Orchestrating an Upset is relatively recent history, but it is one of the United State’s rare international wins in best-on-best play and it hasn’t gotten nearly the same treatment the Miracle has.

The US was 0-7 against Canada in previous Canada Cup tournaments and hadn’t beaten their northern rivals in 20 years.

State of Mind (working title)
Seeing as how I (Adam, Producer/Director) am a Christian, I want the world to know what that means and why it is important to me. But I asked myself, how could I dare ask someone to listen to what I have to say if I'm not first willing to listen to them. This idea started a journey toward meeting new people in the hopes of better understanding the diversity of ideas that bombard us all when dealing with any sort of religious/spiritual interest. We approach people on the streets, go undercover, and meet people in their homes, all in the effort to learn more about what makes them tick. The whole crew discovers new things on this journey and we pass on those lessons for feedback. We are aiming for a feature length film because of the amount of content that we have already gotten and anticipate in finishing production. We also throw in some lighthearted scripted scenes to entertain.
