from an interview with filmmaker
Amanda Micheli




"These are women who have a passion about what they're doing and who aren't analyzing what it means or if it's masculine or feminine or if it's acceptable or not."
"I'm not a cowgirl, I'm a filmmaker at this point."
"it's like pure adrenalin. getting on a bronc is like, this hyperreality.

...the whole world is on this one moment and you're just waiting for that thing to open.

It's so focused, you're just looking at the horse's neck and everything is just waiting for that moment..."

"this is about using your body to really figure out who you are and not think about what other people think of what you're doing."
"that's what was so amazing about Fern...up until the day she died, she was really pushing herself.

Her niece said, probably she brought her own death on, but what a way to go."

"part of what I learned from Jan is not just to put yourself in this challenging situation and to test yourself but also to know when to stop and how to protect yourself... you have to know when to give up."
