Dr. Eddie Anderson arrives at The University of Iowa in 1939 to a program in shambles having won a single game each of the two previous seasons.  Despite low expectations Anderson knew his team could compete with the best if key players never left the field.  Determined to have the fittest squad in the nation and implement his high speed no huddle offense he weeded his team from 85 players at the beginning of spring practice to 37 when the season started.  Led by Iowa’s only Heisman Trophy winner Nile Kinnick, 16 players would play every minute of at least one game that historic season.  They will forever be remembered as The Ironmen!

‘The Ironmen’ film finds a director, Shane Dax Taylor

My dad and I have probably been to at least one Iowa game together every year of my life.  I once went 5 years without missing more than one game each year, including away games and bowl trips.  My grandpa watched Nile Kinnick play in what is now called Kinnick Stadium and 80 years later, I’ve shot multiple promotional videos for Joe Heath’s upcoming film that captures this quintessential story.  The movie will premiere in Kinnick Stadium, before being released across the country.  I am happy to connect potential investors with creator Joe Heath.
