The Harder Way

No diggity, no doubt. Penny Rising.

As children of the glorious 1990's we were all big fans of Nike's Lil Penny, so the chance to work with the real life (big) Penny was truly exciting. The Harder Way is a 12 part docu-series for ESPN+ that follows NBA all-star Penny Hardaway in his second season as the University of Memphis head basketball coach. Memphis is a basketball city, and with a historic recruiting class and high profile NBA coaches, the city's expectations for the team are sky high.

As producers and editors on the project, we collaborated closely with ESPN+ and SpringHill Entertainment to craft original and organic story arcs not typically found in a sports docuseries.  With an eye towards character development over courtside action, the series is a one of a kind look at the people who make up a premier NCAA program.  

Kicking off the season with a recruiting scandal and ending it early with the (first) COVID-19 lockdown, the season was a disappointment on the court, but made for great television nonetheless.
