How We Pulled it Off

Pre-Production

We collaborated closely with our production partners and key contacts on the Navajo reservation to orchestrate an extended on-location shoot with the Chinle, Arizona boys’ basketball team. This involved meticulously managing travel logistics, crew scheduling, talent access, and budget constraints to ensure a seamless production.

Production

Our team dedicated several months to filming on and off the Navajo reservation, working with a tight-knit skeleton crew and immersing ourselves in the story as it unfolded around the talent. During pre-production and production, the project had yet to be acquired by Netflix, and its final home was still uncertain, but we remained determined to amplify this powerful story.

Post-Production

We had a robust in-house post-production team working days and nights to craft this story into a compelling six-episode series. We collaborated closely with Netflix executives, coordinated additional shoots in Arizona for crucial pickups, and navigated tight deadlines – adapting and refining the narrative as needed. Every aspect of post-production, from editing and story producing to supervision and motion graphics, was executed in our post-production facility in Old City, Philadelphia.
