Papa Squat Productions

Papa Squat Productions We combine scrappy filmmaking roots and expert storytelling to create economical, compelling films.

Papa Squat Productions was started by LeeAnne Lowry and Josh Boyer in 2022 with the production of the short film The Treadmill Switcher. Josh and LeeAnne continue to work on creative projects as well as create videos for hire. Papa Squat maintains a core value established with The Treadmill Switcher: a positive, healthy set is the top priority. By putting people first, we are able to create higher quality films and a more sustainable independent filmmaking community.

D*ck Measuring Contest had a sweet little festival run, gaining some devoted fans and even winning us a very heavy, honestly dangerous trophy.

You'll be able to watch from that scary little device in your pocket (or from your desktop if you are OLD) on February 19.

Are you ready? Probably not. That's why we're giving you a little time to get your affairs in order, set up a watch party with all your d*cks, and of course — dig the tape measure out from wherever you left it.

The Treadmill Switcher is finally available to watch online!

A woman who—like everyone else at her gym—walks on the same treadmill every day is fascinated by a person with a unique workout routine. When that person switches treadmills and runs directly next to the woman, she begins questioning their destiny in her life and the monotony of her own routine.

The Treadmill Switcher was written and directed by LeeAnne Lowry as an exploration of gender on screen. Lowry utilized both their feminist film theory education and personal experiences as an androgynous human to examine the role of women on screen, and what happens when gender becomes unclear.

In two days we release this film into the great beyond. This is not goodbye. No, no. Perhaps it is just the beginning. Perhaps the YouTube premiere is the moment of access that the public has been craving. It could be the moment that heals us all.

I guess we'll find out.

The Treadmill Switcher has had a fantastic 2-year theatrical run. We have traveled all across the country with this film, and you have have shown up at every stop. Thank you to all our friends in St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, New York and beyond. We may never know if you are children or le****ns. But one thing is for sure: we are the victim.

If you have no idea what the heck that meant, we implore you: watch the film when it is released on Youtube this Friday.
