NFL Films director shares what to expect from All Or Nothing series

[Sir Purr]

You’ve seen the trailer for the Amazon Prime video series “All or Nothing” featuring the Carolina Panthers, set to be released July 19.


Now hear from someone who played a large role in creating it.


“From a 30,000 foot view you get an inside look at an NFL team that no one has ever gotten. Period,” said NFL Films senior director Steve Trout. “That’s the broad stroke. Then what you see is full transparency from top to bottom. We were allowed everywhere, which doesn’t happen a lot.”


When the 2018 season began, and Carolina got off to a 6-2 start, Trout and the team of videographers and editors thought they were chronicling the story of a championship contender.


Then the story was flipped on its head as the Panthers lost seven in a row.


“Not every great film has a happy ending. You ride the roller coaster along with the players and coaches of what that season was – that exciting 6-2 start and then that finish,” Trout said. “There is something so compelling to both sides. To watch them go through a seven-game losing streak, there is something so compelling to be allowed in that. We did the Cardinals when they went 14-2 in 2015 and I would easily say this is more compelling.
