My Body is Not Obscene (2021): Documentary examines Nashville model and photographer Nina Covington, and her continual pursuit of increasing understanding and acceptance of artistic nudity, body positivity, and women's empowerment.
In a society where the naked body is deemed more obscene than violence, a shift in perspective is most definitely needed.—Jason O'Brien
Previously saw Cuddle (2014) by Writer & Director Jason O'Brien:
'I know we just met, but will you hold me?' Cuddle parties, snuggle houses, cuddle therapy... from Alabama to Colorado to San Francisco to Wisconsin and to New York, the cuddling movement is growing bigger and bigger and faces an uphill climb in mainstream acceptance.
This new documentary explores this revolutionary trend in restoring basic human needs in a world where human touch seems to happen less and less.

Really wanna see this film CUDDLE ME.
In early 2019, filmmaker Jason O'Brien was dealing with a great deal of personal stress and heartbreak. He had divorced his wife of 23 years the previous year, alienated his daughter because of the divorce, and had recently seen the end of a 2 1/2 year relationship with a woman who he thought he was meant to be with forever.
At one of the darkest times of his life, he remembered how during a previous stressful time of his life, his journeys to make his documentary film Cuddle ended up saving his life.
He felt there was more to say about the cuddle movement in the years since the first film, and bravely turned the camera around on himself to document a very painful and personal journey to heal.
The brand new documentary "Cuddle Me" (2021) picks up after the introduction of the cuddle services in the first film, and shows one person's journey of healing that can be had in one of the most talked about and controversial human movements ever.
