The Extraordinary Tale of Jerry Galindo

A prominent Mexican soccer player whose career was cut short due to the discovery of a tumor and his journey to overcome the disease.

About the project

Working on location just a few miles from home base can be stressful, but imagine when you're thousands of miles away and in a different country.

The Process

Most recently Galindo became a coach for the Queretaro FC soccer club. This project tells the story of how he’s overcoming cancer and how he continues to contribute to the sport. The biggest challenge when filming abroad is limited access to equipment. On these types of shoots it’s critical to travel compactly. An additional challenge is the amount of personnel that make up the crew. Often it’s a pared down crew, and each person tends to multiple on set responsibilities.

The Result

The video is currently available on both the ESPN and ESPN FC websites.
