Programmer's Pick

Only in 1960s Greenwich Village could an artist’s marital bliss depend on a steady stream of nude models. Artist Studio Secrets is less about technique and more about the art of keeping things undraped—and just awkward enough.

Overview

Set in bohemian Greenwich Village, Artist Studio Secrets orbits the curious world of an artist whose creative process is intimately entwined with nudity—at least according to his wife. Taking matters into her own hands, she guarantees that every model arriving at his studio is ready to shed their inhibitions (and everything else). This independent 'nudie cutie' balances playful humor with sly social observation, peering into the eccentricities of artists and their muses. The film’s tone is light and cheeky, poking gentle fun at marital dynamics and the shifting boundaries of art and propriety in the 1960s. Expect a parade of modeling mishaps and comedic misunderstandings, delivered with a winking sense of mischief.
