For immediate release – January 15, 2006
San Francisco, CA – The best selling manual for open relationships, The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities, has been licensed to Little Taoist Films, to be made into an independent feature film, with principal photography slated to begin in summer 2007.
Authored by Dossie Easton and Catherine A. Liszt, the book is a groundbreaking explication of the hows and whys of responsible non-monogamy and open sexuality. Published by Greenery Press in 1997, the book has become a blockbuster by small-publishing standards, with more than 75,000 copies in print. The phrase "ethical slut" was coined in the book as a term for an individual open to the possibility of sustainable polyamory. It has become part of common parlance, with more than 60,000 Google hits, its own Wikipedia entry, and its own OKCupid "ethical slut" test.
Moses Ma, writer/director of the forthcoming film, explains, “I’ve been excited about the ideas in the book ever since I first picked it up. The book offers a simple yet truly liberating lesson, that honesty is the best policy when it comes to the foibles of sexuality and modern relationships. Little Taoist Films is dedicated to making the kind of movies that change people’s thinking, and this film is a great place for such a transformative process to begin.”
The film, also titled The Ethical Slut, will be a romantic comedy that follows the adventures of a conventionally reared Midwesterner as he moves to San Francisco and encounters unconventional sexuality. It will be filmed as a visual homage to the beauty of San Francisco, and will take advantage of new technologies for digital imaging and post production. Craig Pruess, the noted film composer for “Bend it Like Beckham” and “Bride and Prejudice,” who is attached to participate, adds, “It is through spirited projects like these that the promise of independent film can be fulfilled. When movies and music come from the heart, magic can happen.”
