    ‘THE STREET STOPS HERE’ TO SHOW AT RUTGERS



    “The Street Stops Here,” a documentary film chronicling legendary St. Anthony High School  basketball coach Bob Hurley Sr. and the journey of his team’s national record-setting 25th state championship season, has been selected to show at the New Jersey Fall 2009 Film Festival, which runs from September 4 – November 8, 2009.

    “The Street Stops Here” was selected as a finalist and will be up for numerous awards at the festival. The film is produced by Chicago-based TeamWorks Media (TWM), a sports and entertainment content company represented by Creative Artists Agency. TWM is currently seeking television distribution.

    There will be two public screenings of “The Street Stops Here” during the New Jersey Film Festival’s Fall Schedule (www.njfilmfest.com). Director Kevin Shaw will attend both screenings and be available to answer questions. Screening times and locations include:
    • Sunday, November 1, 7 p.m., Rutgers University, Scott Hall #123, 43 College Ave., New Brunswick, NJ 08901
    • Friday, November 6, 7 p.m., Rutgers University, Scott Hall #123, 43 College Ave., New Brunswick, NJ 08901

    The film is a portrait of the nation’s best high school basketball coach Bob Hurley Sr., and his career-long struggle to inspire and motivate his young and impressionable players and to help St. Anthony High School, a poor, inner-city Catholic school, keep its doors open. The film is a story about teenagers fighting their way out of underprivileged neighborhoods, armed with little more than a basketball and the hard wisdom of a fierce, demanding coach. A recent success story from Hurley’s program featured in the film, Mike Rosario, overcame adversity in the Jersey City projects and now attends Rutgers University.
