Production Company to Chronicle Jimmer's NBA Draft Prep

Former BYU star and National Player of the Year Jimmer Fredette will be coming to a screen near you. The NCAA's scoring champ has signed a deal with New York-based production company Tupelo-Honey Productions to chronicle his life leading up to the NBA draft on June 23.

According to the Sports Business Journal, Tupelo-Honey will shoot more than 100 hours of footage over 30 days and the company plans to sell online and mobile vignettes and packaged 30-minute TV shows.

Footage is expected to highlight Fredette’s transition from student athlete to NBA player and it will show how Fredette picks an agent, how he keeps up his training and how he goes about planning his financial future.

Tupelo-Honey plans to produce daily two- to four-minute webisodes, a daily video blog and weekly recap features and after the 30 days, they will produce a long-form documentary for a TV channel or theatrical release.
