Overview
- Stiller told ESPN’s NBA Tip-Off on Wednesday that he is archiving the courtside footage he has been shooting and that “there’s a project in the works.”
- Page Six reported that the material is for an HBO documentary but multiple outlets note that neither HBO nor Stiller has officially confirmed HBO’s involvement.
- Stiller has posted high-quality iPhone clips from celebrity row during the Knicks’ postseason and Finals games and has said the recordings are intended for more than personal social posts.
- Reporters and observers point to the Knicks’ Game 4 comeback as especially strong source material because Stiller captured dramatic, behind-the-scenes and in-arena moments up close.
- Stiller is a veteran filmmaker with previous documentary credits and special access at Madison Square Garden, and the next developments to watch are a formal announcement and clarification of the project’s distributor and scope.
