The Calling received national attention when it was distributed to public television stations through NETA during the 2005 - 2006 season. The Calling also received its film festival premiere at the new Hampshire Film Expo in late 2005. On hand at the showing in Portsmouth were executive producer Chris Choma and line producer Logen Zimmerman, which I also happened to attend. Questions abounded concerning the state of intercollegiate sports, the history of our nation's sporting events and current media considerations regarding sporting in general. Though the director, Justin Zimmerman, was not there, his crew did a wonderful job of expanding on what makes the film so compelling -- the fact that the current crop of rowers participate in the sport not because they believe it will yield them money or fame, but because they love the pureness of the sport. The fact that the documentary delves into the roots of this "ultimate amateur" sport -- that the 1852 Harvard and Yale rowers started the competition out of pure fun but wound up fighting against each other in the Civil War -- made the film, and the questions, that much more compelling.
