In the documentary, Chesney interviews dozens of football’s most successful commentators, coaches and players, including Joe Namath, Peyton Manning, Tony Dungy and Nick Saban, but the focus of the film is truly on life lessons learned by all who participate, not just those who go on to future football success.

“Kenny played high school football, and he feels the lessons learned on the field like hard work, humility and trust are carried over into everyday life,” says Chesney’s manager Clint Higham. “He wants to help inspire future generations with the same passion he feels.”

The first 10,000 schools to mail a letter on school letterhead requesting the documentary by December 31, 2010 will receive a copy of the DVD. One DVD is available per high school. Letters should be sent to:

Kenny Chesney
P.O. Box 121895
2006 Acklen Ave
Nashville, TN 37212

Chesney’s hope is that the documentary will inspire students as much as he was during his high school playing days and when he made the film, and that they take away from their playing experience lessons that helped Chesney become one of hardest working and most successful artists in music today. The DVD will be able to live on with teams or in school libraries for future generations to enjoy.

If you’d like to buy a copy of the documentary, you can get it at Walmart.com for $11.88.

The 90-minute long DVD contains bonus features, behind the scenes footage, the “making of” the documentary, and director/producer commentary.

“Boys of Fall” is a football documentary about life. Executive Producer and Country Superstar, Kenny Chesney began shooting footage and football interviews for his new single “The Boys of Fall” in fall 2009. After shooting footage of friend and New Orleans Saints’ coach Sean Payton at his high school alma mater, Chesney decided to expand the video into a full documentary film. Over the next several months he filmed youth football games, high school football games & locker room speeches as well as interviews with football greats. Interviews include Troy Aikman, Bobby Bowden, Mack Brown, Tony Dungy, Brett Favre, John Madden, Peyton Manning, Joe Namath, Sean Payton, Bill Parcells, Nick Saban and Jim Tressel. After an introduction that includes Payton speaking to his old high school team in the locker room before a big game, it depicts how those who do not go on to long, storied careers in the NFL, like high school wide receiver Chesney, the lessons learned on the field help to shape who they are today.

The 99 minute-long movie directed by Joe Thomas and distributed by Sony Pictures finished up its two week stint in theaters this past weekend. Despite the limited run, “Summer In 3D” became one of the top grossing 3D music films of all time, just behind U2 and the Rolling Stones.

“When the director called to tell us our first night we’d out-performed the entire theatrical showings of some very big acts, I was thrilled,” said Chesney. “Because it means that the people who came out last summer and over the last 8 years, they wanna remember how good it felt just as much as we do… and they figured out how to get out of the house at very specific times for an unconventional film.”

The filming will take place at the Gillette Stadium parking lot. 60 women and 40 men were chosen and have been instructed to dress up and bring everything they normally would for tailgating. Then in the afternoon 30 fans will be chosen out of the 100 to be extras in a bar scene.

If you are one of the fans participating in this filming, please share the experience with us by leaving a comment or posting on our forum.

“These are the moments you’re often so busy living, they blur,” Chesney says. “I’ve been shooting everything since I started headlining shows – and to me, you never know what you’re gonna do with it, how you might string it together.”

“A lot of the fans have been part of our videos, the ‘Roadcase’ DVDs we’ve done… our year end video, which is just for all of us out here on the road and when we decided to do something a little different, because we’ve never shot in 3-D before. I wanted to make sure we’d be able to use it. Could it be a movie? A DVD? Sure. It was a magic night. You never know. But you can’t go find all those people to get their permission after the fact, so we decided to be safe… whatever it was.”

Past tours like the No Shoes and Tiki Bars & A Whole Lotta Love tours did become Roadcase DVD’s, which documented the life of the tour. Much of the footage shown on the big screens at the shows and in some music videos are taken from the routine filming over the years.

“It’s pretty magical a lot of what happens. Rather than talk about it, we capture it. I’m just surprised to see so much interest and Internet interest in something that – other than the medium – is pretty typical of
what we’ve been doing out here for years.”
