Product Description

This is true story with amazing poker insights from all the top players.

Is high-stakes poker a metaphor for the American Dream? A bi-coastal couple, Susan and Tim, carry their independent film company and four-year-old son on an eight month ride through the world of tournament poker. Their goal is to win $125,000 to develop a feature film. Business and formerly romantic partners, Susan and Tim often disagree. Susan is a self-directed, high energy gambler who has won poker tournaments before. Tim is her sensible but anxious mate and often her unwanted conscience. Along the way, we get to meet the peculiar players from around the globe who populate the poker world and hear their thoughts on poker's connection to the American Dream. None are boring, and many have become superstars in their sport. While exploring themes of The American Dream, individualism, talent and freedom, this International Award Winning Documentary guides us through an offbeat world few of us will ever enter.

The Essence of Poker
Great poker movie! Incredible interviews and insights on what it
takes to be a successful in poker and in life.

Best Poker Doc I've Ever Seen
These guys really nailed the emotional rollercoaster life of pro poker players, while covering all the bases with the best pro's in the business, they really brought it home for me with the family angle.

Brilliant!

You'll want to smack Susan across the face with a deck of cards...
But the real reason to watch this engrossing doc is the real deal poker players that surround that skinny, annoying (there should be a bounty on her head for chatting on the cell phone DURING PLAY!) woman - the filmakers (and editors) have done a great job putting the film together and it's exciting to be in the midst of the drama of poker playing and the family drama between Susan and her poor husband (at least he's in a better place at the end of the film - no spoilers here). I do recommend this and look forward to more from the people involved.
