My All American is the incredible true story of Texas football player Freddie Steinmark, who exemplified courage in the face of overwhelming adversity.
To carry the plot forward from the start of the 1968 season to the thrilling final games, Plucky was asked to create a football montage in the language of the period. Using original game programs, newspaper headlines, and football footage, the piece conveyed the thrilling run to the title.
The main on end titles give the audience a moment to regain their composure in the wake of the emotional climax of the film. Like the movie itself, the MOE had to honor the memory of the actual people portrayed in the film.
