AFI Dallas International Film Festival - ‘Six Man, Texas’

(USA, 2007, 71 mins)

Directed By: Alan Barber

Most people understand that football requires 11 men on the field, but in small rural Texas towns and across the West, most communities can’t muster a full team to play. Six Man Football rules allow six men on the field. This is the real Friday Night Lights found in the small towns that love the game. The filmmakers document actual games, real practices, funny teenage players and coaches with “true grit” and a big hearts for their kids on the field. When one team looses a huge game, the coach gives the best prep talk you have ever heard.
