OPRAH WINFREY NETWORK passes on Field of Dreams Ghosts
Ghost Player movie was reviewed but not
selected for the new Oprah Winfrey Network
(OWN). "It was an exciting time knowing
the film was being considered for OWN, I
realize Ghost Player is not a cutting edge
type of film. It's just storytelling about a
great group of ballplayers from the Field of
Dreams and the effects they had on so many
different people. It was an honor just to be
considered", stated Joe Scherrman
producer of the movie Ghost Player: Relive
the Magic. "I would like to congratulate
OWN for picking the Family Affair
documentary."
OWN did acquire the rights to Family
Affair, an independent feature length
documentary film written and produced by
Chico David Colvard. Family Affair, said to
be an intensely personal documentary that
examines Colvard's compelling family history.
Family Affair is the first film to join
OWN's recently announced Documentary Film
Club. The Doc Club was created to spotlight
cinematic documentaries that can inspire and
entertain, and encourage emerging creative
voices to bring their stories to a mainstream
television audience on OWN.
"OWN is about real life stories of
self-discovery, inspiration and
transformation," said Chief Executive
Officer Christina Norman. "Family Affair
is exactly thata multi-layered, raw and
provocative family story. I applaud Chico
Colvard for his bravery in creating a deeply
personal film that shares with us his pain,
his anger and ultimately his
transformation."
Scherrman continues looking for a good
distribution fit for Ghost Player movie.
