I went to the private screening they did for the movie up here in Vancouver. Amazing piece of film, even though it's not fully finished yet. Definitely a must-watch for all whenever it comes out.

Nick, here's hoping someone with deep pockets will finance you guys. I've gave whatever I can at the event.

[nicklewis222]

@waterboy99troop Thanks waterboy, glad you enjoyed it. The support means a lot! Keep spreading the word, the story is too good not to get out there. Just a matter of time

[laurentracyfilm]

I have chills!

[nicklewis222]

@laurentracyfilm Thanks Lauren, that means a lot to us. Here is a great article that was just written on the film

Actually I can't copy and paste it - just google Jay DeMerit UK Guardian

[wjaiv]

I will buy a copy when this becomes available! (Notice I said "will" and "when" not "would" and "if"). This looks too awesome not to be released in some format. I love Jay. What I know of his story is amazing, and I'm told I look like him. Win win.

[LeviDanielBarnes]

Where can I see this?

[screwattackg1]

@ussoccer26

Wow, get your fucking head out of your arse. DeMerit was decent, but he was only a very average footballer. To compare his story to something like Rocky is an absolute joke! And honestly, if yo don't agree with that then you're seriously deluded!

[ussoccer26]

@screwattackg1

The hell is your problem? Jay has accomplished more in this life than most of us, and it wasn't handed to him either. Why don't you fuck off.

[ussoccer26]

I put the trailer on my facebook and am pushing this movie hard. This is a story worthy of being told.

[jamesstaples666]

this is fantastic jay was an absoulute professional for watford he is sadly missed, glad he is finally getting some recognition, amazing story of a man who refuses to take no for an answer

[aviBlud]

[GSScasual]

@bistchen Spare us your condescending rants... Canada is not in a position to lecture the US on football or any other sport for that matter.

[philasyr]

[rhymeandreasoning]

HE IS HOT!

[MarshallSoccer20]

Amazing movie! Just won autographed cleats, signed by Jay Demerit, in a raffle!

[EastCoastin1]

Ive been a USA afficionado(thats spanish for fan) all my life. Being a hispanic American soccer fan brings a lot of haters, but this is what its all about. That Grind. Go USA!

[elpiojo1484]

What they couldn't make one about Clint Dempsey??

Still going to see this movie

[soundersbloke]

They are going to start making movies about the Cascadian teams of Seatttle Sounders, Portland Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps and soccer is going to be America's favorite sport. FOOTBALL RULES. Can't wait to watch this football movie!!!!
