Recounting the charged social events of the 1960s that blazed a new trail for college football, Black Spartans will tell the story of what was once an unimaginable feat: an integrated college football team. The film stars Neal McDonough and Casey Cott. It is inspired by Michigan State Spartan coach Duffy Daugherty who changed sports history when he led his fully racially diverse team to victory. Jones not only wrote the script but also took on production duties.
“Ben is a phenomenal writer with an extraordinary vision for stories told through the lens of underrepresented voices of color and the LGBTQ+ community,” said Cultivate co-founders Sean Butler and Patrick Strøm. “We are extremely excited to have Jones on Team Cultivate as our company matches with his clear and distinct path forward when it comes to storytelling.”
