Dear Sports fans,My name is Stephen Lilly, I?m an independent filmmaker. I?m also an alumus of Cal Berkeley football and before that a member of the 1992 team that started De La Salle High School?s 12 year 151 game winning streak. In 2000, I returned to De La Salle to film a behind the scenes feature length documentary about the philosophy of the Spartans? winning tradition. 7 years in the making and many obstacles overcome, ?Perfect Effort? is now complete. It?s an inspirational story, which reminds us all that high school football at its core isn?t about winning games, it?s about growing-up. The film is a completely independent production (translation: I?m broke and all I have is this film) and will be released this fall online and at select theaters in Northern California. DVD?s will go on sale in Oct.Over the past few months we?ve held a few screening events and have received some awesome endorsements from special guests like John Madden, Tom Flores, Joe Morgan, Chris Mullin and Tony LaRussa. We?re planning more great events during the upcoming football season and would like to keep this (forum) updated.In the meantime we?ve launched a grassroots campaign to get the word out and build our mailing list. We?re also looking for people to host ?screening parties? across the country. This is a great way to get a sneak preview before the formal release. If you or anyone you know is interested in high school football or the story behind De La Salle?s streak, please check out our website and join our mailing list. We have a trailer and some great clips available on youtube under perfecteffort.Thanks for your time.Stephen LillyDirector-?Perfect Effort?
Dude, I live about 10 minutes away from De La Salle, and have many friends that go there. Im excited about this.
