The Season: Arizona Football
This two-hour feature documentary explores the inner workings of a college
football team in transition. When John Mackovic, a strict and demanding
new head coach steps in to jump-start a fledgeling football program, the
players are visibly shaken. One fails to meet the new weight requirements
and nearly kills himself trying to stay on the team. Others feel verbally
assaulted. And while the season starts off strong, it quickly crashes
into six straight losses. The players struggle to maintain morale, while
their strained relationship with Coach Mackovic worsens.
The film follows five UA players - sophomore running back Clarence Farmer, senior defensive lineman Anthony Thomas, junior wide receiver Bobby Wade, senior cornerback Anthony Banks and junior quarterback Jason Johnson - through the tumultuous first season under new head coach John Mackovic.
The crew lived in Tucson through four months of football
practice and games, both home and away. Shot on DigiBeta 16x9, the show
was edited at an on-site Avid and onlined back in Los Angeles before premiering
on ESPN in two one-hour programs.
