|
No Limit, a feature-length poker documentary by Camden Pictures, recently won the Best Director award at the Australian International Film Festival.
Receiving rave reviews among the Festival circuit, the Las Vegas Sun claims, "No Limit is mother of poker docs." USA Today says, "These guys are like the last American cowboys - there are some great stories told." And the Toronto Star calls it, "A roller-coaster ride with an adrenaline high."
The movie follows the film's main character, Susan Genard, as she and her former fiancée Tim Rhys attempt to save their independent film company. How will they come up with the tens of thousands of dollars to keep it afloat? Susan's solution is simple. All that's needed to turn their financial troubles around is one poker tournament win.
The two single parents find themselves on an eight-month journey as they pursue the "American Dream" on the poker tournament trail. And Rhys doesn't even play poker. Still, Genard convinces him to leave his children behind in Maine as they juggle life along the circuit with their four-year-old son.
No Limit gives its audience a look inside the world of high-stakes poker, featuring interviews and snippets from over 40 poker legends, including Doyle Brunson, Phil Gordon, Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, Scotty Nguyen, Annie Duke, Chris Moneymaker, Mike Sexton, David Sklansky, Barry Greenstein, Amir Vahedi, Charlie Shoten, Chip Jett, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Clonie Gowen, David "Devilfish" Ulliott, Evelyn Ng, Howard Lederer, James McManus, Jennifer Harman, Kathy Liebert, Kenna James, Larry Flynt, Layne Flack, Linda Johnson, Lou Krieger, Mel Judah, Mark Seif, "Men the Master," "Miami" John Cernuto, Puggy Pearson, Steve Lipscomb, Thor Hansen, Tom Mcevoy, Vince Burgio, Warren Karp, and Yosh Nakano.
Directed by Rhys and Brian O'Hare, No Limit is a true story that takes its audience on a fascinating, painful, funny, frustrating, and sometimes-quirky journey along the poker tournament trail. The highs, lows, and in-betweens could spell disaster for this couple, and to complicate matters even more, Genard discovers during their travels that she's expecting their second child. As the story winds its way across country, the family wraps things up in Las Vegas at the mother of all poker events, the World Series of Poker.
