Touching Base was produced by Scott Henry of Orange Lion Productions, with the help of an outstanding production team.  From concept to completion, the film took over three years, and is currently seeking distribution.

After 6+ years as a staff worker at ESPN—in which he garnered multiple Emmys and a Peabody—Scott formed a production company with Marc Kinderman, an equally decorated ESPN producer, and set out to "make it” in the business.  A documentary project in 2002-03 surrounding the Bataan Death March in World War II altered Scott’s perspective, as he experienced a whole new side of storytelling, and, simultaneously, realized a new side of himself.

In the succeeding years, Scott pursued similar ‘value’ projects such as short documentaries on Hurricane Katrina clean-up, an after-school center for at-risk kids, a half-way house for released inmates, and work with national non-profits Save the Children and Feed My Starving Children. But nothing had the depth and challenge of spending so many days in so many states with the Saints.

Scott writes: “To document the Saints journey has been its own journey, filled with moments of great joy, frustration, challenge, and success. Any worthwhile project will contain large doses of all of those emotions (sometimes within the same day, it seems). It’s been an amazing experience, and it’s only been so because the Saints players and families have let us into their homes, and lives, and because many state and federal prisons have seen the value of this story told to the large masses outweighs the complexities of having a camera behind prison walls. To God, and all of those individuals, go the praise.”
