Hi, my name is Jody Whitehawks, executive producer with 9 seconds. A couple of years ago, a pair of wonderful writers approached me with a script that they had been working on for over 15 years. That script is called 9 Seconds. 9 Seconds is the true story of Houston McTeeer. He spent his youth dodging raindrops from his leaky ceiling and racing the freight train that charged past his home. It was there that Houston developed his gift to run faster than any human who has ever lived. In 1975, as a high school junior, he stunned the sports world when he tied the world record in the 100-yard dash with a time of 9 seconds flat. His rise to start him was similarly fast. The magazine covers, jets setting around the world, hanging out with Muhammad Ali, all under the watchful eye of promoter Harold Smith. But it turns out he was one of the most notorious con men of the 20th century. Houston was left with no friends, no money, and nowhere to run. He turned to drugs, and within two years he was homeless on the beach in Santa Monica. After nearly a decade of sleeping on the sand, he reconnected with an old track friend, Swedish star Linda Hagling. With her help, Houston cleaned up and began an amazing comeback. For the past two years, we've been working tirelessly to get this film made. Finally, we got a break. I was able to get the script to a major studio. They read it and they loved it. Now they're asking me to attach actors and come back to them with a complete package. So in order to meet this challenge, we are about to embark on a crowdfunding campaign. Now this opportunity could very well be a once in a lifetime chance, and if there are tons of cool prizes for your participation, so no one walks away empty handed for helping out. So please, check us out, give what you can, and then pass the link on to as many friends as possible. If ever there was a story that deserved to be told, this is it. And with your help, we can finally bring this incredible story to life. Thank you.
