| Summary |
This is the story of Elliot "White Lightning" Scott, a martial artist who dreams of becoming Canada's first action hero with his new low-budget karate epic, *Blood Fight*. This surreal documentary captures two years in the lives of a passionate amateur filmmaker, his supportive partner Linda, and their outrageous cast-all trying to realize their dreams. As Elliot retreats into his world of make-believe, Linda struggles to keep him grounded and patiently waits for him to propose. With everyone's hopes and dreams pinned on Elliot, this comedic-drama unfolds into a shocking and complex examination of the lies that we tell ourselves. Winner of Best Documentary Feature at **Slamdance Film Festival**. Nominated for Best Canadian Documentary at **Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival**. *"Delivers huge laughs with an underlying sadness." - Norman Wilner, **NOW Toronto*** |
