A year in the making, many late nights filming cheerleaders screaming, laughing, crying, eating, performing, fighting, smoking, swearing, parading, traveling and a bit of dancing thrown in.
The film is being screened in 10 days at the QFT Belfast, mainly a private viewing for the cheerleaders, the coaches and families and a few own family, friends & colleagues.
The end of the road as far as production is concerned but hopefully just the start of the journey for the film itself as we will be sending it far and wide across the globe to enter in film festivals and hopefully broadcast.
So if you haven't had a personal invite don't take offence, we only had 40 seats left once we fitted in the Cheerleading clan.
Hopefully coming to a screen near you anyways and there will be a DVD release.
