Obscene Beauty
“New York neo-burlesque: Titillate. Tantalize. Tease.”
Synopsis
OBSCENE BEAUTY dives into the NYC Neo-Burlesque scene — its history, impact, and players. As an exploration of sexuality, culture, comedy and art, the documentary follows performers within the community and examines how they utilize their three minutes on stage as a platform for their own socio-political commentary. Through a night of performance, OBSCENE BEAUTY explores the raw artistry and self-expression of a genre that has been able to withstand the test of time.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 16
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
