Thumbwrestler

Mark Levitt

Director(s):

Newt "The Digit" Feldenstein was a world renown thumb wrestler. The best poker and flicker the sport has ever seen: Adoring ringside crowds, luxurious lifestyle, and the green eyed envy of a world who-at very best- must remain contented to use their thumbs for the purposes of hailing cabs or showing approval at something. But the quick hand of time spares no one...not even a famous "thumbsman". So, After years at the top of the game, a grim medical prognosis forces Newt into a career tailspin...he is sidelined, shunted aside, and forced to bear the taunts of any random, hungry, thumb-wrestling wannabee who strives to snatch the last vestige Newt's thumbwrestling crown. Broken in mind and body, Newt must make a choice... Quit the fight game outright, turn to performance enhancing drugs, or should he accept, adapt, and boldly embrace whatever life throws at him ... no matter whose thumb lies in wait for him him at the other side of that next ring.
