On the cusp of college football season, the Arkansas Motion Picture Institute and the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce are screening “Greater,” a film depicting the remarkable rise of Brandon Burlsworth, an offensive lineman for the Razorbacks whose tenacity propelled him from a walk-on to an All-American as a fifth-year senior, and who died tragically in a car crash in 1999 just after being drafted by the Indianapolis Colts. 


The screening takes place Tuesday, Aug. 23, 7 p.m. at Razorback Cinema in Fayetteville, and will be followed by a conversation with producer and screenwriter Brian Reindl, director and screenwriter David Hunt, and Christopher Severio, who plays Burlsworth. Get tickets here.
