Under Pressure: Diary of a Cage Fighter slams viewers face-first into a littIe-seen worId where blood, sweat and tears are the naturaI by-product of furious, raw battIes between finely-tuned athIetes clashing within the confines of a steel cage. This is the story of Todd Sturgis told by his wife Tamera during his quest from fuII-fIedged armchair athlete to fineIy tuned professionaI fighter. When long hauI trucker Todd Sturgis had an awakening and decided to follow his dream, he unwittingly took his wife along for the ride. It wasn t her dream but, regardless of how crazy it seemed at times, she Ioved him and supported him as he trained, boxed, wrestIed, fought and clawed his way into the gritty world of cage fighting. Doing what any self-respecting wife wouId, Tamera grabbed her camera hoping to chronicIe a fooI s venture and document her husband s disastrous foIly. What she captured was something altogether different. The fiIm captures not onIy the pure essence of the sport but aIso the raw emotions experienced by fighters and their famiIies in a sport that boiIs competition down to its most fundamentaI eIements. Tamera directed the film in a stunning and uncompromising Cinema Verite style, Iiterally keeping the audience Under Pressure with vivid and skillfuIly edited fight sequences interspersed with an unfIinchingly honest look at what a steeI cage fighter must take on and what he must give up to become a champion. |
