This is a story about dedication, discipline, and dependability. The lessons and stories we've shared over the years will be told by the people who I’ve shared my life with. This is a documentary about a kid from Fall River.
Oh snap! Guess what our family will be watching and studying together!
S/O to @mediagratiae @stephenmccaskell @jeff.johnson1689 and the rest of the team for this wonderful resource.
A common argument today by older generations is that Americans don’t truly appreciate our country or the freedoms our country provides because we don’t know or study our history. We don’t constantly remind ourselves about the sacrifices that generations before us made so that we can have the greatest nation in the world.
I have an even more important argument: Christians today, especially AMERICAN CHRISTIANS don’t appreciate the Church because we don’t study the history of the Church. In most cases, we don’t even know what the TRUE CHURCH is! We don’t know about the sacrifices made by Saints like Martin Luther and others who opened the doors for us to be able to hold and possess our own Bibles and have direct access to the TRUE, UNADULTERATED WORD OF GOD. We must understand this and appreciate it...and never forget it. That’s why I’m so grateful that @mediagratiae and others are producing such great content.
Do yourself a favor and get a copy of The Church Bible Study Set. Study the history of the Church and then if you haven’t already, go check out @american_gospel and see how the American Gospel is far from the truth and is corrupting the TRUE GOSPEL around the world!
Fall River, MA, is a unique city. I wanted to make sure we delivered a genuine portrayal of the city in this film. The city of Fall River is one of the key elements that draws people into the story. We all root for underdogs, and Fall River is an underdog city with some amazing people. Thank you, Fall River, for welcoming me with open arms and allowing me to tell the story of one of your own!

So much of life is focused on achieving specific goals. But, the real prize lies within the JOURNEY to reach those goals. The life of Marc Megna exemplifies this. He embraced this process from his childhood in Fall River, MA, all the way to this very day . . . and continues to each and every day. We must realize that we all start out as just a kid from somewhere. Where we end up is on us. And more importantly, how we get there is the true reward.
*Includes interviews from Todd McShay (ESPN), Joe Douglas (NY Jets), Joe Cullen (Baltimore Ravens), Mark Duffner (Cincinnati Bengals), Chris Jones (Cleveland Browns), and many more!
Although there is a great deal of football involved in this film, football is only a mechanism in which Marc used to overcome the obstacles our youth face every day: bullying, peer pressure, self-esteem, weight-issues, body image, confidence, healthy/clean living, focus, goal-setting, self-discipline and much more. It wasn't the wins and losses, it was being a part of a team, something bigger than self. It wasn't the game, it was the preparation. And it wasn't the awards and accolades, it was the process! In the film, Coach Jim Reid, a prominent and well-respected college football coach of 40+ years states, "..this film should be shown in every middle and high school . . . and not only once, but multiple times. Every obstacle or excuse that kids have today, Marc didn't buy into that. He stayed focused and never fell off the path." Another interviewee in the film, Matt Davis, a college teammate of Marc's said, "It's hard for a kid to just put their head down, go to work, and believe that they can achieve. They have to see it. Marc's life is a blueprint for what it takes to achieve your dreams and goals. And for kids to see that, to see what he faced and how he overcame those things to achieve success, that's what will motivate kids to put in the work to reach their goals."

There will be many good days in life. There will even be many special days in life. But, there will only be a handful of monumental days. For my great friend and brother @marcmegna this is one of those days. Today is the official release of Marc’s book, “Dream Big, Never Quit: The Marc Megna Story”. The books will start rolling out today!!! Just the thought of trying to sit down and write an entire novel about my own life overwhelms me. What do I include, what do I not include, where do I start, how do I end, word choice, sentence structure, and the list goes on! But, even with the completely chaotic schedule he has in his life, Marc was still able to focus on telling his own story, in the hopes that it might help someone else. An amazing accomplishment my friend, you never cease to amaze me. I have no doubt that many people will appreciate and be inspired by your story! Love you bro, congrats!
#dreambigneverquit
Came across a gem this week while searching documentaries on Amazon. Anyone who enjoys great inspirational stories about people of great character, then you need to check this film out! S/O to director Bob Rider for doing an amazing job telling the story of Joe Roth. Don't Quit: The Joe Roth Story
Honored and utterly grateful to be able to tell the story of my friend and brother @marcmegna
I wasn’t looking to ‘hollywood-ise’ Marc’s story...there’s enough of that going on today. This is just a straightforward, unadulterated, genuine layout of how things unfolded. Everyone has obstacles to overcome, no one can deny that. I wasn’t interested in presenting a host of problems, I was interested in showing you someone overcame those problems and kept it moving. Couldn’t think of a better example/ambassador to represent that than @marcmegna
Film coming soon!
Straight @blackmagicdesignofficial homie
@ursamini @bmpcc4k #fourmilesforkids
Having a blast filming @virnow with the talented folks from @visitvirginia
The @imsa_racing @michelin Pilot Challenge is a great event and Virginians are lucky that it’s right in their backyard! You need to check this place out!
#virginiaisforracinglovers #imsa #michelinvir #stayandplayinva #cars
So pumped to be working with the talented team of @redampaudio
Repost from @redampaudio Jody got to start scoring the documentary @justakidfromfallriver today! We are super excited to be a part of this documentary and underdog story of pro football player and personal trainer @marcmegna
Thank you @marcmegna
“One of the best parts of life is sharing stories. Those stories come from parts of our lives and lessons learned. A few years back a good friend, Randy West of @monarchproductions thought it would be worthwhile to share those stories. The intention is not be a movie star or be famous. It’s only to continue doing exactly what we’ve always wanted to do. Help people. How? By showing them the most important lesson in life. More important than other people believing in you is you believing in yourself. The story is told by all of the people who have been an impactful part of my life. There’s no fluff, no BS, or fictional events. This is about a KID FROM FALL RIVER and his journey. A young boy who’s far from perfect, but trying hard to become the best version of himself. The story is a celebration of the many special people who didn’t have to help me. But I’m incredibly grateful they did. I would’ve been lost with out my mother, coaches, and caring mentors. Packed with over 50 interviews and B roll that director Randy West drove all over the country to collect. With no budget. I’ve never seen anyone care about a project like this. He is the most driven person I know. The 3 parts to this documentary are the following. 1. Fall River 2. College/professional football 3. Miami. We sincerely hope this story resonates with people in the positive way. Thank you to the many people who made time to contribute, Durfee high-school, the University of Richmond, NFL/CFL teams, @hnnow and @anatomy family. Thank you @melanietillbrook for always believing in me and supporting me through thick and thin. This film will be out in the next few months. You can go to the website link in my bio to watch bonus footage today. Thank you for your support.”

Marc Megna
I’m from Fall River, Massachusetts. I know what that means when people hear it. I’ve always viewed it as a blessing. I’m absolutely a product of my environment. Christopher Peckham and his uncle Bobby Peckham have been AMAZING friends my entire life. Hardworking, honest, and beyond loyal. At a very young age Bobby would tell me to stay out of trouble and away from the negative things in the city. It was huge having him in my corner and looking out for me. Chris’s positive energy and support is unmatched. Both humble Fall River natives who continue to add great value to the community. Thank you both for sitting down with Monarch Productions and being a part of the @justakidfromfallriver film project. #508

Another interview for the @justakidfromfallriver film by @monarchproductions . This is Coach Joe Cullen. I cannot even describe how tough he was to play for. Ask anyone who has ever played for him. If you didn’t go 100 miles an hour you were going to have a very bad day. Players called him crazy, insane, psycho, and nasty. But they also called him THE BEST. Coach Cullen took countless players who no one recruited or wanted and turned them into All-Americans. He wouldn’t make you do a drill 2 or 3 times if you messed up, he’d make you do it 10-15 times full speed. Players cringed at his non-stop screaming from the meeting room to the end of practice and into the looker room. Two important things to remember whenever you hear the name Joe Cullen. 1. He held you accountable because he cared 2. He’s one of the smartest coaches in the NFL today. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without his tough love. ——————————————————

If my brother was the most important interview for this film Coach Jim Reid is a close second. Coach Jim Reid sat down with filmmaker @monarchproductions for over 2 hrs as he told the entire story from recruiting to NFL draft process. Jim Reid is without a doubt one of the greatest college football coaches that has ever lived. I hit the lottery when he offered me a scholarship. He was the first and only one to see something special in me. No other coaches thought I had a prayer to play college football until Coach Reid offered me. He saw a few average plays and decided he could coach me to be a solid player. This man was beyond tough. He ran a tight program, packed with discipline and emphasized TEAMWORK. He taught me how to think on and off the field, as well as the importance of paying attention to the detail. Yes, he was TOUGH, but he cared more than anyone when it came to his players. He also made academics the priority. Every single player graduated. Most with honors which they didn’t achieve in Highschool. This is is the type of coach that parents beg to recruit their son. It was a huge honor to play for this man and grow up under his watch. Thank you for participating in this film Coach Reid. You’ve impacted the lives of thousands of athletes and their families. I can only hope to impact this world the way you have. Thank you. 🕷
