As the student involvement, sponsorship, and interest in the Documentary Center grows, production ideas continue to develop. Our next project will take us in a completely different direction. This project will explore "The Quest For The Slam Dunk." With an ambitious attitude and outstanding on-court talent, Sylvia Crawley of the WNBA's Portland Fire will guide this new production on the journey of the modern American woman pursuing an athletic career.
This production will look at the fascination and allure Americans attribute to the slam dunk. The slam dunk is an icon inbasketball and a staple of the game. The magical dunk has never been accomplished in the WNBA; Sylvia Crawley stands out as the one who could break the slam dunk barrier. Shooting on this production began with a trip to Portland on June 20th.
On this trip, the crew recorded interviews with Sylvia and also taped the game where the Portland Fire played the Houston Comets. This game held high stakes. At the important game, Crawley met the Comet's Michelle Snow on the court. Snow is the other contender for the first slam dunk. The two titans of the WNBA had their showdown and competed face-to-face -- both seeking that first dunk.
This will be the story of a woman athlete, a woman who embodies athletic talent coupled with dedication and sophistication. The Sylvia Crawley story will encapsulate the contemporary woman achieving her dreams and striving to meet her goals. Viewers of the documentary will be able to relate to her life experiences because of her dedication and the pursuit of her goals which are profoundly inspirational.
