ESPN Films Premieres “The Marinovich Project”

Jingle EJ — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:06:08 +0000

Jingle Punks is more than happy to let you know that ESPN Films‘ “The Marinovich Project” – a really special Documentary with a fully scored landscape solely from the Jingle Punks studio, will be premiering this Saturday, December 10 at 10p EST on ESPN. This comes from Film-makers (and friends) Andrew Stephan and John Dorsey as well as the great folks at ESPN Films. The score traces the nuances, heartbreak and triumph of Todd’s story with a palette that stretches from Neil Young influenced boozy SoCal rock on through to emotional atmospheric soundscapes and everything in between. Give it a watch – it’s excellent.

From birth, Todd Marinovich was raised with a defined purpose of creating the perfect athlete. Trained by his father, Marv, a former pro football player and a strength and conditioning guru, the young Marinovich was meticulously engineered and nurtured into a star quarterback. When it came to performance, Marv expected perfection and Todd delivered. He was dubbed “Robo QB,” and his performance initially lived up to the name as he set passing records in high school, vied for the Heisman while at USC and ultimately was selected in the first round of the 1991 NFL draft by his hometown Los Angeles Raiders. But two years later, he was out of the NFL, a full-blown drug addict in search of a life beyond football. “The Marinovich Project” tells the unvarnished story of Todd’s unique ascent to stardom, the dark descent that followed and the complicated father-son bond throughout, ultimately answering the question “What went wrong with Todd Marinovich?”
