Join TSL Workshops: https://tslworkshops.circle.so
How do you turn a real-life moment into a movie — without studio backing or a big festival launch?
Jeff talks with The Bragg Brothers about making PINBALL: THE MAN WHO SAVED THE GAME, an indie biopic about GQ journalist Roger Sharpe, who helped overturn New York’s ban on pinball in 1976.
They share how they spotted the story’s potential, built trust with Roger and their financier MPI, and crafted a fun, visually bold film — complete with narration and performances from major talent like Mike Faist (CHALLENGERS).
If you’re developing a true story or curious how two filmmakers turned a niche moment into a breakout debut, this episode is for you.
