It's no exaggeration to say it's been a thrash for producers Erik Anjou and Mark Bernstein to get to this point, but I just heard from Erik that sales of the documentary 8: Ivy League Football and America will begin tomorrow at the film website. From the site:“8: Ivy League Football and America” will be ready for purchase on December 10, 2008 for $24.95. This Special Features edition DVD includes the 96-minute Director’s Cut along with additional interview footage featuring Joe Paterno, Brian Dennehy, Ed Marinaro and others.By the way, if you saw the film on NESN you saw a 70-minute version. This is the original, uncut version that has an additional 26 minutes of Ivy League history to share.
With the holidays coming this is, well, a slam dunk. A home run. An ... um ... is there a football equivalent? Whatever it might be, this is it.
Erik also reports that a limited number of the DVDs will be available at the Dartmouth Coop Bookstore as early as this week. So between the DVD, those Ivy League calendars off to the left (see 'em over there?) and the Big Green Bundle, all your gift-giving is taken care of. OK, maybe not all, but it's a start!
Oh yeah, one more thing from the 8 website:
The Princeton Club of New England will host a screening of the film on Thursday, December 11 at the Harvard Club of Boston: 374 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, Mass. Dick Kazmaier and other Tiger football greats will be in attendance. For more information, please contact Andrew Hoffman at ahoffman@publiccounsel.net.
