A friendly alert for all those that will be in Philadelphia range on February 2nd: the documentary
Laduma (formerly known as One Goal) will have a screening/fundraiser at the Ritz East (125 So. 2nd
St.) on that evening.The film rolls at 7:30 pm, and you can attend with a $15 donation to help
cover the independent event, with 20% going to HELP KICK HUNGER, a food drive organized by the Sons
of
With fewer than three days to go before their deadline, the filmmakers of The Jay DeMerit Story are
less than $7,000 from their funding target.Who wants to take part in the latest Team USA last gasp
rally?Let's get 'er done!- Greg Seltzer
It's a smooth move from Will's Woody Allen flick Top 5'er (What? No NSC reader love for Bananas?!?
Shocking!!). We go straight into the card for the third New York Kicking & Screening Festival,
which will take place in Manhattan from July 20-23.I had a blast at the inaugural Amsterdam version
- even if my foosball offense was short of form.
It was during a trip to Mexico City in 2009 that inspiration struck Ashwin Chaudhary. A longtime
filmmaker, the New York native embedded with a rambunctious group of zealous US soccer fans
traveling to the US-Mexico World Cup qualifier at the fortress Azteca in August nearly two years
ago. Chaudhary smuggled in a small camera, and what he captured - most of which curdles the blood
of any US fan
As Will heads off to cover the U.S. v Panama rematch for NSC and I point you over two Part Deux of
my goodie release over at MLSS, let's all get ready for the fall release of Laduma (formerly One
Goal). The new title is a South African exultation used after a goal is scored. This one looks
mighty good, USMNT supporters - after all, it's about you.
Just so you didn't think I forgot about you, it's the BBC film United, which from what I've heard
is a pretty good "based on real events" dramatization of Manchester United's Busby Babes and the
1958 Munich Air Disaster. The film is in 10 parts, below is the opener and you can follow it all
the way through the related videos.
I will as soon as I come up with a script idea good enough to take to Donald Glover. Don't think
I'm joking.But for now, would you like to contribute to the completion (and by extension,
distribution) of Rise and Shine: The Jay DeMerit Story?With several levels of sponsorship
available, you can.- Greg Seltzer

With Rise & Shine: The Jay DeMerit Story, it's hard not to notice the connections between
filmmakers and subject. The production/direction team of Nick Lewis and Ranko Tutulugdzija have
broken into the documentary game by eagerly wandering into the unknown and by making it
personal.The pair are professionals in other fields and amateurs at film - but the crossover
novices had two major somethings
Okay, I have talked with one of the filmmakers and I have a bit of additional info on The Jay
DeMerit Story. The movie will be screened solely in film festivals for one year, starting next
month in Vancouver, where it is up for a Canada International Film Festival award. The rough cut
runs about 90 minutes, and from what I can gather will be released on DVD later this year.
Just pretend this isn't consecutive AFT's. I am not the droid the you are looking for (Force)...#1
- Stuart Holden has his sights set on the FA Cup final four and Birmingham City is in his way.
Literally.#2 - In case you missed it, last night's Extra Time Radio had Freddy Adu and (FIFA)
presidential candidate Grant Wahl.
Please enjoy one of the selections from this weekend's Kicking & Screening Film Festival in
Amsterdam. Maybe some of you have seen it, maybe none of you have. Either way, it's a good
28-minute view. I will try to locate another or two of the weekend selection for you all, but
here's presentation #1. The Referee | Rättskiparen [2010] from Freedom From Choice AB on Vimeo.
