Get to know co-producer/co-writer Robert Joseph Lewis:
My director and co-writer William J. Stribling and I had recently won awards for our short film: Beyond Belief, and I was interested in a new project. I saw a documentary about a man becoming an old-time strong man called Bending Steel. I wanted to make something similar only move it to a Mockumentary by good into the strangest thing I could think of. The next day, the opening lines of the film came to me in my morning shower, and I contacted William. He said, I”I have two weeks in August that are open.” We then started to write the script.
