EXCLUSIVE: Former NFL player Andrew Hawkins and his Parks Tower Studios banner have entered into a co-production agreement with RTG Features
The film to be produced by Andre Gaines off a script by Krystin Ver Linden examines the underdog’s improbable, obstacle-ridden three-year odyssey to join the league, which had the 5-foot-7 wide receiver working at a wind turbine factory and as a caddy at a country club, interning with the Detroit Lions, coming in as runner-up on Michael Irvin’s football reality show,, and playing two seasons for the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes – all eventually leading him to a contract with the Cincinnati Bengals...
Following his eight seasons of professional football, ending in 2017, Hawkins has gone on to a successful career in media and entertainment as a Sports Emmy Award-nominated on-air talent for ESPN, Amazon Studios, NFL Media, Discovery, Roku and Uninterrupted.
“When we started talking about expansion outside of basketball there was only one name on our list,” said Aron Phillips, who was promoted to CEO of RTG Features in January. “Hawk stands in a league of his own as it relates to creative, development and business, and we couldn’t be more excited to help bring his vision for Parks Tower to life.”
Added Hawkins in a statement to Deadline, “At Parks Tower, we are story first and we believe the best stories in sports and culture are told from the points of view fans aren’t used to seeing. There isn’t a storyteller I respect more than Aron, and our shared passion for elevating unique perspectives made this partnership a no-brainer.”
