Billy Jack Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) I happened to catch it on IFC about 6-8 months ago. It is a nicely made film. It focuses mainly on braced bending with very little of other styles mentioned. The main character, Chris Schoeck, wants to become an old-time strongman bender and enlists the help of Chris Rider. It does a wonderful job of portraying the sickness that is the bending lifestyle, ie: Chris Schoeck spends endless hours chasing the dream and constantly thinking about bending a bar that eludes him over and over again. Not a raw, emotional film like "Strongman", but a more direct, business-like feel to the film. Edited August 3, 2015 by Billy Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I was a sponsor for the movie, so I got an advanced copy a few years ago. The movie is somewhat dramatized, but has some nice material with Chris Rider, Slim the Hammer Man, and it finishes up at Coney Island. There is not really anything specific to unbraced bending, but it's enjoyable to watch, and if it had got more airtime with the public I think we'd see more people getting into bending.

anwnate Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Anton Torrella and I were lucky enough to see a showing at Coney Island and meet both Chris's. They were extremely approachable and ended up chatting with us for like an hour and a half. I really enjoyed the movie...got a Rocky-esque pump out of it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
