Full Court Press: A Glimpse into the Authenticity of Women’s College Basketball
In a world where female athletes are often portrayed in a flowery and watered-down manner, the upcoming docuseries “Full Court Press” offers an exciting and intense look into the lives of women’s college basketball players. Directed by filmmaker Kristen Lappas and produced by Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions and Words & Pictures in partnership with ESPN, the series provides unprecedented access to players such as Caitlin Clark, Kamilla Cardoso, and Kiki Rice during the 2023-24 women’s college basketball season.
One of the guiding principles of filmmaker Kristen Lappas is to create films that are authentic and uncensored, showcasing the intensity and passion of female athletes. She believes that women in sports are just as intense and dedicated as their male counterparts, and “Full Court Press” aims to challenge the notion that female athletes are always polite and vanilla.
