On episode No.98 of The unTITLED Podcast, a conversation with documentary film director Carrie Stett. Carrie directed the Candace Parker-produced documentary "Title IX: 37 Words That Changed America" which was released in April, and the documentary short "First Down" which tells the story of a girl's football team in Utah fighting for a league of their own. "First Down" is currently making its rounds on the film festival circuit, with an upcoming wide release. We begin with Carrie sharing how her relationship with sports began, when her creative interests intersected sports and the non-linear path that led her to documentary filmmaking (1:25); As we shift to discussing "First Down", Carrie talks about what draws her to non-fiction work, her personal relationship with the sport of football, the genesis of "First Down", and how she approached the storytelling within (12:03); We then talk about football and how media and societal expectations have shaped women and their involvement in the sport, how it's changing and what the future may look like (17:52); Before discussing "Title IX: 37 Words That Changed America" - her involvement in the project, Candace Parker and why the story is both unique and essential (35:52); To close it out, the 98th edition of "Player Voicemail" (45:04).
