Chicago - Students at Chicago’s Flashpoint Academy are celebrating the success of their new documentary.

The film "Sadermania" was honored as "Best of the Fest" at the Chicago Film Festival, and it just premiered at the Midwest Film Festival Tuesday night.

The film is about a local Hulk Hogan super-fan who ended up befriending the famous professional wrestler.

The entire project was filmed and edited by Flashpoint students.

Bill Zwecker hosted the subject of the film, Chris Sader, as they joined Good Day Chicago to talk about what it was like to meet The Hulk and how this documentary has changed his life.
