  • Playground of production design and blurring the line between new footage vs. found footage 
  • The beauty and challenge of filming sports scenes with original cameras from the 70s and 80s
  • Recreating larger than life, and very tall, historical figures and how basketball lends itself to the storytelling process    
  • The secret weapon of rollerblades and broadcast angles 
  • Tackling complicated issues and filming with care and respect for the stories being told
