That initial documentary was called “4th Down” and examined the issues around the cancelation of the football program at UAB in late 2014. The film was distributed widely through the university, alumni and surrounding communities, and as a result of the attention it was getting, as well as the growing interest in reviving the football program, Cowart and Shikany decided to produce a feature-length documentary called “4th and Goal.” It was that project that led the pair to Richard Brooke, a producer with Raycom Sports. https://www.micheleforman.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-09-20 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6147b123e23e175afa5100e6/t/6147c537980651120377fd80/1558965382740/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg Contact https://www.micheleforman.com/press daily 0.75 2021-10-03 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6147b123e23e175afa5100e6/t/615a3193ac174d3f57c2d863/1633301674309/Screen+Shot+2021-10-03+at+5.39.37+PM.png Press - Make it stand out Michele Forman ’93 offers her UAB film students technical competency and ethical context. from “Documentarian” Harvard Magazine https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6147b123e23e175afa5100e6/t/614fb201d4ddcb66a72b8957/1558965382740/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg Press https://www.micheleforman.com/home daily 1.0 2021-09-26 https://www.micheleforman.com/home/project-two-x73af monthly 0.5 2021-09-26 https://www.micheleforman.com/home/project-one-scldc monthly 0.5 2021-09-26 https://www.micheleforman.com/film daily 0.75 2021-10-03 https://www.micheleforman.com/film/project-six-wfa5b monthly 0.5 2021-10-03 https://www.micheleforman.com/film/project-five-fpz3m monthly 0.5 2021-10-03 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6147b123e23e175afa5100e6/t/615a1a3473282d56ef1ff114/1633294939440/8a1ed634b41fde3800f43b1ab8cd8b9c.jpg Film - 4 Little Girls - 4 Little Girls Associate Producer on Spike Lee’s feature-length documentary on the 1963 bombing of Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham. “On September 15, 1963, a bomb destroyed a black church in Birmingham, Alabama, killing four young girls who were there for Sunday school.

The film offers an intimate view into the lives of three lesbian families in Alabama as they set precedents and fight the courts for their children during the time that federal marriage equality comes to a head. This is the story of a powerful community living with both frustration and hope in a conservative state, where the line between church and state is often blurred. https://www.micheleforman.com/film/project-six-wfa5b-xemdp monthly 0.5 2021-10-03
