Papa Brussel was in the ring with Mr. Venom when he had a sudden heart attack. Since Papa Brussel&rsquo;s death five years ago, the Brussel brothers mission has been to dethrone Mr. Venom, restore their family legacy and revive the sport of thumbwrestling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;<em>Do it for Papa<\/em>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/uploads\/ce74f7cc9db75f06a98823cce40eee07.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The boys are dependent on the great thumb wrestling talents of the youngest Brussel, &ldquo;The Prodigy&rdquo;, as their secret weapon. The documentary crew follows him to thumb wrestling&rsquo;s biggest and most competitive event, the &ldquo;Thumble Rumble&rdquo;, the annual tournament to crown the world&rsquo;s greatest thumb-wrestler.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Will the youngest Brussel. The Prodigy, allow his contempt for the sport as well as his older brother to hinder his ultimate goal of revitalizing the WTF and restoring his father&rsquo;s legacy? If he is able to defeat the villainous Mr. Venom, it will certainly be no easy task.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">WTF shows the heart, passion, drive, and support needed to succeed in any sport, even one as ridiculous as thumb wrestling. Inspired by many of the ESPN 30 for 30 Collections, fans of wrestling will especially relate to this hilarious, uplifting film by following the Brussel brothers to the &ldquo;Thumble Rumble&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">WTF is a competitive, hilarious film, with determination as the key to save the sport from the evil thumb of Mr. Venom, which will leave viewers in hysterics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/uploads\/99fd3196537d2893f2982ec5f8ba53a0.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">WTF will be featured on various platforms such as AT&amp;T, Comcast, DISH, FandangoNow, Google, InDemand, iTunes, SlingTV, Sony (Playstation), Vubiquity, and Amazon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Stars:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Debra Wilson &ndash; &ldquo;MADtv&rdquo;, &rdquo;Avatar&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Keith Habersberger &ndash; &ldquo;Buzzfeed&rsquo;s Try Guys&rdquo;, Social Media Star<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Eddie Jemison &ndash; &ldquo;Oceans 11,12,13&rdquo;, &ldquo;iZombie&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Samm Levine &ndash; &ldquo;Freaks and Geeks&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">John Hennigan &ndash; WWE Superstar<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bert Belasco &ndash; &ldquo;Pitch&rdquo; (Fox), &ldquo;Let&rsquo;s Stay Together&rdquo; (BET)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Enrico Natale&rsquo;s Awards:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Manhattan Film Festival &#8211; 2016<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Won, &#8220;Silver Skies&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><em>Best Feature Film<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Producer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival, US &#8211; 2016<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Won, &ldquo;Silver Skies&rdquo;<\/li>\n<li><em>Audience Award &ndash; People&rsquo;s Choice Award<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Producer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Action on Film Festival International Film Festival, USA &#8211; 2012<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Won, &ldquo;Ticket to Hell&rdquo;<\/li>\n<li><em>Best Drama Short Film<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Director and Producer&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Los Angeles Film, TV and Webisode Festival &#8211; 2012<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>&ldquo;Ticket to Hell&rdquo;<\/li>\n<li><em>Best Drama Short Film<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Director and Producer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;Los Angeles Film and Script Festival, US &#8211; 2012<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Nominated, &ldquo;Ticket to Hell&rdquo;<\/li>\n<li><em>Best Narrative Short<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Director<\/li>\n<li>Shared with: Ryan Glasglow<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Independent Film Quarterly-Firm and Webisode Festival &#8211; 2011<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Won, &ldquo;Good Job, Thanks!&rdquo;<\/li>\n<li><em>Best Directorial Debut<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Won, &ldquo;Ticket to Hell&rdquo;<\/li>\n<li><em>Best Directorial Debut<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">WTF (2017, 89 min.)
