Product Description Los Angeles, CA BWP Press -- ROLLER GURLS an insightful multi-dimensional look at this re-emerging complex Sport that has already swept across every state in the USA and found around the world . Set inside the secular underground world of today s Women s Roller Derby filmmaker Bob Bryan probes the serious gritty reality behind over three (3) dozen Derby women of varying ages and sizes, who have chosen to adopt super-hero and in some cases anti-hero personas and attitudes to play this exciting, hardhitting and incredibly difficult and fast-paced action sport. GV13 is very well done, good pacing, and an accurate depiction of one of the lesser known sports. Filmmaker Bob Bryan did an excellent job using natural sound and numerous sources to tell the story. Obviously a lot of work put in to this documentary that s a must-see for anyone involved in Roller Derby, but would also be entertaining to the non-sports fan. ---Mike Scott, KSPR Sports Director What surprised me as a new player was that Roller Derby is played very professionally and that the skill level is very high. When I tried to do certain Derby moves, it was very, very difficult to learn. - Emme Sixteen, Long Beach Roller Derby Roller Derby Gurls are tough-minded, intelligent women of all ages, psychologies, cultures and professions who have fiercely committed themselves to succeed in a grueling hands-on transformative discipline. These ROLLER GURLS morph themselves from working women during the day, into world class competitive warrior athletes by night, says the filmmaker, Bob Bryan.

GV13 ROLLER GURL is probably not what people (non-derby) will expect, in a derby documentary. It is, however, at least from my experience, an excellent and dynamic portrayal of the girls behind the derby names. Game-Time captures the soul of derby! - Nerd Badger (Tracie Scott), Interleague Relations, E-Ville Roller Derby League, Alberta, Australia-Member of Canadian Women s Roller Derby Association In this organized and rule-based world of Roller Derby, these women lustfully battle each other, deploying skilled defensive and offensive combative strategies that utilizes no balls whatsoever! You see, there s no balls in Roller Derby. What makes Roller Derby unique, is that the offensive scoring object is a girl with a star on the side of her helmet. Essentially, the jammer is the ball and she s bowling thru all these players... We don t need a ball, we ve got a human! - GoGo Gidget, Bench Coach and Player for Angel City Derby Girls Professionally shot and sensitively directed by Bob Bryan, GV13 ROLLER GURL features the magnificent women of Angel City Derby Gir Review GV13 is very well done, good pacing, and an accurate depiction of one of the lesser known sports. Filmmaker Bob Bryan did an excellent job using natural sound and numerous sources to tell the story. Obviously allot of work was put into this documentary that s a must-see for anyone involved in Roller Derby, but would also be entertaining to the non-sports fan. --- Mike Scott, KSPR Sports DirectorBeautiful!!!! One can feel the thrill and the passion come through! The first thing which strikes one (pun intended) is that Roller Derby is Not for the faint hearted.....also proved by the interestingly bizarre pseudonyms of these warrior girls! They definitely seem to be having the time of their lives. The sheer passion of the lil babes (Long Beach Roller Derby Junior League), as well as, the transformation of young women from sedate job personnel, to the night time rabid go-getters has to be seen, to be believed. The therapeutic nature of the game is well documented through casual chit chats and the intensity of the game has the audience enthralled, holding their breath. Filmmaker Bob Bryan brings us a true tale of a genuine game of skill, sexy outfits and athletic competition. The music is complimentary to the pace and the camera work is superb. This film will sure push you to catch a live Roller Derby bout! --V. Anjali - Mumbai, IndiaGV13 ROLLER GURL: A complicated Game-Time Love Affair is probably not what people (non-derby) will expect, in a derby documentary. It is, however, at least from my experience, an excellent and dynamic portrayal of the girls behind the derby names. Game-Time captures the soul of derby! As the girls from Angel City Derby Girls and Long Beach Roller Derby explain their derby names and their motivation for joining the sport, I think that non-derby people (NDP) will start to understand what derby really means to the girls that play. For derby people (DP) I think that it shows the heart behind the successful leagues that have thrived under the care of some very dedicated women. A Complicated Game-Time Love Affair is aptly named, because the women of derby really do have a complex relationship with this punishing, but rewarding sport. I think GV13 beautifully portrays the inexplicable derby desire to strap on some skates. Indeed, as Chica-Go-Lightning (of ACDG League)explains sometimes you just gotta run into each other to make a connection. --Nerd Badger (Tracie Scott) Interleague Relations, E-Ville Roller Derby League P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Director Filmmaker Bob Bryan has directed & executive produced all thirteen (13) documentaries in the multi award-winning Graffiti Verite' Docu-Series.
