When Stuart Meney isn’t coaching kids’ football, he’s supporting his premier league team (Darlington FC; “it’s a long story”) or watching sport cinema. This cheery British expatriate is part of a three-man team with a lifelong passion for the sport. Football is so entrenched in these men’s lives that they’ve concocted their own niche film festival. “A couple of us volunteered for non-profits and charities in the football space,” Meney explains. “We connected there and started getting together to argue about football. Then we moved on to coordinating a festival.”
