"Prefontaine" production video clip

Video clip from a day on the set of the Disney movie "Prefontaine."
The women in the yellow shirt is Pre's sister.
After the Prefontaine Track Meet in 1995, at Hayward Field in Eugene, the producers of the Disney movie about Steve Prefontaine, set up a special filming session. They assembled 2,000 volunteers in one end of the grandstand, to re-create the cheering for Prefontaine, when he rounded the last turn and headed for the finish line. I had shot the track meet with my Canon L-1, so I went over and recorded about 45 minutes of the festivities. Here is 7 minutes of that. The trim and foxy woman wearing a yellow "Go Pre" shirt is Neta, who is Prefontaine's sister. |
