I had the pleasure of seeing this film at Toronto's International Film Festival in 2004. Not only was I impressed by the film, but so were the two guys I saw it with. "I'm a guy, and I feel empowered!" is what one of them said to Zoe as we scrambled after the Q&A session to get autographs. That is easiest way for me to sum up how that film made everyone I knew feel that saw it. It is a documentary that, because of it's pacing, feels like an action feature. This film was able to get across to the audience how truly important the role of a stunt double, female or otherwise, is. I would recommend this film to anyone and hope that it gets picked up soon for release onto DVD.
On a side note: Thank you to all the cast and crew my friends and I met at the film festival for being so kind and gracious to a group of flustered film students. Especially Amanda Micheli for giving us posters and letting us borrow her Sharpie.
