Jitty Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Description First N Ten is a documentary film to be shot in Nebraska, and in other Big Ten cities, focusing on the passionate fans of Husker football as their team bursts onto the scene in a new conference. The film will also show the unwavering dedication of Husker fans as they travel to away games and form "watch parties" in cities around the country. Our filmmakers will document the loyal support and the myriad of rituals, quirks, and traditions of alumni and fans all over the country at all of the block parties, local pub gatherings, and backyard cookouts that make game day for Husker Nation a celebrated holiday all over the country. The film will tell the story of "The Best Fans in College Football" as they experience Nebraska's first season in the Big Ten Conference, rich with new rivalries and back on the road to a Conference Championship and beyond.
