Director Statement

Saviors is a dreamy and voyeuristic invitation into the often misunderstood and taboo world of bondage. Saviors is meant to break down stigmas, and challenge the audience's preconceived notions of bondage and kink as a whole. I have found bondage to be incredibly healing. By inviting the audience into this intimate space, I want bondage to be seen as more than a stereotype or sexual kink; it is an art form of the senses, and is as much an exploration of the mind as it is of the body. Saviors offers a gentle and uncommon viewing experience of a Shibari scene between Dominatrix Azriel Black Wolf and myself.
