    Required Viewing for Anyone Training

    This short is amazing. It really struck a chord with me, and I am by no means a body builder.

    The experimental style of filmmaking lends itself superbly to the mental psyche of the lead, and the editing and music choices are all chaotic and purposeful. Loved the dark themes and backstory presented. And i felt emotional towards the story at certain points. Props to the dedication of the lead and the writer / director for creating such a personal and risky film.

    "Bodybuilding is like taking a psychedelic - whatever you've swept under the rug is going to come out"

    10/10 for this short. No complaints.
