To help make Kentucky film history (and finish the first documentary about the epic UK-Louisville hoops rivalry), please back us on kickstarter! Your kickstarter donations are paying for licensing the university logos and archival footage, in addition to covering various post-production finishing expenses. So far we have raised more than $25,000, but we only have two days left to raise $15,000, so we can hit our goal of $40,000. If we don’t hit the goal and only raise $38,000 or $39,000, we don’t keep a penny and all your awesome pledges will be returned!

So tell your brother, sister, mother, aunt, uncle, grandpa, grandma, nephew, niece, cousin, blood brother, librarian, postal worker, gym teacher, coach and local police officer about this one-of-a-kind movie that celebrates one of Kentucky’s greatest annual traditions: the UK-UofL basketball game!

Dueling Barbers

In Louisville, KY, our cameras go inside WAG’s barbershop, a “divided” establishment where UK and Louisville fans once sat side by side. Boone clipped the Wildcat fans, and Mark Wagner and Mark Wagner Jr. clipped the Cardinals supporters. You may remember them from Adam Lefkoe’s “The Rivalry” YouTube channel.

After the 2012 UK national championship, the barbers butted heads, and Boone struck out on his own. “Designed by Miracles” was the result, a barbershop with an interior painted entirely blue and white about twenty blocks east of WAG’s on Broadway Avenue in downtown Louisville. For Red V. Blue we check in with Boone and the Wagner family before reuniting the barbers for a passionate debate on UK-UofL basketball.

Filming the Big Game 2011

Big news: We will be filming the big game in Lexington, KY this year. So look out for producers Wade Smith and PG Banker and give ’em hell! Our goal for this year’s big game shoot is to get some great fan interviews. Hopefully, we may even bump into one of our divided super fan families, who we will follow around the day of the Big Game in 2012. But even if we don’t bump into you on the 31st, please contact us if your family is divided on both side of Kentucky’s college basketball divide. We would love to hear from you.
