With a bloody, no-holds-barred profile of champion wrestler Matt “Bulldozer” Tremont, New York-based director Matthew Dillon Cohen invites us into the violent world of Deathmatch wrestling—capturing the grit and sacrifice of entertainers who put their bodies on the line, time after time. Here, the director talks about his flinch-inducing documentary:
"When I heard Matt’s story, it was the first time I'd witnessed the extreme lengths that passion can push someone for the sake of another’s entertainment—in this case it's for the fans.
"Deathmatch wrestling is already hardcore but Matt’s drive to push himself to extreme limits stems from a simple and human motivation—a deep respect for his work."
