Curator’s notes

There are no spare moments in this documentary, as we cut from interview to action, and then back to interview; we get the feeling that the request to sit still long enough to speak about their experience is tough on the subjects. The energy of the rodeo is captured through the technical decision to have more than one camera covering the action.
