Default Hennegan's "1st Saturday" Film
Don't know how many of you caught Brad and John Hennegan on ATRAB yesterday discussing their soon-to-be-debuted "The First Saturday in May". The brothers followed dozens of 2006 Derby hopefuls from their juvy season, and ended up with 5 participants including Barbaro, Jazil, Sharp Humor, Lawyer Ron and Brother Derek. The film unspools at DeNiro's Tribeca Film Festival Derby Week, and theexcellent Flash website provides details on the project.

The brothers are going to the Festival looking for a distribution deal, and I don't know what we can do to help get the film into wide release, but it's had very positive responses from those that have seen it.

That little Romans kid in the movie looks like a trip. It says he is in elementary school (Schaffner Elementary) at a school about a block from the house I grew up in. Had I known there was a teacher there that lets kids skip school and go to the track in exchange for a bet.....


Speaking of little kids in movies, has anyone seen the short Funny or Die clip of Will Ferrell and the 2 yr old landlord? That's called "The Landlord" and I highly recommend it.

With the commercial success of "Seabiscuit" in theatre and DVD, and the Barbaro connection in this movie, I hope this finds distribution. The trailer is exciting!

And the clip from the film they put up on Youtube honoring Barbaro, where Matz introduces his young son to the horse - that's what it's all about. Even BTW would get a little tear welling up in his eye!
