Please see the press release after the jump. I am so happy for the team that created and produced Kicking It. To make a film that will be in theaters, in DVD format, streamed and then on cable via ESPN around the world is such a great honor. We are so pleased to bring this message of hope and one that highlights the goodness in mankind and the power of sports to change and reclaim lives. This film is for all of the people that help the homeless and treats the characters in our film with respect and dignity which they so well deserve.

I am a very lucky and happy indie filmmaker. I have now worked on two films as producer and have gotten both into theaters; on to TV and cable; and out in DVD. Both have been well received by critics and by audiences. Wow – this is humbling.

Why is that? I think everyone gets lost in the numbers. Drill deeper. Money isn

I am just sad and almost speechless at the news of this mock tribunal. This publicity stunt is the worst kind of media journalism. It is undignified and unfair to the survivors of the Nanking massacre. Will we never learn from history?

Here is a Nanking widget done by Lou Reed. This is very cool and easy to snag and use. Check it out.
