PhilBoxing.com


?Marvel & ESPN Films Present 1 of 1 ? Origins? Beginning on Friday, July 10

Additionally, feature-length documentary ?1 of 1 ? Genesis? will premiere on ESPN on Tuesday, July 14

Starting Friday, July 10, Marvel Entertainment and ESPN Films are premiering ?1 of 1 ? Origins,? the short film series that gives viewers a unique look at some of the world?s most successful athletes by mixing the award-winning non-fiction style of ESPN Films with original Marvel art, design and creative animation. All eight films will have a television premiere and will also be released on the ESPN 30 for 30 Facebook page the same day.

Directed by Emmy-winning director/producer Eric Drath (30 for 30 ?No Mas,? Assault In The Ring), ?1 of 1 ? Origins? contains all-new interviews with some of the top athletes in the world. Each short film focuses on a single athlete, all of whom have, like all Marvel Super Heroes, a defining story of the origin of their powers in their ascent to greatness in their sport.

?I could not ask for more collaborative and creative teams to work with than those at ESPN Films and Marvel,? said Drath. ?It was truly amazing to work with such incredible athletes for this series and to learn of their moments of self-discovery.?

The series kicks off with a film on Colin Kaepernick that will be shown during the July 10 episode of His & Hers that will be telecast from San Diego Comic-Con with Jemele Hill and Michael Smith at 2 p.m. ET on ESPN2. The remaining ?1 of 1 ? Origins? short films will launch across various ESPN programs including SportsCenter and coverage of the Home Run Derby and British Open. They will also be accessible digitally on 30 for 30?s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/espn30for30) and on Marvel.com.
