MR. FOOTBALL (2025)
“An unforgettable and heartbreaking documentary. Would have made a great ESPN 30 for 30 feature. It tackles a lot of important subjects and should be required watching for any coaches, student athletes, and anyone who works with teenagers.”

“Mr. Football is an unforgettable, deeply human sports documentary that hits with the emotional force of a championship moment. It captures the heart and grit of one of Cleveland's most storied high school football programs while exploring themes of brotherhood, loss, faith, and redemption with honesty and power. The storytelling is raw and gripping, the interviews are heartfelt, and the film's message resonates far beyond the field.”
After an urban Catholic High School football team comes together to win a state championship, tragedy strikes. A star player is killed, and two of his teammates are charged with his murder. Based on the true story of the Cleveland, Ohio, Benedictine football team's 2004 season.
