People needed: Fat Folks.
Are you a confident fat queer? Are you a bear? A chubby chaser? Do you love fat femmes? Do you love being a fat femme? Do you flaunt your size? Are you a fat burlesque performer? A juicy drag queen? A Big Poppa drag king?
If so, then we are looking for you.

Subcutaneous Phat productions is in search of participants for an in-production portion of a documentary called Fat, Fat Tuesday (working title). The film's main goal is to contrast perspectives on fat acceptance/fat pride/fat phobia between mainstream and outsider communities. This portion of the project will explore the way that fat people are viewed, and the perspectives of fat people (self-identified fat men, women (transgendered and non transgendered) and intersexed people) in queer communities. We will be choosing 3people to follow in life for a segment of the film and several for interviews on their experiences. We are also seeking fat members of various leather and SM related communities.

We are now looking for 10 people within the following categories:
Bears/ Chub Chasers / Self-identified fat queer people (that means you!)/ fat femmes/ those who love fat femmes/ butches/ lesbians/ gay men/bisexual men/ bisexual women/ fat admirers/fat queer performers/ chunky, large, curvy, fat, big boned, thick, juicy, substantial, meaty LGBTIQQA people.
Age: 18 - 45
Male, female, genderqueer, intersexed
All Ethnicities
Who are willing to deal with some of the following issues:
• Experience being fat and queer, changes you've encountered
• Navigating between queer and non-queer communities as a person of size; differences between the two
• Acceptance of fat/discrimination/Body stories
• Losing weight
•Fat pride both in and out of queer communities
• Performance space/audience/acceptance as a fat queer performer

We are interested in those who are comfortable with their bodies and those who are still struggling but have an interesting story to tell. We need you! Whether you feel that you are outgoing or introverted, we are searching for people who diverse and have something to say about body size, perception and culture. If you feel that's you, please send a photo and a brief biography along with a short statement indicating why you'd like to participate.
