I Want Muscle


Fashion filmakers are definitely evolving rapidly and the following film, awarded with the 2011 ASVOFF MK2 Grand Prix is the proof. Directed by Elisha Smith-Leverock, the film titled I Want Muscle is dealing with the traditional conception of the female body form with the surprising appearance of British bodybuilder Kizzy Vaines. Fantastic direction in a glam 70's aesthetic, gorgeous styling and a great concept.

Enjoy:
