My knowledge of the project through Stephen, my previous successful investment in Jim Cumming’s ‘The Beta Test’ and my belief this story can appeal to a large audience of football fans and film fans alike is what drew me to this opportunity.
The insane popularity of college football and Gator Football specifically (with record attendances) gives me confidence that this film already has a built-in audience that is used to going out in groups to support their own and will see this movie as a celebration of themselves and their obsession as if it was an extra home game.
I’m a football fan myself (#raidernation) and can fully imagine how much fun it would be to see this dissection of your fandom together with other fans who on an emotional level completely understand the lengths to which you are willing to go to back your team.
Having seen Stephen’s previous work I fully trust his talent in telling a story that can leave whole rooms (and theatres) dying of laughter and I can’t wait to be in one of those theatres myself knowing I was a small part in making those laughs happen.
