Orgasm Inc.
February 2nd, 2010
We’re excited to report that Liz Canner’s documentary, Orgasm Inc., is finally getting some much deserved street cred! Back in September, we had the privilege of meeting the lovely filmmaker and her family when Orgasm Inc. premiered at the Roxy Cinema in Burlington, VT. Now it looks like orgasms and what women want are finally in fashion. Vogue picked up the story and featured an interview with Liz in last month’s issue.
And more good news–Orgasm Inc. is coming back to northern New England with screenings in Killington, VT; Keene, NH; and Portland, ME. Click here to see a full listing.
Synopsis:
In the shocking and hilarious documentary ORGASM INC., filmmaker Liz Canner takes a job editing erotic videos for a drug trial for a pharmaceutical company. Her employer is developing what they hope will be the first Viagra drug for women that wins FDA approval to treat a new disease: Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD). Liz gains permission to film the company for her own documentary. Initially, she plans to create a movie about science and pleasure but she soon begins to suspect that her employer, along with a cadre of other medical companies, might be trying to take advantage of women (and potentially endanger their health) in pursuit of billion dollar profits.
