‘The Sandman’ is a short film featuring the Trona, California High School Football team as they train and go through Hell Week in preparation for the upcoming Fall 2015 season. Directed by Diego Contreras. Created for the http://bit.ly/1Izxc8P series | No. 7 Inspired by the biblical story of Jericho, where the Israelites marched and shouted around the fortified wall of an impenetrable city for 7 days, and 7 times on the 7th day. As the army shouted, the walls collapsed, and they took over the city. The film presents the Trona team doing their powerful chants 7 times as they prepare to go to battle against teams much larger than their own. It’s been an honor getting to know and hang out with these kids and the beautiful people of Trona. I’ve been heavily inspired by the coach and his team’s passion, faith, and brotherhood. I hope this film can inspire others as much as they inspired me. — Director: Diego Contreras Producer: Jens Jacob Co-Producer: Scott Davis Director of Photography: Daniel Stewart Editor / Color / Sound Design: Diego Contreras Production Manager: Cara Venter Gaffer: Keitaro Cloward Location Audio Mixer: Mathew Williams Production Company: Sypher Films Director Representation: Bullitt Featuring The Trona Sandman: Coach Curtis Boutte Asst.
