April 2008 - With great sadness, we must share that we have lost a dear friend and cameraman who shot a great portion of the film, "From The 50 Yard Line". Bill Anweiler unexpectedly passed away last week due to a heart attack. He volunteered his time to shoot the film with us, and it is a huge loss to our "...50 Yard Line" family. One of the only times I saw Bill with tears in his eyes was after watching "From the 50 Yard Line". He was very proud of the film and mentioned it to whomever he met. If you were involved in the film, I'm sure you would remember him running around with the camera catching every shot. He was truly amazing !!

You can read more about him through the following link. A scholarship fund has been set up in his name for those who wish to keep his memory alive: http://www.blakehousemedia.com/BillAnweiler
