COURT JESTERS ARTICLE IN THE NY TIMES
Court Jesters continues to create a buzz with a recent NY Times article, A Tale of Paintball, in Life and on Screen appearing in the Sunday,
November 7th edition of the celebrated chronicle. The story, by David Everitt, takes a behind the scenes look with writer/director, Eric John
Kepner, describing the series of events that lead to the making of the film, and the role paintball played in his life and the lives of the Jesters.
As a result of tremendous research and immersion in the project, Everitt truly recognized the spirit that existed. “On the set, the project had
the feel of a combination family affair and paintballers reunion.” This feeling was not exclusive to Everitt, but enjoyed by all who played a part
in this project, big or small.
To date, the cast and crew of Court Jesters have been extremely fortunate with the media coverage the film has received, and are eternally
grateful to all who have taken an interest in this project.
Court Jesters is inspired by the true story of a teenage boy from a broken home, who manages to find direction in the form of a paintball
team. The motley crew of players also come from similar situations, and manages to collectively escape from the wrong side of the tracks
every weekend, when they transform into the fastest, toughest, and ultimately greatest paintball team around.
Court Jesters is a story that works on many levels beyond paintball. It is based on the award winning screenplay of writer/director, Eric John
Kepner, a winner of a Panasonic Filmmakers Grant.
