From the moment it hit the film festival circuit last fall to its nationwide ESPN premiere last Friday, Truth in 24 has generated a groundswell of enthusiasm among motorsports and movie fans alike.
Truth in 24 provides an unprecedented behind-the-scenes glimpse of the Audi Sport auto racing dynasty pushing to maintain its dominance at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race in France against a powerful new rival. Although Audi had claimed seven of the previous eight Le Mans competitions, its chances entering the 2008 race with the R10 were far from certain.
Truth in 24 marks the first time that NFL Films attempted to tackle an auto racing project. It is narrated by action film star Jason Statham and was co-developed by Intersport, the Chicago-based producer of award-winning sports programming.
The result of their teamwork is a film that has won wide acclaim earning praise as one of the best, if not the best, motorsports documentaries of all time. Truth in 24 has also earned awards at international film festivals in Fort Lauderdale and Tampa, Florida.
From the beginning it was important to us and, of course, important to NFL Films and Intersport to wind up with a film that told an honest and dramatic story, said Scott Keogh, Chief Marketing Officer at Audi of America. The barrage of questions weve fielded since Truth in 24 debuted at the Chicago and AFI Fest film festivals suggest that goal was achieved.
Truth in 24 isnt strictly for race fans, either. The superb storytelling of Emmy-winning NFL Films directors Keith Cossrow and Bennett Viseltear brings to life the human drama of a sport best known for its powerful machines.
