimensions of their personal kink lives and sexuality that they don’t typically get to show on camera, particularly without featuring explicit sex. While the film is deeply erotic in nature and Leo is fully nude throughout, there is no sexual activity in the film. It’s the trust and intensity of the water torture, Leo’s raw reactions, and Riley’s balance of cruelty and consideration that makes the scene so erotic.
Content Notes provided by filmmaker:
Face slapping, spraying with a hose, asphyxiation/light drowning, sounds of impact play (shrieking, yelling, slapping, punching).

Beyond Deep is comprised of a duo of multidisciplinary artists who spread love, empower and explode boundaries through their kinky, Black, queer media productions.
Our film is a re-imagining of the 1988 film, Dead Ringers. We center queer sexual and artistic sensibilities in this short, hypnotic film. Two latex-clad doctors begin to fuse vertiginously as they perform a procedure on a patient. As the tools they use become more sinister, one doctor grabs the anesthesia and attempts to dose themselves. The scene melts into a hazy hallucination of twinned bodies.

"The Crazy cat lady (reclaiming crazy) holds the power and carries the stigma. The Crazy cat lady knows what alternative family choices are, she cares and love, she fails as a woman in the intersection made by societal concepts of sexuality and mental health, she bears the weight of liberation. The Crazy cat lady has been gendered, but she doesn’t have one, she IS one. She lives with her kitties and she entertains herself in their lust."

"Hold your breath and dive deep into this ritualistic session with Empress Wu and her dirty girl Manon Praline.
After warming up with steady punches and kicks, they plunge into the art of waterboarding as a way to connect. Watch Empress Wu stretch Manon’s hole with her fingers, and pierce her skin with needles. The Empress fills Manon and presses on all these new pleasure holes until the two Femmes melt into each other, moaning in their carnal bath."

"The menstrual cycle has four phases, and abcde Flash has mastered them all. She’s learned to recognise each phase by their needs, weaknesses, and strengths.
From the oh-so-draining ovulation (a period of rest), to the absolute mind-fuckery of the luteal phase (social interactions can wait), she arrives at the follicular and menstruation phases, where creativity easily flows (and anything goes!).
'Grace.' is an ode to abcde Flash’s understanding of her cycle and herself. By accepting each phase for what it is, she’s transformed this never-ending experience of highs and lows into a most reliable routine: a cycle that, like clockwork, she knows she can count on."

EDIY is a deviant porn platform collectively built by restless minds and bodies. Our production seeks to reinvent and refresh sexual imaginaries: representations in traditional porn do not satisfy, neither represent us. We work through our desires, investigating our bodies and sharing our horniness. We seek for more, we want other ways of creating and consuming porn. And we want to bring a new squirt of pleasures to your screen.

"Break the flesh, unleash the spirit / the soul is feral / the body is meat.
As Mia Secreto (they/she) begins the ritual offering of their prostrated body, high priests Empress Wu (all pronouns) and Priestex (they/them) embrace the mortification of the flesh in a mouthy, wet, fisting, frenzy. Secreto’s siren call echoes from the depths, and Wu and Priestex are pulled to the limits of their self control as they consecrate Mia’s body in a ravenous frenzy with their fists, mouths, hands, and gaze. But who holds the power in this ritual? The apotheosis of the body reclaiming itself unlocks a force few mortals can withstand."

Raw meat, needle play, blood & blood play, squirting, hitachi use, fisting, ritual sacrifice.

I as a trans woman performer didn't see any real visibility of the way I was having sex so in part I wanted to create a film that does show how queer trans women have sex in a modern pop culture style film. The scene I'm submitting is a goth/music video/gangbang/orgy scene.
