Upcoming FBB movie, hopefully

Jan 28, 2018 - permalink
The Austrian filmmaker and director Fussenegger (well, who doesn't know him ;-) ) is currently casting FBBs for a movie. It won't be a documentary, it'll be a fictional story about the life of a FBB.
I suggest to give him some thumbs up to show there is interest.

Bumping this thread to see if anyone knows what became of this. This is my first time seeing the preview vid (link still works).

Searching the name "Fussenegger" from the title of the preview, we get the director's name Philipp Fussenegger. Searching that brings up 2 films, one of them being "I Am the Tigress." You can see Tischa Thomas is listed at the top of the poster:

Strangely the preview features anyone and everyone except for Tischa, so I'm not sure if this is the same project. Has anyone seen this movie? Was it enjoyable?

Years ago, i watched this short film on Mar Del Plata Film Festival, on Argentina. It´s called "Muscles" and it´s about a young boy, who must deal with a older sister, who is obssesed with being a female bodybuilder. Directed by Edward Housden

Where do you think I can watch the movie?

According to IMDB, the release date was April 14 this year, but only in Germany. Outside of living in Germany, and even then it's probably no longer in theaters by now, I don't think there's currently any way to watch it. Hopefully they have plans to release it on video or some streaming site, although I don't know where you would find out that information. Unfortunately their (Funfairfilms) Youtube page (linked in a comment above) and IG page both haven't been updated in a year.

Hey link seems to be broken, could you check it out? Seems really interesting.

And about the film, after several years of consuming FBB content, social media posting and some deeper information here in forums, I think the film portrays just what one can imagine about the FBB lifestyle: some health concerns, an everyday obligation and routine, an expensive activity that can take profit but also it's all about taking some extreme place in society.

Also I agree as behave005, the documentary seems to sit in the drama part, like FBB are endangerous dolphins, and we really like the aquarium.

Yes thank you both of you, I saw it is pretty good.

About it, pretty fast it points the shallow and unappealing enviroment of the gym, the competition and the people around, pretty good job. Very expresive but subtle, just with the kid cachting some vibes about this world.
