Kurt Vonnegut Explains Why You'll Like "Unbelievable is Believable Here"

Kurt Vonnegut's rejected senior thesis broke down stories into simple curves.  It was rejected by his professors at the University of Chicago because, "it was so simple and looked like too much fun."  Vonnegut later gave talks on the topic, and in the video below (marker 2:14) he explains the curve of "the most popular story in our civilization"...the "Cinderella" story.

Sports Illustrated called the 2011 VCU rams "the most improbable Final Four team ever."  That team defied the odds and the pundits for three (dare I say magical?) weeks.  They beat 5 BCS schools, and broke the NCAA tournament record for made 3-pointers.  Statistically speaking, they played out of their gourds (get it?) for 5 games.  The odds of them making the Final Four were 820-1.  Their Final Four opponent, Butler, was a 37-1 long shot by comparison.  And from my perspective, they did it in a way that was true to the spirit of the VCU and greater Richmond communities.  There have been, and will be, other Cinderella's.  This film is a humble attempt at capturing the magic of one of them.

"Unbelievable is Believable Here" is premiering at the Richmond International Film Festival in Richmond, VA on Sunday March 2, 2014.  Tickets can be purchased on the festival's website.
