Palmy Inn teamed up with the wonderful crew at Ross Greenburg productions. The film was helmed by legendary documentarian Sam Pollard. Palmy Inn was brought on to animate key moments in Bill Russell’s life both on and off the court.

Ross Greenburg put together a team that truly works like a family. Palmy Inn was honored to be a part of a film about the undisputed legend of basketball, Bill Russell.
