NOWITZKI. THE PERFECT SHOT, following the story of Dallas Mavericks’ Dirk Nowitzki’s rise to international notoriety, premiered last night at the Dallas International Film Festival. The film brought in a huge crowd of film and basketball fans alike.

Nowitzki walked the red carpet, along with some of his closest friends and family. We chatted with Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban and head coach Rick Carlisle on the carpet about Nowitzki’s documentary and the recent season.

NOWITZKI. THE PERFECT SHOT screens again at the festival on Thursday (4/16) at 4:30 p.m. at the Angelika Film Center located in Dallas, TX. All ticket and screening information can be found on diff2015.dallasfilm.org.

I have been working as a film journalist since 2010, dividing the first four years between radio broadcasting and entertainment writing in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. In 2014, I entered Fresh Fiction (FreshFiction.tv) as the features editor. The following year, I stepped into the film critic position at the Denton Record-Chronicle, a daily North Texas print publication. My time is dedicated to writing theatrical film reviews, at-home entertainment columns, and conducting interviews with on-screen talent and filmmakers, as well as hosting a podcast devoted to genre filmmaking (called My Bloody Podcast). I've been married for ten happy years, and I have one son who is all about dinosaurs just like his dad.
