 David and Michael Neelsen | The film-making father and son team of David and Michael Neelsen spoke to us of their 2012 film, Last Day at Lambeau. The film covers the turmoil related to Favre’s departure from the Green Bay Packers in 2008 and his last game at Lambeau as a Viking in October 2010. Human drama off the playing field was the order of the day. A beloved quarterback who’d helped resurrect the Packers from mediocrity. Club management concerned whether their 38-year-old QB still had it … and whether it was time to turn to the young Aaron Rodgers. The fans split between their love for Favre and their belief in Packer management. And Favre himself sending very mixed signals about his desire to continue. Nobody in Wisconsin can forget. The film takes us behind the scenes with lots of interviews and good insights about how the fans chose sides. The film is viewable on Vimeo. |
