Mazama Productions, Ltd. presents Fast Break, TONIGHT, September 23rd at 7:30 at the Maysles Cinema. This presentation is curated and presented by Laura Coxson (Producer of Albert Maysles’ Iris).
Evoking a cinema verite feel not found in most sports documentaries, Fast Break examines the 1977 Portland Trailblazers basketball team in a surprisingly personal and compelling fashion. Inter-cutting excerpts from the 1977 playoff / championship season, the film steps outside of the basketball court, and into the everyday lives of the Trailblazers, as well as their coach Jack Ramsey. Whether it’s biking the Oregon coast with star center Bill Walton, hosting a kids basketball camp with Dave Twardzik, or joking with Maurice Lucas at the pool – Fast Break lets the players speak for themselves: about basketball, life and playing in Portland.
Maysles Cinema is located at 343 Lenox Ave, New York, NY 10027.(212) 582-6050
