It's a difficult undertaking. I've been married for four years and I see this movie as a cautionary tale about people who've gone deeply out of communication.
The thing I've come to learn is that what's great about small independent films is the intimacy and the communication that occurs when you're making them.
I don't think there has been enough communication between the players and the tournaments. In one sense it's just as much the players' fault.

I never told a victim story about my imprisonment. Instead I told a transformation story - about how prison changed my outlook about how I saw that communication truth and trust are at the heart of power.
You're talking about a younger generation Generation Y whose interpersonal communication skills are different from Generation X. The younger generation is more comfortable saying something through a digital mechanism than even face to face.
Making movies is not rocket science. It's about relationships and communication and strangers coming together to see if they can get along harmoniously productively and creatively.

Communication is about being effective not always about being proper.
