KINNICK
ROLE: Co-DIRECTOR, WRITER & Producer
TEAM: Christopher Cook, Scott Siepker & Brendan Dunphy
KINNICK is a feature length biography of a forgotten 20th century hero. The team’s goal was to create a vibrant retelling of Nile Kinnick’s life that would appeal to both college football fans and the sports-adverse.
Primary production ran from 2016-2021 and included extensive original research, interviews, visuals & compositing, and score.
The film was released in August of 2022. During its opening weekend, it was the highest grossing film in the Des Moines metro. This success grew to an organic run in dozens of theaters across the state of Iowa, leading the film to turn a profit in its first month. It is now available on Amazon Video and iTunes.
