Two Days in April


Two Days in April is a 2007 documentary film by director Don Argott that follows four NFL prospects Derek Hagan, Clint Ingram, DonTrell Moore and Travis Wilson through the process of preparing for and participating in the 2006 NFL Draft. The film received its name in reference to the NFL Draft Weekend, and focuses on the intense training leading up to the NFL Draft and the emotional roller coaster of draft day. Three of the players were selected within six picks of each other in the third round.

In the fall of 2005, Dave Broome, executive producer of The Biggest Loser, learned of the Tom Condon film concept where cameras would follow Condons latest clients as they prepared for the 2006 NFL Draft. Condon himself did not expect payment, but requested being listed as an executive producer on the project. After studying the idea, Broome decided the concept would be better suited for a documentary than for a feature film, modifying the original Condon concept of simply following the subjects to include interviews and personal vignettes within the narrative. Upon Condons agreeing, Broome arranged financing and distribution. When Red Envelope Entertainment gave the goahead, Broome in 2005 hired Don Argott to direct, and in winter 2006, Argott and Condon went to the IMG training academy in Bradenton, Florida to meet the players and begin filming.However, during production, Condon left IMG to join Creative Artists Agency, taking his clients with him. One of the contractual conditions for filming IMG athletes at the IMG Academy, was that the film would be subject to IMGs artistic approval. With Condon leaving the project, Broome and Argott were worried that IMG would invoke this clause to shut down the project. ........
