Entry Description

In July 2017, the Riverside Brookfield High School football program celebrated its 100th year. To mark the occasion, head coach Brendan Curtin, himself a former player and a graduate of the RBHS Class of 1991, extended an invitation to all former members of the football program to return to the field where they cut their teeth as student athletes. This documentary highlights the day of The Return, Saturday, July 15, 2017. The submitted video is only an excerpt of a longer program.

• 4/24 9:06 pm - Great file film & pix. Tough competing against pieces shot over days or weeks in this category.
• 3/9 2:01 pm - Powerful opening - great verite, sound! Hooked! Strange framing of Brendan / odd OTS box (not a studio shot)... For the boxes, why not cutaway??? Typos in “receiver” Chyrons. Good local story overall - it’s a bit too long though - too many voices. As an excerpt, the duration feels arbitrary.
• 3/5 4:38 pm - Really good set up to the story - within a minute we know what it's going to be about. Thank you for letting us know in the description that this is an excerpt. I like the "grabbed in the field" feel to this film and solid camerawork. I'm curious where you are taking this story.
