This was SO well done. Thank you guys so much for making this film!
What a cool picture for the project profile. Instantly grabbed my attention. I grew up on wrestling, but I am more into MMA now.
I am honored to be a part of such a cool documentary. can't wait to see it on the big screen!
I would be interested in donating my time to help with your project if needed, shooting, editing, design, it's possible for me to travel to get together on this too, just let me know. I just signed up to comment on here, I haven't set anything up on here I can show you my work, hope it works out for you all. Sounds Good!
My GREAT-GRANDMOTHER has been a fan of Memphis wrestling since my mom was a kid. I just got a text from my cousin a couple of weeks ago "You should see grandmother commentating the wrestling match on the couch"...she's over 80 years old! Every Saturday morning, she watches faithfully.
