50 YARD DASH

50 Yard Dash is a series created by Ben Fraternale that covers the action, storylines, and personal journeys in the Arena Football League. Launched in 2016, Fraternale began working with the league to enhance the aesthetic and storytelling capabilities of the AFL’s cross-platform content. What resulted was numerous short films, game films, daily social media videos, and content which ultimately aired on Sportscenter and ESPN3 in partnership with the league. Often cited as the “NFL Films of the AFL,” 50 Yard Dash has provided one of the most intimate looks into a pro football league since its inception. Fraternale serves as director, shooter, editor, writer, and producer.
