Join directors Greg Lynch and Doug Nichols for the Amazon Prime watch party of their film Stro: The Michael D’Asaro Story on May 1. Stro: TMDS is the story of renowned saber fencer and coach Michael D’Asaro. Stro: The Michael D’Asaro Story recounts D’Asaro’s life story as he goes from dangerous gang member to internationally renowned saber fencer to hippy experiencing the summer of love to coach of the 5 time NCAA champion San Jose State Women’s Fencing team.

On May 1 at 6pm, Doug and Greg will host an Amazon Watch Party for the movie on Amazon Prime. If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can join in for free. The film runs for 90 minutes. During the film, there is a chat feature you can use to ask questions of Doug and Greg. The watch party is limited by Amazon to 100 people. Also, the Amazon Prime Watch Party feature does not work on Apple’s Safari Browser. You will have to use Google Chrome or Firefox to participate in the Watch Party. 

Amazon does not let you schedule a watch party in advance so on  Saturday May 1 at 5:45 pm, the link to the watch party will be shared on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/StroTheMovie and Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/strothemovie First come, first served. We can also email the link to you at that time if you contact us in advance.

Even if you don’t get into the Amazon Prime Watch party, you can still watch the movie at the same time and then join Doug and Greg for a Question and Answer session on Zoom. All are welcome to attend. The Zoom Q & A session starts at 7:45 and runs for approximately 60 minutes .

To get the Zoom log-in information please email Greg at gregwcfa@gmail.com or Doug at doug@westcoastfencingarchive.com

We hope to see you there.

Please note: As much we would like everyone to see the film, the themes and language are quite frank and we did not censor anyone’s speech during the making of the film. Although Stro: The Michael D’Asaro Story is unrated, it would probably get an R rating if the film went before the ratings board.

See you all on May 1
