Chalk It Up – the movie

I rented Chalk It Up on iTunes for $4.99.

Pretty silly, actually. And not nearly as much Gymnastics as I had hoped.

This film is fun for young female gymnasts. It’s family friendly. But adults may find it juvenile.

Some of the cinematography is well done. The movie was shot in 12 days yet production values are impressive. With very little funding this project was clearly a labour of love.

Congratulations to Maddy Curley and the rest of the team for putting it together. Big shout out for International Gymnastics Camp for providing the Gym.

Anne Josephson is a California Mom, Coach and Gym Owner.

At Ontario Congress one of her sessions had an amusing title – Sometimes I Wish I Coached Only Orphans: Thoughts on Dealing with “Difficult” Parents

Very entertaining & informative, it was well attended. 🙂
