My father was a wrestler before me. You never stop being a wrestler. "The best four and a half minutes you'll spend at the movies this weekend" – Chicago Reader "Remarkable in just how much you can achieve in a short time and on the lowest of budgets, Wrestling with my Father simply depicts Fairbanks' dad in the audience of a wrestling match (apparently with the filmmaker as one of the wrestlers). Within this extraordinarily simple set-up are whole worlds of humour, pathos and intrigue." – Montreal Mirror Awards: Official Best of Fest Awards, 2012 Director’s Choice Selection, Black Maria Film + Video Festival, 2012 Best Experimental Film – Honorable Mention, Oxford Film Festival, 2011 Best of Festival – Honorable Mention, Stuttgart Filmwinter, 2011 Best of Festival, Gangrene Comedy Film Festival, 2010
