‘BS High’ Documentary in Production at HBO, Travon Free and Martin Desmond Roe to Direct
variety.comBreAnna Bell HBO is jumping into production on the upcoming “BS High” documentary. Travon Free and Martin Desmond Roe (“Two Distant Strangers”) have been named to direct the film, which will debut on HBO and be available to stream on HBO Max in 2023.
According to the documentary’s synopsis, the story follows the investigation that ensued after August 29, 2021, when the Bishop Sycamore Centurions, a presumed high school football team from Columbus, Ohio, took on perennial prep powerhouse IMG Academy.
The nationally televised game ended in the Centurions 58-0 loss, causing fans and audiences to question the legitimacy of the Bishop Sycamore program and the activities of now-fired head coach Roy Johnson.
However, the final score and a fired head coach turned out to be just the beginning of the story. Roe, who shares an Academy Award with Free for their 2020 short film, has a list of documentary credits which includes “Heist,” “We Are the Champions,” and “Wiz Khalifa: Behind the Cam.” Free was a writer for “The Daily Show” between 2012-2016.
