    NEW YORK -- (SPW) --
    Process, a NYC-based film and branded content production company, recently collaborated with Adidas and ESPN Films to create “Pioneers,” a series of three cinematic short documentary films. Each film highlights a professional sports figure and debuts today on ESPN.go.com with The Mark Gonzales Ride,here, directed by Marah Strauch (Sunshine Superman). Gonzo will also air on SportsCenter on Friday, December 18th in the 6-7PM EST segment. 
     
    Two additional films due out later this week include (we will follow-up with links once each is live):
     
    ►  Wednesday, December 16th: The Fosbury Flop directed by Clubhouse (Ballplayer: Pelotero; Schooled: The Price of College Sports)
     
    ►  Thursday, December 17th: Royal in Hollis directed by Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini (American Splendor; The Nanny Diaries)
     

    The creative teams set out to make the films in the spirit of ESPN Films’ acclaimed 30 for 30 series while also focusing on Adidas’ promotion of extraordinary individuals. The films were designed to be highly cinematic, with minimal to no product shots, and to each feel different and unique. It was important to Process, who developed the films’ creative approaches, that the filmmaking styles of each piece reflect the subjects and their identities. 
     
    Royal in Hollis tells the story of former NBA point guard Royal Ivey from his upbringing in Queens, to being the 37th pick of the 2004 draft, to being NBA journeyman, to now being a community leader. The Fosbury Flop is a stylized, whimsical account of gold medal-winning highjumper named Dick Fosbury as he went from a track & field nobody to redefining the modern highjump. Lastly, The Mark Gonzales Ride celebrates skateboarding pioneer Mark Gonzales, his personality, his motivation, and the history that became his legend.
     
    “While each of the films is distinctive, they all deal with original thinkers, all people who charted unique paths and live outside conventions and rules,” says Tim Perell, CEO of Process.
     
    A 30 Minute Compilation of all three shows will air on ESPN, Sunday, December 20th, at 6pm EST and ESPN2, Saturday, December 26th, at 2pm EST. Let me know any questions you may have and we look forward to hearing from you.

Jennifer was so much fun to be with on set. She’s super ‘real,’ kind, and extremely funny. We had a great day together. She was collaborative and nailed her performances with ease.
