Kim Wood directed a short film called On My Knees, “Inspired by the secret diaries of Victorian fetishist and ‘maid-of-all-work’ Hannah Cullwick.” It stars Melora Creager (lead of my favorite historically-inspired cello goth-rock band, Rasputina), who also wrote the score.
There’s a two minute clip on the website here: http://kimwood.org/film

I can’t seem to find the full 13 minutes of this film anywhere, and I’d be curious to see it. Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to find this?

(Still no luck, but in the meantime, here’s something silly, somewhat related to maids and advertisement!)
