I have been working on this project since before the pandemic and shot much of it during the crisis, but it came together this summer. Proud to have documented the life and career of this 91 year old legend. Barry Bonds, who rarely speaks to the press, gave us a touching and heartfelt interview. Chuck D composed an original song celebrating Willie that plays over the closing credits. The end end credit sequence has some funny surprises. Very happy to be premiere at the Urban World Festival, where several of my films (Brooklyn Boheme, Finding the Funk, A Ballerina’s Tale) have either debuted or been featured. Lots more details about the film to come in the weeks a head.
By the way today is the 68th anniversary of “the Catch” in the 1954 World Series that made him a legend.
