The Fresh Show Episode 3: Riders on the Storm

The Fresh Show Episode 3 from Immotion Studios on Vimeo.

Since July I have been following around (when I can) the new ABA expansion basketball team in Ft. Worth called, The North Texas Fresh. I knew that when I started this project that I wanted to do a documentary on a subject that I really loved. That being basketball. I had tried to do this with the Fort Worth Flyers a few years ago, but was cock blocked by the NBA. So next came this opportunity with the NT Fresh. At first I didn't really know where we where going. In fat this being my first doc, I'm still not sure myself. But I have enlisted some friends to help me with this labor of love. There is no pay in this, just love of the game and guys that are just trying to get a foot in the door of the pro level. They are hungry and play hard.

I started to make them more of a promotional video. In fact the first two episodes were very much promotional. So with this third episode I have tried to move more to a documentary style. I've been somewhat delayed in the filming due to some issues outside of my control, but with the help of my fillmmaker buddies, Coleman Anderson and Jason Todd Hampton they have picked me up and got me back into the grind of documentary filmmaking. Thank you guys! and thanks to Fresh CEO Jay Bowdy and the ABA for giving me total access to the team and operations. And also thanks to my day job at Immotion Studios for the use of the editing facilities and cameras to pull this off.

So I have decided to keep filming when possible, and also make a web series out of it for now so that i can practice my doc style on the fly while letting the series promote the team. Documentary filmmaking is rough going. Tougher than I ever imagined. It takes total and undying dedication. I am aspiring to get there, and my hat is off to all you documentarians out there. This is hard stuff. I plan on doing 10 episodes total. So here is the third episode in the series now re-nammed, The Fresh Show.
