From Award-Winning Filmmakers, Hunter Weeks and Josh Caldwell (10 MPH, 2007) comes the hilarious, offbeat, and all-encompassing portrayal of fantasy football. 10 YARDS captures the phenomenon of fantasy football in our society with specific focus on wacked-out j.fred’s INTERGALACTIC CHAMPIONSHIP League, where the top prize is a box of Twinkies®. As the season progresses, filmmakers Hunter & Josh (both members of j.fred’s league) travel the country interviewing a variety of diverse fantasy football leagues, NFL players, commentators, and the guys who started it all in 1963. From all women’s tackle football to Mexican mariachi bands, get ready for some of the best camaraderie ever in this 90-minute fantasyland.

I thought this movie was very well done and personally hit home for me as my friends and I all start to move to separate areas of the country. My friend and I each recently watched this movie and during our fantasy draft talked about how even after some of us have moved we all came back for the draft and how I literally made friends with one of the participants at a draft a few years ago.

The history of fantasy football was a mystery to me and seeing the players reaction to it was equally entertaining for me but what made this movie special were (and I assume are) those personal connections between these friends and the care they all have for each other. I thought it was done very well and am very excited to buy and watch 10 MPH in the coming days. I hope you guys keep producing great movies like this (and I hope 10 MPH is as good as this). I can only imagine how hard making a movie like this could be and somehow you guys made a movie I thought was well done and hit close to home for the many of us who play fantasy football with friends near and far.

I found 10 YARDS much more entertaining than 10 MPH. If I were stuck on a desert island and had to choose between 10 YARDS and 10 MPH I would choose 10 YARDS. Hunter, Josh, and I are good friends and I have seen them come along way. If you really pay attention to this film, you’ll notice much more depth, humor, emotion, and plot with 10 Yards then you got with 10 MPH. 10 MPH is an interesting idea (mine) and got people’s attention because of the Segway but 10 Yards stands on its own as a better all around movie.

Here are two other misconceptions about 10 YARDS:

The reason 10 Yards didn’t play the festival circuit is because playing rinky-dink film festivals is a waste of time.

10 YARDS is not a quirky character study. So comparisons to King of Kong or Word Wars are irrelevant. This is a sports movie more akin to Murderball or Pumping Iron.
