Filmmakers William Peters and Michael Mooney, co-founders of Hammer and Saw Films (Motel, Exit 7A), are currently at work on their latest film, a documentary entitled 100: Head/Heart/Feet.

The film follows the day-to-day life of ultra-runner Zak Wieluns as he trains for, and finally completes what has haunted him for two years: The Vermont 100 Endurance Race, one of the original 100 mile runs in the USA. Three-hundred dedicated runners attempt to complete this grueling competition over Vermont’s paved streets, gravel back roads and wooded trails, in daylight and darkness, all within 30 hours. A few complete the race; many never cross the finish line.

The film will chronicles the months of Zak’s preparation before the race, including his day job as a bank financial analyst, relationships with his wife and infant daughter, and warnings from medical experts that this race could seriously damage his health and future. Plus, it allows viewers to experience the peculiar culture surrounding the phenomenon of ultrarunners – as well as the punishing race itself.

The trailer can be viewed by below. If you like what you see, visit the filmmakers’ Kickstarter page and pitch in to help the film reach fruition.
