A special effects artist has revealed the extent of editing that takes place on women’s bodies in film and TV.
Sevan Najarian, who is interviewed in the new BBC documentary Sex on Screen, said that “most people on TV and film” get “beauty work” done to remove blemishes, freckles, wrinkles and pubic hair, and to have their bodies slimmed down.
He said that producers will often ask for women in their projects to be made to look younger, explaining that he does a lot of “cleaning up bags under the eyes and neck wrinkles”.
“There was a request that came from a client for me to remove a postnatal belly because this actor had just given birth,” Najarian said. “So that was a matter of taking her body, cutting it out, squeezing it and putting it right back in, and cleaning out the background wherever her belly would have been.

This review originally ran June 12, 2022, in conjunction with the film’s world premiere at the Tribeca Festival.
Over the last five years, society has gotten a crash course in Hollywood sexism. With Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor’s groundbreaking reporting on Harvey Weinstein came countless other stories of women’s mistreatment at the hands of producers, directors and even fellow actors.
Some of the most arresting stories along these lines come from crew members, like stunt coordinators who work on rape scenes. In her new documentary “Body Parts,” Kristy Guevara-Flanagan interviews actors, film and TV creators, and crew members who work behind the scenes to put sex onscreen.
Though the film overwhelmingly focuses on big names like Joey Soloway and Rose McGowan, its strongest material comes from accounts by less glitzy experts: body doubles, scholars, intimacy coordinators and one remorseful visual effects artist.
The film’s thesis is nothing new:...

They took the Seinfeld way out. Finish while you’re on top. And that they did. Today the series finale (above) of Atom’s long-running hit comedy The Legend of Neil hits the internet after a special screening in downtown Los Angeles last night. We knew this day was coming, and even counting down to it doesn’t make it any easier. This one goes way back for us at Tubefilter. For me, this is the end of an era in web series. Not that no one will ever center a comedy of 80’s pop references around a video game again—no it will happen—but this kind of all star team doesn’t exactly come around every day. Let’s not drop into full board comps to the gold medal winning 1992 Dream Team, but here’s a web series that has Felicia Day on its roster but equally touted...

Brothers Benny and Rafi Fine, fresh off the second episode of Prop. 8: The Web Series, are keeping busy with today’s bow of My Profile Story, a satirical look at the drama that can come from changing your No. 1 friend on social networking sites. The brothers wrote, directed, produced and appear in Mps and penned all the content on the microsite as well. The cast of Mps also includes faces familiar to fans of the Fine brothers: Lisa Schwartz and Kristin Findley. Mps was produced by Streamy Award nominees Leah Mann (The Guild) and Sevan Najarian (The Legend of Neil, The Pop) did the editing and visual effects.

You remember Popeye, right? Of Course you remember Popeye! But if you’re like me you don’t remember anything other than the spinach, Bluto, Wimpy and Olive Oyl. I don’t even remember any plot elements other than Bluto’s constant machinations to steal Olive away, and that he’d make a great Bear icon in the gay community. Well, none of that matters anymore because, courtesy of Channel 101, there’s a new Popeye in town and he’s coming to scrape your memory bowl clean. I don’t know if creator E.C. Seger ever had a foul-mouthed version of his Popeye The Sailor comic in mind when he first penned the classic in 1929, but that’s definitely the modern spin Sevan Najarian and Abed Gheith have put on The Pop (which is similar to the modern spin applied to the Mario Bros. in There Will Be Brawl...
