Kickstarter: The Improbable Road to the NFL Jameson Wang: The Next Level Asian American Quarterback Kickstarter
The documentary features Jameson Wang’s Road to the NFL. The film will spotlight the life and love of football of Asian American D1 college athlete Jameson Wang, while bringing awareness of the challenges faced by not passing the “eye test” -- that of looking like conventional quarterbacks.
Filmed in both New York and California, the story explores the personal journey of Asian American athlete Jameson Wang, and how he uses his cultural heritage to overcome adversity and achieve success both on the field and in the classroom.
The documentary will highlight the unique challenges faced by Jameson in the world of sports from youth, through college, both on and off the gridiron, instilling a powerful message about grit, determination, and the power of perseverance. The film will highlight diversity, equity, fairness, and inclusion obstacles of a college quarterback.
The film serves as an important medium to embrace diversity and promote inclusion in all aspects of life. It will exemplify the American Dream; the ideal that everyone can achieve true success through hard work, persistence, purpose, and drive.
Jameson Wang could very well be the next sports Cinderella story and you can be part of it by supporting this project!
