Though AU and Boardwalk haven’t specified which sport the documentary will feature, AU noted that part of the reason it’s comfortable moving forward with the project is the conversations its staff have had with Boardwalk. While looking for the stories, angles and characters that would give Athletes Unlimited a cohesive on-screen narrative, McGinty noted that her crew’s experience has made this particular effort something of a passion project—filled with potential and fueled by confidence in what the finished product could achieve.
“Storytelling is a team sport,” McGinty said. “Partnership, communication and expectations are paramount … how we make the project is as important to us as what we end up with.”
