We have captured the wins and the losses, on the field and off. We have been trusted by so many teachers, coaches, parents, and students, all living in the immediate wake of the George Floyd murder, and the complexities of trying to survive and find joy in very challenging times. I have so much love and respect for the Minneapolis North community and it is my hope that through BOYS IN BLUE we may get funderstandingdings of these issues and find paths to empathy and hope.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>An acclaimed director, producer, writer, and actor, Berg is also the founder of the scripted entertainment production company, Film 44, and co-founder of unscripted entertainment production company, Film 45, and commercial production company, Film 47.
