Muscle is a new film distribution company with a heavy repertory slant from historian, programmer, and filmmaker Elizabeth Purchell. Borne out of an understanding of the role that accessibility plays in shaping cultural histories, Muscle is dedicated to complicating and expanding the canon by shining a light on works that either never received their proper due or that have unjustly faded into obscurity, and championing new works by some of today’s most exciting underground filmmakers. Muscle loves scrappy, misfit films that don’t fit into any particular box.

"Why would you do this on purpose?"

Castration Movie is a labyrinthine postmodern epic about gender. Anthology i. Traps includes two chapters. 

In Chapter i. Incel Superman, a production assistant named Turner Stewart (Noah Baker) sees his world spiral out of control as he uncompromisingly attempts to shape his life into the one he feels he deserves. In Chapter ii. Traps Swan Princess, a trans sex worker named Michaela “Traps” Sinclair (Louise Weard) finds her relationships becoming increasingly strained as she decides to pursue motherhood.

Written and directed by Louise Weard, Castration Movie Anthology i. Traps features a cast headlined by Louise Weard (Computer Hearts), Vera Drew (The People's Joker), Alice Maio Mackay (The Serpent’s Skin), Cricket Arrison (By Design), Avalon Fast (Camp), John Paizs (Crime Wave), Lea Rose Sebastianis (In a Violent Nature), and Nate Wilson (The All Golden) and an original soundtrack by Ravine Angel, Lex Walton, Magda Baker, and Salem Ahedonia.
