Join the Dark Brothers, Louisiana natives and local filmmakers, Derek Dark & Preston Dark for a screening of their latest documentary feature BLUE CHIPPERS: NEXT MAN UP followed by a Q&A.
This powerful documentary explores the high-stakes world of high school and college athletics. It examines the pressures young athletes face, from the relentless competition to the ever-present possibility of injury or losing a spot to the "next man up." The film shines a light on the realities of student-athletes, who are often viewed as future professional stars but may end up grappling with the harsh transition from the spotlight of college sports to "regular life." The film features all-pro running back Marshawn Lynch, Senator Corey Booker, and Hall of Fame coach Pete Richardson.
Our Regional Filmmakers Spotlight series showcases emerging and talented independent filmmakers from Louisiana and the South. It also highlights the growth of Louisiana’s indigenous independent film industry.
