Forever Strong

"Forever Strong" is a very powerful sports film that has a lot of heart. Filming took place in Utah, so although this movie is very different from what I have done in the past, the location is home to me because Utah is where all the HSM movies were filmed. The story focuses on the Highland Rugby team led by coach Larry Gelwix. I think the movie is a very inspirational story not only about sports but also about personal achievement. This movie is very story and character driven, and I'm glad that I had the chance to be a part of it. Sports fans will enjoy the movie because it really embodies a team spirit, but I also think that the movie is for anyone who wants to see an uplifting film.

Conflict arises when Rick finds himself playing against his old high school team coached by his father Neal Penning (Neal McDonough).
