Will Vincent Make It?
There’s no thought more persistent than an unrealized dream, no regret deeper than a missed opportunity and no loss greater than time... Which is why there’s no story more moving, more touching or more relatable than that of an underdog. When all odds are defied, our soul awakens and the human spirit comes alive.
Will Vincent Make It is a story about one man’s journey to become an NFL field goal kicker. At 43 years old, Vincent Pagazza makes a choice that changes his life forever. It is a risk that most people would not take or even try. It is against social norm because he is 43. But he quits his career as a TV Commercial Director that took years to establish, moves back home and starts kicking a football.
Although it is primarily football we see on the screen, football becomes the vehicle for Vincent to really understand what's behind his decisions today, and why he made those choices in the past that have haunted him for years.
Will Vincent Make It is a story that we all relate to. It is about second chances, mistakes, and discovery. It is about pursuing your dreams no matter what others may think. But most of all it is about facing yourself so that you can become the person you want to be.

OUR GOAL FOR THE FILM:
We wish to get the film out to as many people as possible. This is a film with a universal message of hope and believing in yourself, which takes place in the world of football, but carries over into all facets of life. It is a story that will inspire all who see it. Independent filmmakers have such an active role when it comes to distributing their films. Our plan is to take the film on tour throughout the country with Vincent and the involved NFL players, interacting with the fans that helped make this possible.
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DON’T REACH OUR GOAL:
If we don't raise our goal, we don't get anything. Donors pledge the amounts, but don't actually pay until the goal is reached and the funding deadline has passed. We want to avoid this, so please spread the word. Everything helps! When we meet our goal we will begin licensing the rights and finish the editing so that we can send you the DVD's and merchandise as soon as possible.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
This film is only going to be possible with the help of you (football fans, independent film fans, and anyone who loves a positive, inspiring story). We want this to be your film just as much as it is ours. The more people who participate, the more chance we have of getting the story out. To help out, please Twitter it, "Friend" Vincent on Facebook, or email this Kickstarter link and let your friends, teammates, supporter groups, and co-workers know about the film and this campaign. We would love for people to get involved on a local level. Email willvincentmakeit@gmail.com to get more information and become involved.
