Evoking a cinema verite feel not found in most sports documentaries,
FAST BREAK examines the 1977 Trailblazers in a surprisingly personal and
compelling fashion. Inter-cutting excerpts from the 1977 playoff /
championship season, the film steps outside of the basketball court, and
into the everyday lives of the Trailblazers, as well as their coach
Jack Ramsey. Whether it’s biking the Oregon coast with Bill Walton,
hosting a kids basketball camp with Dave Twardzik, or joking with
Maurice Lucas at the pool – FAST BREAK lets the players speak for
themselves: about basketball, life and playing in Portland.
SPECIAL GUEST Q&A: Oregonian sports writer Jason Quick will discuss the film and the 2015-16 Trail Blazers..org
