FREE SCREENING IN NY - 7pm, Wed. April 4th.

What does a tiki bar have to do with Bolivian women wrestlers, you ask? If you are one of the few/many New Yorkers who have not yet had a chance to see Mamachas, or if you have but just can't get enough (in which case I love you)-- check out this FREE SCREENING of Mamachas at Otto's Shrunken Head in the East Village, Wed. April 4th. Part of the monthly INDIEPIX screening series at Otto's.

Wed, April 4th, 7pm (movie starts at 7:15p)

**If you can't make the screening, you can always get the DVD, download it or catch it on iTunes.

Mamachas del Ring is on iTunes!

Miss the Mamachas release on iTunes?

Here it is!

(It's best if you open it in your itunes for all options to buy or rent it --HD vs. SD)

Film fans and Wrestling fans unite! (We hope...)

@MelanieTeamDD: If you support indy wrestling, why not support indy cinema too?

The folks over at Diva-Dirt.com have been incredibly supportive of Mamachas and the upcoming DVD release, and it is absolutely encouraging and inspiring. For those who aren't in the know yet, Diva-Dirt.com is THE leading fansite for professional women's wrestling. They cover everything from WWE bigwigs to the independent wrestling circuit, to, well, independent documentaries about independent female wrestlers in Bolivia.

Their tweets, posts, and the podcast interview I did with them has really given me some hope that maybe, just maybe, the DVD and Video on Demand releasee will really be the legs that Mamachas needs to reach its audience. Our festival run has been amazing/exciting/intense/overall awesome, but what about people who haven't crossed paths with the circuit?

I guess we'll find out JUNE 21st, when the DVD hits the streets!

DVD!

We are proud to announce the upcoming DVD and streaming release of Mamachas del Ring!

Indiepix will be releasing the DVD in the US on June 21st, and it will be available for downloading and streaming on the 28th. Get it while it's hot!

(...and stay tuned for news on itunes and Amazon, coming this July...)

MAMACHAS DEL RIING ist in der bolivianischen Andenregion angesiedelt und handelt von Carmen Rosa, die sich in der Männerdomäne "lucha libre" durchsetzen will. Sie ist auf dem besten Weg, zum Liebling der Massen zu werden, bis ihr Mann ihr ein Ultimatum setzt: sie muss zwischen der Karriere und der Familie wählen. 

Gedreht wurde MAMACHAS DEL RING von Betty M. Park. Die Regisseurin ist in New York aufgewachsen und hat in Berkeley studiert, bevor sie für verschiedene TV-Sender (u.a. MTV)  zu arbeiten anfing.
