West of Greatness: The Story of the Westwego Muscle Boys (2025)
In een verpauperd stadje in Louisiana droomt Jerome van Hollywood, terwijl Terry probeert te ontsnappen aan een onrustig gezin. Verbonden door wanhoop trainen ze voor een zware bodybuildingwedstrijd die hun kans op meer biedt. Gefilmd over een periode van 18 maanden, baant "West of Greatness' een gedurfde nieuwe weg in filmische storytelling, waarbij rauwe documentaire wordt gecombineerd met gescript drama. Het is een aangrijpend, menselijk verhaal over ambitie, overleven en de stille band die ontstaat wanneer er niets meer te verliezen is.
