Steph Curry is releasing his first official documentary film, "UNDERRATED", which follows his journey from an undersized basketball player to the four-time NBA champion today. Directed and produced by Peter Nicks, with Ryan Coogler and Erick Peyton as producers, the film introduces us to Steph like never before. Through a blend of cinéma vérité, archival footage, and on-camera interviews, we get to witness the incredible journey of Curry's rise from a small Division I college to a decorated NBA champion.
Erick Peyton, Chief Creative Officer of Unanimous Media, shared with BLACK ENTERPRISE the inspiration behind the film and how it ties to Unanimous Media's emphasis on projects with family, faith, and sports themes. He said, “Stephen’s story is really how we want to inspire and create a massive wave of impact and inspiration. I think that’s why we wanted to tell this story now. It’s been over 10 years since he made this run. And I think a lot of people forgot who he was and how he looked.”
The film takes us back to Curry’s early start in basketball as the son of a former NBA player, Dell Curry. Growing up around the league, Steph and his brother Seth Curry naturally followed in their dad’s footsteps. But Curry was always undersized, so he had to work extra hard to remain a top contender on teams he played for in high school and college. We also get to witness Curry’s return to Davidson College, where he dropped out of in his senior year to pursue an NBA career, and his completion of his bachelor’s degree program, all while being an in-demand NBA star, husband, and father of three.
Unanimous Media was co-founded by Curry and Peyton and develops and produces television, film, and digital content. The company’s name also represents the “unanimous” success Curry has achieved in professional sports. Peyton is a veteran in the industry, having produced projects for an array of clients. He encourages aspiring producers to follow their dreams and set a plan in place, while also being okay with setbacks.
Steph Curry’s “UNDERRATED” premieres on Apple TV on Friday, July 21. If you’ve been a fan of Steph Curry’s journey since the beginning, this is the perfect opportunity to get to know the four-time NBA champion in a way like never before.
