Basketball Mockumentary

Sorry, but I'm going to engage in a little shameless self-promotion.

I've been producing a web series about intramural basketball players called "Intramural Glory".
It's a scripted-reality mockumentary. You'll really have to watch it to know what that means, exactly.
YouTube made the first episode its #1 Featured Sports Video.
The Star Tribune gave it a nice mention, and the Southwest Journal did a two page spread on it.
Mr. Fun endorsed it on KFAN today.

If you like basketball, you should get a kick out of it.
We're a "semi-real" team playing in a very real league.

The season is officially underway. Episode 3 of Intramural Glory has been released, which includes interviews and footage from our first game.

Intramural Glory: Game One (8:57)

For those of you who are a bit behind in watching the hours of entertaining footage, we did one of those fancy “clips episodes.”

Intramural Glory: Best of the Worst (9:59)

What you can do to help:

We’ve had great response to the first episode (50,000+ people tuning in). We’re trying to do even better for the rest of the season. This is a passion for the director and the entire team is trying to reach out to our friends and family to help get that first round of viral spin going. If you like it or know someone that will, please pass it along. We figure that if everyone sends it to 3-5 friends, we might just be able to get the buzz going that we need to sustain our little experiment. I’d be happy if we had a million viewers a week, but then again, I’m pretty conservative. In addition, the more you comment and rank the episode, the higher it will appear on YouTube – tapping into their millions of members.

Thanks!

Thanks, guys!
If we ever make it into a movie, my dream is to get Shep to do the poster.
I get goose bumpy just thinking about it.

Hey- thanks sessone!
I didn't realize that Minnesotan's "talk funny" until I moved to Texas for awhile and everybody (in their southern accents) told me so.

Here is a short, funny instructional video.

Episode 7 of "Intramural Glory" is now available on YouTube.

I have to say, I think it's the best one yet.

Ace Schonrock's saga concludes, as he gets his shot at redemption.
After 65 years of wear and tear, including 47 years of alcoholism, does he still have game?
Will he reconnect with his high school sweetheart?
And, can he help Team Unglaublich get back to .500?

Ladies and Gentleman,
Several significant scenes involving Bobby "The Ledge" Ledger had to be cut from the last episode of "Intramural Glory".
The Ledge paid me a visit, and threatened to destroy me with his "awesomeness" for this slight.
I promised I'd make it up to him by giving him his own "special", so here it is- "Intramural Glory: Loving the Ledge".

Check it out here...

Rank, comment, favorite- and most importantly- share with friends.
