Exclusive: American rugby union is going under the doc series spotlight.
The sport’s North American professional league, Major League Rugby (Mlr), has struck a deal with indie film financier and producer Goldfinch to produce an all-access, multi-year series that’s been billed as an “unprecedented ten-year commitment.” This will chronicle the sport’s growth and development in the U.S.
Filming on the first season, Stars, Stripes and Scrums: The American Rugby Journey (working title) is underway and will focus on the Chicago Hounds team, while also exploring the sport at all levels across the States.

Fitting of the man who made “Faces Places,” a road trip movie alongside French New Wave icon Agnès Varda, to be chatting it up with Alfonso Cuarón, another highly regarded international filmmaker, before an interview with IndieWire at 50th Telluride Film Festival.
Seated at a coffee shop across the street from the theater currently screening his new film “Tehachapi,” one that just so happens to have one of his signature installation — a blown-up black and white photo of Varda and her hands peeking over the rooftop — staring back at him, artist and documentarian Jr can’t help but have his late friend on his mind.
“I feel she’s still with me. I feel like she prepared me for quite a journey and she took the time, those years that she taught me so much, and I knew at that time I could not process everything, but thank God it’s processing now,...
