Exclusive: The Shack author Wm Paul Young will develop and produce a feature film and TV anthology series based on the famed Christian-faith poem Footprints and based off the spec script by Vincent Prezioso.
Pic tells the story of a high school gridiron star raised by a single father who lacks the resources to send his son to college. The young man has a dream to be recruited by Michigan to play college football at the Division 1 level. That dream is met with overpowering obstacles starting with his father, a recent widower and New York City sanitation worker, who pushes his son to take the safer route and become a civil servant. Their conflict is intensified when outside forces also conspire against the wanna-be college athlete who begins to doubt everything important in his life — his father, his dream for the future, the purpose of life, and any sense of faith.
