Sue Bird is an undeniable basketball legend. Many already know it, but it’s time to further cement her icon status and massive impact on the sport via a documentary feature, Sue Bird: In the Clutch.
As described by Sarah Dowland in her director’s statement, “At every level Sue Bird delivers. She is competitive, driven, and relentless. She is also willing to use whatever agency she has to change the world for the better.” In the Clutch highlights Bird’s epic career with a heavy focus on her 21st and final year in the WNBA. By revisiting her journey, the documentary digs into what drove Bird to become one of the greatest point guards to play the game, and how she came to the conclusion that it was time to bring that significant chapter of her story to a close by retiring.
Shortly before Sue Bird: In the Clutch celebrated its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, Bird, Dowland, producer Emily Singer Chapman and executive producer Jay Ellis visited the Collider interview studio brought to you by Film.io to detail the shocking amount of rejection they faced trying to get the film off the ground, and how they powered through it. Check out this interview learn all about how CC Sabathia inspired Bird to rethink what it meant to retire, why Dowland and the team had an enormous amount of creative freedom while making the movie, and loads more.
