Don't know how many of you caught Brad and John Hennegan on ATRAB yesterday discussing their soon-to-be-debuted "The First Saturday in May". The brothers followed dozens of 2006 Derby hopefuls from their juvy season, and ended up with 5 participants including Barbaro, Jazil, Sharp Humor, Lawyer Ron and Brother Derek. The film unspools at DeNiro's Tribeca Film Festival Derby Week, and theexcellent Flash website provides details on the project.
The brothers are going to the Festival looking for a distribution deal, and I don't know what we can do to help get the film into wide release, but it's had very positive responses from those that have seen it.
