Prayer Warrior: Four Days with Frankie Luvu

Synopsis

FILMMAKERS IN ATTENDANCE!

In the fall of 2023, a small team traveled down to Charlotte, North Carolina to capture some
interviews with Frankie Luvu, a Panther Linebacker originally from the American Samoa Islands.
What we didn’t realize before the trip was that his family and friends had traveled into town that same weekend. There was a crew of over 20 people, that included his mom and dad, whom had not seen him in 4 years.
What we captured over a four day period became much more than a simple agency project. It became a character study on a professional athlete reaching the prime of his career. What we were welcomed into was an American Samoan culture that is built on love, and an athlete that is at the center of the hopes and dreams of so many.

NOTE: The in person screening of this film will also include the film, "Minnesota Lynx Commissioner's Cup".
