This is the short film that was inspired in part by my documentary series, Raising the Bar.

http://muvi.es/w3062/127519It's about a former cop who is conflicted between the promises of a competitive bodybuilding career and a new relationship with a caring woman who at first seems to support him but eventually does not understand his devotion to bodybuilding.
The filmmaker Eugene Ioannou says that Raising the Bar and The Wrestler (with Micky Rourke) inspired him to take a shot at making this dramatic short about commitment and relationships, hoping of course for the opportunity to eventually make it into a feature length film.
Eugene's insights into the world, the language and the pressures of bodybuilding are perfectly accurate, and the acting is very good throughout. Starring Rob Youells (excellent in his first acting role!), Sharon Maguire, Mark Vincent and with a cameo by Gregg Valentino!
You can view the entire film (It's about 20 minutes long) for a small fee at the link I have provided.
