A Love Story for Pat Summitt.

‘Pat XO’ a documentary film about Pat Summitt’s brilliant rise to greatness and final chapter re-written by dementia.
Pat XO premiered as part of ESPN’s documentary series, Nine for IX that commemorated the 40th Anniversary of Title IX. The film follows the remarkable story of Pat Summitt, the winningest coach in NCAA basketball history when this film was released in 2013. Produced shortly after Pat received her early on-set Alzheimer’s diagnosis, her interview is guided with the help of her son and a photo book, created by Lookalike.

So, how did they tell the story of a woman who has touched so many different people both personally and in the arena of college basketball? They sent hand-held cameras and shooting instructions to 50 of her closest friends—and let the stories flow.
