Support Our Troops; Attend a Free Screening to Help Operation DVD
Local truck driver-turned-filmmaker Tamera Sturgis will screen her highly acclaimed Mixed Martial Arts documentary, UNDER PRESSURE in her local community. The film will be shown Saturday December 6th at Pro-Fitness gym, which is located at 424 D St in Marysville, CA 95901. Doors will open at 1:30 p.m. and the film will start at 2:00 p.m. Sturgis’ film has played in New York, Denver, Chico, Houston, Boston and Portland, but this will be the first time it has been screened locally. An after-party will take place at Padres Pub located at 461 Bridge St in Yuba City.
The screening is free, but Sturgis is asking everyone to support our troops and bring their used DVDS to donate them to the charity OPERATION DVD. Operation DVD collects DVDS and sends them to our troops overseas. In many places our troops cannot even go outside and play sports do to snipers and land mines. DVDS are often their only form of entertainment. The DVDS are also sent to VA hospitals around the world to help the wounded pass the time during their hospital stay. Sturgis will donate several copies of Under Pressure.
The documentary features Tamera’s husband, Todd as he tries to go from overweight truck driver to fully fledged cage fighter. “The film shows what the family members of these fighters go through when they have a loved one in the fight game.” said Sturgis, “So far the response from the MMA community has been positive, I’m curious to see what the people of Yuba–Sutter think.” The film also features two Sacramento area fighters Jaime Jara and James Fanshier. Says Chris Gill, Owner of Pro-Fitness Gym, “I was a little taken aback when she showed me a stack of magazines from all over the US, Australia, and England, singing the film’s praises. When a local person puts their heart and soul into something it’s up to the community to give something back. I am really happy for her.” Don’t forget to bring your used DVDs to support our troops.
