Where did all the big names in the soundtrack came from?
The soundtrack that was just released really just came together in the last couple of months. When the film was finished, I didn’t want to put new music into the film; I wanted to stick with the songs of the time, like what those guys were listing to at the time. So the soundtrack is an “inspired by” album. They brought in artists who had seen the film and got the message. I kind of look at the soundtrack as way to get the film message out there and hopefully get people into the idea. Tribeca: What was the biggest surprise in this whole process? This thing started in such an indie way. I guess it’s a surprise to see it through, that Coach Dru and all the guys let me into their lives when there was really no reason to. They really let me in, and I am just so amazed with how far the journey has come and how we all stuck together to do it. I saw a lot of parallels in my story with what they were doing. They took a chance on me, and I tried to pay that back by always maintaining that trust
