(S9) - PT 4 - Movie Pitch

[Dangles13]

A movie? Well, that sounds like a novel idea. I think we would have to focus heavily on the relationship between my father and myself. My pops was the reason I grew up with football running through my veins and he is the reason I am where I am today. My old man spent much of his free time training my brothers and me; when he could get out of the factory he would make sure we were doing our school work but once that was done it was time to hit the gridiron. I think a movie with such a good fatherly figure would be a big success, my dad was a single father because my mother passed away giving birth to my youngest brother and he didn't skip a beat raising the three of us. This movie would be a drama that tugs on the heartstrings as it follows my father and the amount of stress he was under that I was too young to understand growing up and the breaking point that eventually cost him his life. Only when my father died from his heart attack did my brothers and I understand just how hard it was to raise a family while trying to survive and that led us to fight hard and scrape to get where we are.
