Sports betting documentary out soon

Almost a year ago Los Angeles film maker Isaac Feder posted a Vimeo trailer on his upcoming documentary on the US sports betting industry titled “Life on the Line”, a fast-moving look at that side of the online and land industry and the activities of both “wise guy” bettors who make a living out of knowledge and risk taking, and the bookies and handicappers who are on the other side.

It’s been two years in the making, and is set against the backdrop of the excitement and betting on Super Bowl 45.

Feder is a graduate of Northwestern University and the American Film Institute Conservatory who has been awarded the Coca-Cola Refreshing Filmmaker Award, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Scholarship, and the Kodak 35mm Film Project Grant.

This weekend will see the hour-long work live streamed over the internet.
