Across the Field is a documentary examining the lives of Ohio State University football fanatics. The film is a balancing act between the negative and the positive that people put themselves through in order to prove their allegiance to a team. From the intense riots to the tailgating rituals, it's a look into the spectacle and hoopla surrounding the game and the fans that live it, twenty-four hours a day. The film was shot over the course of four days in Columbus Ohio leading up to one of the biggest football games of all time. The number one ranked Ohio State Buckeyes faced off against their arch-rival, the number two ranked Michigan Wolverines - the latest installment of a rivalry with Michigan that spans back a hundred plus years. A rivalry that ESPN has called the greatest in all of sports. These are the best damn fans in the land.
