We chat with editor James K. Crouch about what he learned from editing the Tribeca feature film 12 Mighty Orphans<\/em> during COVID-19 lockdowns.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlights of this year\u2019s Tribeca Film Festival<\/a> is the heartwarming tale of \u201cthe Mighty Mites\u201d football team in 12 Mighty Orphans<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harkening back to period sports dramas like Remember the Titans<\/a><\/em>, Friday Night Lights<\/a><\/em>, and Seabiscuit<\/a><\/em>, 12 Mighty Orphans<\/em> tells the true Depression-era story of a ragtag football team of Fort Worth orphans that went from playing without shoes to playing for the Texas state championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, while the film includes a star-studded cast of A-listers like Luke Wilson<\/a>, Martin Sheen<\/a>, and Robert Duvall<\/a>, it was still an outsider’s production, shot on location in north Texas during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as revealed in a chat with 12 Mighty Orphans<\/em> editor James K. Crouch<\/a>, the final edit of the film actually benefited from the various setbacks and production lockdowns, as it gave Crouch<\/a>, director Ty Roberts<\/a>, and producer Houston Hill<\/a> a chance to deeper explore how to best build an inspirational, book-based period sports drama from the ground up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
