This week we're joined by filmmaker, director, and show runner for C13Originals' Gangster Capitalism, Zak Levitt! Zak is a two-time Emmy, Peabody, Clio, and NAACP Image Award winner, and a fantastic documentarian that spent months investigating Liberty University and the Falwell family for season 3 of Gangster Capitalism. We were blown away by his team's work in the show, and we really enjoyed picking his brain!   For more information about Zak and his work, visit his website at www.zaklevitt.com. You can find Gangster Capitalism, as well as other fascinating C13Originals shows wherever you listen to podcasts.

Hailing out of Woodstock New York, Zak Levitt's  love of basketball landed him a job in the Miami HEAT video room right next to future Hall of Famer Eric Spoelstra. Levitt than took his love of sports and storytelling to NBA Entertainment where long nights in the edit bay led him to become their lead director on some of their most formidable documentaries.Including the highly anticipated 20 year anniversary documentary on the Dream Team.  Zack tells us what it was like to work with 11 Hall of Famers to share their memories of the 1992 Olympic Experience in Barcelona.  We then transition to a documentary that I truly enjoyed on Julius the Doctor Erving.  This doc was more than just a biopic piece.  Zak was able to get the Doctor to open up about so much more than just basketball.  And lastly we touch on Zak's highly acclaimed 30 for 30 Bad Boys. On the Detroit Pistons teams for the late 80's and early 90's.  You won't want to miss a moment of the conversation on this episode of Beyond the Lens presented by Diesel Films.

“Big Papi” brings the Sox two more titles. But along the way, the obstacles become much bigger. He has one of the worst slumps of his career, the media calls for his release, and finally, he's named in a PED scandal that rocks baseball and Papi's life. In typical Big Papi fashion, he bounces back, but then things get much darker in Boston in April of 2013. David Ortiz speaks for all of us when he addresses the city in its most trying moment, following the Marathon Bombing, and in doing so, he ingrains himself into the fabric of the city. Papi dominates the World Series that year to culminate an emotional season, and ultimately, he changes the generations old perception in Boston of what a hero looks and sounds like.​ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Big Papi” becomes an "Idiot." His personality puts him at the center of the Sox's crew of hilarious misfits, and he is the key ingredient. His power carries the team, miraculously, to its first World Series title in 86 years. His confidence immediately washes away decades of dread in The Town that seemed to never catch a break. The Sox finally stand up to the bullies, "The Curse" is broken, and in doing so, Papi becomes a sensation in Boston, and a Red Sox immortal. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ortiz goes from rock bottom, after the death of his mother and his unceremonious release by the Minnesota Twins, to a chance encounter that would change the trajectory of his life forever. But once again, the road for David Ortiz to become "Big Papi" had its obstacles. Certainly, the New York Yankees were one of them. Another, a tradition of losing in heartbreaking fashion would, once again find a new and creative way to break Red Sox Nation's collective heart. Along the way, take a deep dive into the "The Curse," and learn what it's really all about.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the tough neighborhoods of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, David Ortiz, through the persistence of his father, takes to the game that is in his and all Dominican boys' DNA. Assimilating to the United States and the Major League game itself, however, is a more difficult process. Ortiz must navigate his way through a new culture and language, a new relationship, a team that won't allow him to be himself, and ultimately, the tragic loss of his mother.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
