Back in 1953, American photographer Bob Mizer began making short physique films to supplement his growing photo studio called Athletic Model Guild. These films, and the thousands that would follow, would eventually become the largest archive of moving images by a single artist in the world. The films range from posing films to short story and fantasy films to full length features by the 1970s. They span genres from westerns to sci-fi to teen melodramas to wrestling with characters ranging from gladiators, bandits, scientists, doctors, magicians, to juvenile delinquents. Within a few years from his launch, he had his own Hollywood type studio system, and created a demand for beefcake films that hundreds of other photographers would soon copy.
This project will produce a series of 10 DVD compilations to become part of the Bob Mizer Foundation Film Archive, by digitizing and remastering a number of films that will equal approximately 15 hours of footage, about 90 minutes per DVD. This will create new permanent master digital negatives for the Foundation, and also make these films available to the public for the first time in decades.

Images from the Athletic Model Guild magazine Physique Pictorial, dated from the pre-nude years. Part 1.
Up until the first full-frontal nudes were published in Physique Pictorial in 1968/1969, the publisher had to stick as close as possible to the law,although the use of the skimpy posing pouches allowed for very little to remain hidden, while remaining within the law. These early images feature no full nudity.

This is part 4 of a compilation of images, mostly taken from the magazine Physique Pictorial. Also included are some of the colour images by AMG. Some of the images have been censored for public viewing. The final edition of Physique Pictorial was published in 1990, and founder Bob Mizer died in 1992.
As it is now probably impossible to gather together every one of the magazines, I would recommend a reprint of the entire of the Physique Pictorial magazines. Titled "Physique Pictorial, The Complete Reprint", it was printed in 1997, by Taschen, and includes over 2500 pages of every magazine, from 1951 to 1990. The black and white reprint is presented in 3 hardcover volumes, in a box. Vol 1 & 2 are the era of posing pouches and discretion, while Vol 3 is the era in which it became legal to show full-frontal nudity. The reprint is now out of print, but still available on many used book sites, and there are new copies available as well, such as on ebay. Original issues of Physique Pictorial are also widely available on ebay. Shop around carefully, as it often pays to buy a single-sale lot of the old magazines in one go, rather than individually.

The bulk of photographer Bob Mizer's estate was unceremoniously thrown in the dumpster in 1992 after he died in Los Angeles. Fifty-year-old boxes of correspondence, studio props and personal artifacts from one of America's most controversial artists are gone forever. Luckily the core of his life's work, consisting of about one million photographic negatives and thousands of 16mm films and videotapes, survived this irresponsible action and was boxed up and locked in storage for the next decade.
Now that is where you come in. Together, we can get proper archival storage materials and save it!

This portrait of the man who brought nude male flesh into the American mainstream combines present-day interviews, archival footage, and semi-fictionalized dramatization into a cinematic hybrid. Photographer and filmmaker Bob Mizer (Daniel MacIvor) founded the Athletic Model Guild, or AMG, in Los Angeles in 1945, hoping to turn his fascination with the male physique into a successful business that used nude and semi-nude photographs to sell the services of models to painters and the like. When the photos themselves proved more lucrative than the non-existent modeling contracts, Mizer launched Physique Pictorial. The magazine ostensibly offered bodybuilding tips and moral guidance to young men the world over, but in reality its clientèle included legions of gay men eager for eye candy. With the help of his mother and business partner, Delilah (Carroll Godsman), Mizer parlayed his magazine, short films, and other work into a palatial residence/studio where young men fresh off the bus from Nowheresville could frolic, crash, and earn a little cash in front of the camera (or on the casting couch). Occasional run-ins with the law and stints in prison couldn't deter Mizer from continuing his photography until his death in the early '90s. His models, contemporaries, and associates included bodybuilding proponent Jack LaLane and future Warhol superstar Joe Dallesandro, who are among the many men interviewed by filmmaker Thom Fitzgerald. The writer/director/producer intersperses his dramatic and documentary sequences with plenty of actual AMG and Physique Pictorial images. The film's narrative arc, however, focuses on the fictionalized character of novice model Neil E. O'Hara (Joshua Peace), who serves as a stand-in for the audience as he acclimates himself to Mizer's campy, flesh-filled compound and witnesses the photographer's betrayal by another model, Red (Jack Griffin Mazeika). Beefcake was inspired by F. Valentine Hooven III's book Beefcake: The Muscle Magazines of America, 1950-1970. The scenes of Mizer's trial for pandering were based on transcripts of the real-life Red's courtroom testimony. The character name Neil E. O'Hara, of course, is a joking reference to Neely O'Hara, the ingénue character from Valley of the Dolls.

Beefcake (1999) is a docu-drama homage to the muscle magazines of the 1940s, '50s, and '60s—in particular, Physique Pictorial magazine, published quarterly by Bob Mizer of the Athletic Model Guild. It was inspired by a picture book by F. Valentine Hooven III (published by Taschen) and was directed by Thom Fitzgerald.

The Athletic Model Guild, or AMG, was founded by gay pornography pioneer Bob Mizer in December 1945. During those post-war years, United States censorship laws allowed women, but not men, to appear in various states of undress in what were referred to, with a wink, as “art” photographs. Mizer began his business by taking pictures of men that he knew, both gay and straight. His subjects would often pose for pictures, which, while ostensibly meant to illustrate fitness tips and the like, were clearly produced and published as homoerotic material.
A majority of the early AMG films and photos were ambiguously sexual in nature. The formula consisted of images (moving and still) of young men doing bodybuilding poses, or perhaps wrestling in pairs. Often the setup or “plot” of these shoots was fairly absurd and just served to provide a thin legal pretext for the display of the male physique.
Mizer did appear in court to face several charges over the years, including obscenity, drug use, and prostitution. Allegedly, Mizer's AMG models would sometimes make a little extra money “renting” themselves out, but Mizer argued vigorously that it was not his business what they did on their own time. Despite some legal setbacks, AMG survived its many trials.

Up until the first full-frontal nudes were published in Physique Pictorial in 1968/1969, the publisher had to stick as close as possible to the law,although the use of the skimpy posing pouches allowed for very little to remain hidden, while remaining within the law. These early images feature no full nudity.

This is part 4 of a compilation of images, mostly taken from the magazine Physique Pictorial. Also included are some of the colour images by AMG. Some of the images have been censored for public viewing. The final edition of Physique Pictorial was published in 1990, and founder Bob Mizer died in 1992.
As it is now probably impossible to gather together every one of the magazines, I would recommend a reprint of the entire of the Physique Pictorial magazines. Titled "Physique Pictorial, The Complete Reprint", it was printed in 1997, by Taschen, and includes over 2500 pages of every magazine, from 1951 to 1990. The black and white reprint is presented in 3 hardcover volumes, in a box. Vol 1 & 2 are the era of posing pouches and discretion, while Vol 3 is the era in which it became legal to show full-frontal nudity. The reprint is now out of print, but still available on many used book sites, and there are new copies available as well, such as on ebay. Original issues of Physique Pictorial are also widely available on ebay. Shop around carefully, as it often pays to buy a single-sale lot of the old magazines in one go, rather than individually.

The bulk of photographer Bob Mizer's estate was unceremoniously thrown in the dumpster in 1992 after he died in Los Angeles. Fifty-year-old boxes of correspondence, studio props and personal artifacts from one of America's most controversial artists are gone forever. Luckily the core of his life's work, consisting of about one million photographic negatives and thousands of 16mm films and videotapes, survived this irresponsible action and was boxed up and locked in storage for the next decade.
Now that is where you come in. Together, we can get proper archival storage materials and save it!

This portrait of the man who brought nude male flesh into the American mainstream combines present-day interviews, archival footage, and semi-fictionalized dramatization into a cinematic hybrid. Photographer and filmmaker Bob Mizer (Daniel MacIvor) founded the Athletic Model Guild, or AMG, in Los Angeles in 1945, hoping to turn his fascination with the male physique into a successful business that used nude and semi-nude photographs to sell the services of models to painters and the like. When the photos themselves proved more lucrative than the non-existent modeling contracts, Mizer launched Physique Pictorial. The magazine ostensibly offered bodybuilding tips and moral guidance to young men the world over, but in reality its clientèle included legions of gay men eager for eye candy. With the help of his mother and business partner, Delilah (Carroll Godsman), Mizer parlayed his magazine, short films, and other work into a palatial residence/studio where young men fresh off the bus from Nowheresville could frolic, crash, and earn a little cash in front of the camera (or on the casting couch). Occasional run-ins with the law and stints in prison couldn't deter Mizer from continuing his photography until his death in the early '90s. His models, contemporaries, and associates included bodybuilding proponent Jack LaLane and future Warhol superstar Joe Dallesandro, who are among the many men interviewed by filmmaker Thom Fitzgerald. The writer/director/producer intersperses his dramatic and documentary sequences with plenty of actual AMG and Physique Pictorial images. The film's narrative arc, however, focuses on the fictionalized character of novice model Neil E. O'Hara (Joshua Peace), who serves as a stand-in for the audience as he acclimates himself to Mizer's campy, flesh-filled compound and witnesses the photographer's betrayal by another model, Red (Jack Griffin Mazeika). Beefcake was inspired by F. Valentine Hooven III's book Beefcake: The Muscle Magazines of America, 1950-1970. The scenes of Mizer's trial for pandering were based on transcripts of the real-life Red's courtroom testimony. The character name Neil E. O'Hara, of course, is a joking reference to Neely O'Hara, the ingénue character from Valley of the Dolls.
