Looks like Kickstarter is here to stay, folks, and the latest notable local project posted to the fundraising website is a film by Brian Wimer and Billy Hunt "about the revolution currently happening in women’s arm wrestling." They’re talking about CLAW, of course, the organization that started as the Charlottesville Lady Arm Wrestlers that’s now metastasizing to cities nationwide under the Collective of Lady Arm Wrestlers banner. (Read all about CLAW here and here.)
Hunt is a local photographer and Wimer a filmmaker behind a rash of zombie activities (including the Danger.Zombies.5k.Run). The pair, who have photographed CLAW since its beginnings, is looking to raise a total of $5,000 over the course of about a month to bankroll an adventure that will allow them to document the spread of the lady arm wrestling phenomenon.
Check out their pitch below, with lots of great CLAW footage.
