More about sports work
What makes a sports feature work
A sports feature is a documentary with a clock on it. The access window is short, the subject is usually mid-season, and the piece still has to look like it belongs next to the network's best work. Sports features are where Hundred Films started winning Emmys, and where the majority of the Emmy nominations on this page came from.
The work on this page was shot for ESPN SC Featured, NFL Countdown, College Gameday, Disney's My Wish, and Red Bull — including a 2025 Sports Emmy winner and several nominees.
Shooting on a broadcast schedule
Feature work inside a broadcast operation means fitting around a production that will not move for you: game day, practice windows, media availability, travel. The camera package has to be small enough to move through those spaces and good enough to hold up in a graded network cut.
In practice that means a fast interview setup that can be struck in minutes, long-lens coverage that stays out of the way of the broadcast crew, and high-speed material shot with the Arri packages Hundred Films owns. Pete is based in Florida, travels for shoot days, and has spent enough seasons around live sports to know when to push for access and when not to.
