I watched the promo, and it certainly seems like a really cool project. And, you also know that I'm quite a bull riding fan.
My one major critique is that the women involved in this organization seem nearly invisible in the promo (and the title). The mention the fact that "cowgirls" are involved in the gay rodeo, but their role is not explain and are given next to zero time in the promo. It's certainly important to highlight the importance of gay men in the rodeo organization, but I hope the lesbians aren't completely marginalized.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!
WE DID IT!! I know I've worn out the term by now, but thank you. I can't tell you how overwhelmed with gratitude I am for everyone banding together to make this happen. It was an insanely difficult feat to overcome, but it's now a huge vote of confidence for this film's potential. It wouldn't have been possible without every person who pledged, re-posted, sent the link out to friends and family (and apparently repeated posts to an entire international underworld of Brokeback Mountain enthusiasts?? Awesome.). You all humble and honor me with your encouragement over the past 30 days, and I'll continue working until the final frame is done in order to deserve it.
Hello, my name is Chrissi and I'm a member of an international underworld.... ;) :laugh:
And here I thought the first rule of the international underworld of Brokeback Mountain club was "Do not talk about the international underworld of Brokeback Mountain club"...
