ON EDGE American Directions

The revelations of the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan affair are nothing compared to the unbelievable truths unearthed in ON EDGE, Karl Slovin’s satirical, riotous skewering of women’s figure skating.

ON EDGE follows three unlikely Olympic hopefuls – the 200-pound Wendy; the bulimic, overachieving Veda; and the rebellious punk J.C.- as they prepare for the Regional Finals, the California gateway to the Olympics and eternal happiness. Reminiscent of the charm and go-for-broke humor of WAITING FOR GUFFMAN and BEST IN SHOW, Slovin’s mockumentary chronicles the dreams, trysts and bad hair of skaters lost in the shadow of Nancy Kerrigan and the American Dream.

Starring Jason Alexander (SEINFELD), Wendie Malick (JUST SHOOT ME) and a host of former Olympic champions, ON EDGE offers the contemporary skating world both a loving valentine and an acidic, unforgettable “Dear John” letter.
