"If you ever did theater in high school, you'll find it irrestistible."

"GIMME AN M!"

A feel-good documentary, headed for OWN, makes a pitch for the arts – and viewers' hearts.

"The story is simple, and the production values are pretty basic, but it's the type of movie that wants to inspore and accually accomplishes this aim without becomming obnoxious."

- Ashley Schwellenbach

Over the next month, we at IDA will be introducing our community to the filmmakers whose work is represented in the DocuWeeks^TM Theatrical Documentary Showcase, which runs from July 30 through August 19 in New York City and Los Angeles. We asked the filmmakers to share the stories behind their films--the inspirations, the challenges and obstacles, the goals and objectives, the reactions to their films so far.

So, to continue this series of conversations, here is Matthew Kallis, director/producer of MOST VALUABLE PLAYERS.
