Gary Roberts from arm tv comments on the Pulling john
release on Northeastboard.com
"Pulling John.
I walk in. red carpet. giant screen. professional. the real deal. line of film fans. reporters. producers. directors. widest arrange of people outside of any sports world...about to sitdown and watch a movie on armwrestling. crowd files in picks their seat. people were not sure what they were about to witness...they didn't know a thing about John Brzenk. lights go down. movie rolls. a schoom schoom sound as the credits...directed by/ produced by.... THE MOVIE BEGINS.
there were many moments where the audience cheered and laughed. people who had never heard of the sport were getting into this. it was amazing to experience. There were out right moments of complete audience clapping. Movie ends, John Brzenk introduced. question and answers. One of the questions...do you have distribution yet? Morgan Spurlock of SuperSize Me immediately approaches John Brzenk..THAT WAS AWESOME..I NEVER KNEW.
A passerby whispers into Sevan Matossians' ear...this will win best film of the festival. A woman coming out "John Brzenk is my hero"
Another Festival reporter..."I am fifty two years old and I was getting into that...I would have never thought"
Many people approached me..." whats the website?" I want to know more.
It was an experience that can never be taken away. Watching it on DVD someday for someone you will be rewarding...but it won't be like this. What happened today was special. I just wish there was more of you there to experience it.
This was the real deal. I don't know what will come of this, but many people who know much more than I do about distribution process say. There is something here.
Good night."
