While playing for the school, he rose to national prominence. The film (which Willmott produced, directed, and co-wrote with Scott Richardson) hums with intellectual energy from the start, including discussions about the art of basketball itself. The first scene is a brief general introduction set in 1907, introducing Forrest, a fiercely competitive University of Kansas player (Phog). And there is Allen, who talks with his athletic supervisor, the game’s inventor, James Naismith, about his desire to become a basketball coach.

Release Date: 2 February 2015

Main Plot: This documentary film tells the incredible story of the band KANSAS and their miraculous journey from their gutted school bus to signing with music mogul Don Kirshner. Touring with QUEEN fights with Steven Tyler. Also, recording some of their era’s biggest albums and songs eventually led to global super-stardom. The prog rock legends Kansas started like most early 1970s Middle America bands. They had no advantage and no connections in the big city, but they were talented and determined to succeed. Miracles Out of Nowhere, directed by Charles Randazzo, tells the story of the band’s rise from obscurity to multi-platinum status. Still, it also portrays each of Kansas’ six members as caring, loyal, and genuine individuals. It’s a rare — and refreshingly honest — rock documentary.
