While shooting the Raising Her Game docuseries, we filmed soccer players @MissimoLexi, @lauren_lapo, & @_ashlynmiller reading inscriptions & learning about the soldiers’ sacrifices Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium honors.
Best wishes to everyone this Memorial Day.
@mcclusk Well, Ed loved your post, so he posted about it from his whiskey company FB account (they are not on X currently). So that's how it transpired.
@mcclusk It was supposed to be a link to where Belfour Spirits posted on Facebook about your Ed Belfour X post - not sure the link worked properly, but you can check it out on their FB page if you want.
Mint Farm’s Rush Olson interviewed @Simone_Biles on camera at her new Taste of Gold restaurant in @iah & blogged about it. Being named for a woman athlete, the concept fit w/themes in our Raising Her Game soccer docuseries, streaming on @victoryplustv. https://t.co/xNBmKWWrm0
Rush Olson interviewed @USWNT great @AbbyWambach at the opening of @TOCAsocialUS. They talked about how the women’s game has fueled the popularity of the sport, a topic covered in Mint Farm Films’ Raising Her Game docuseries, streaming now on @victoryplustv.
During our interview w/Julius Pierce @B1GJuice of @FIUFootball at @CGSAllStar, he said of offensive line play: “It's a thinking man's game. It's like playing chess, but with a bunch of fat guys up front.” The ‘26 CGS film will be full of revealing football insights like this.
We had an amazing opportunity yesterday to interview former @NHLer Bob Bassen for the documentary on which we’re working about Ed Belfour. Did you know Bob was Ed’s road roommate for a season? Our location was the @DallasStars team room at the @AACenter - a fantastic setting.
Appreciated the shoutout from @TheJCAbbott and @3DownNation mentioning the documentary on which we're working about the @CGSAllStar event - so many great stories every year, including Canadian ones!
We started the 2026 @CGSAllStar documentary shoot by interviewing some of the organizers: Jose Jefferson, Craig Redd, & Adrian Lunsford @BDOCSPORTS. Their revealing takes on how the portal & NIL affect athletes’ readiness to move to the pros will make for a fascinating doc!
Rush Olson of Mint Farm Films took a look at this past weekend’s @thepwhlofficial women’s pro hockey game at the home of the @DallasStars and, as we look to do with all our projects, provided some big-picture perspective. https://t.co/67fx3tAtPM
Here’s a BTS peek at the interview we did with Jim Leyland this fall for a documentary in progress about @Pudge_Rodriguez. We shot it in Pittsburgh at his golf club -when we saw the cool fireplace in the clubhouse, we thought it would look fantastic behind the legendary manager.
Rush Olson of Mint Farm Films put together some observations about the intersection of sponsorship and growth of different codes of football after attending a couple of interesting events this week.

When @sidneymoncrief_ and his teammates took @ razorbackmbb on deep postseason tournament runs, it raised the profile of a basketball program that had not had a national profile. That success affected how recruits viewed UA, including future Olympian & NBAer @SlaterMoJoe.
We interviewed a Hockey Hall of Famer this past week for our documentary on one of his former teammates, Ed Belfour. He told us about Ed’s meticulousness, winning the Cup, and comparisons to a goaltender with whom Carbo played in Montreal, Patrick Roy. @gcarbo21@HockeyHallFame
This event was right in our wheelhouse - former NBA and ABA players telling great basketball stories. We've interviewed a number of these folks in the past and we love the perspective they provide. https://t.co/4EsE2T0TWS
A cool Mint Farm Films @UNC_Athletics moment at last night’s @NBAalumni Dallas event: Tar Heel basketball great Sam Perkins, who we’ve interviewed for a Sidney Moncrief doc, talks w/the top goal scorer in UNC men’s soccer history, @DMissimo from our Raising Her Game docuseries.
Mint Farm's Rush Olson tells a story of some casual baseball watching. It reminded him of the ways fans view favorite players & how that factor is an important one when we think about the long-tail value of some of the documentaries on which we're working. https://t.co/OYv1Xu3sxy
