Slacker

About This Movie

So, 'Slacker' is a documentary that dives into the world of slacklining, but it really becomes about Terry Acomb’s life. The pacing feels relaxed, almost like a leisurely stroll through his daily routine, yet there's this undercurrent of dedication that makes it compelling. You get a glimpse of the passion he has for the sport, and it's fascinating to see how this geologist from Fruita has shaped slacklining in North America. The atmosphere is pretty laid-back but there's a sense of urgency in his mission to spread the sport. It’s not about flashy effects or high drama, but rather the simplicity and purity of the sport and the community around it that makes it distinctive.
