About this project
We are making a documentary about the revolution currently happening in women's arm wrestling. Started in the sleepy college town of Charlottesville, Virginia, The Collective of Lady Arm Wrestlers, or CLAW, is spreading like wildfire; with sister branches in Brooklyn, Hudson Valley, New Orleans, Charlottesville, Washington DC, Durham, Taos, and Chicago. Part Theater, part sports event, all crazy, CLAW draws enormous crowds with all proceeds going to support local charities.
We have been photographing and filming CLAW since its humble beginnings in 2008, and want to raise travel money so we can continue to film CLAW as it spreads across America.
Thanks,
Billy Hunt and Brian Wimer

Brian Wimer studied drama at Yale. After an extended segue into the ad world (where he gave voice to Taco Bell chihuahuas) he returned to his roots in the entertainment industry with the low-budget cult film Eat Me: The Musical. He has since won over thirty independent film awards, and been invited to more festivals than he currently cares to count.
