I could not past the poor production quality. The production design was fine, but the camera depart felt like it was made of 20 years olds with smart phones. It is shot like someone is recording a birthday party. I do not know if they used cheap gear or if they wanted to make it look like found footage. I could not keep watching it. If they were going to keep me engaged, then they needed to wow in the first 2 minutes. After Iron Fist and the Inhumans, Marvel Studio's new TV programming is not looking good.

I am not sure the documentary feel worked because they kept cutting to actual footage. The stock did not match. I know they shot it super 16mm instead of 35mm to get closer to what a documentation would have looked like. However, I know they have a VERY tight budget, so were able to accomplish a lot with a little. I do not know if people who did not care about the hockey summit to begin with would get into it. It was a lot of fun to watch them make it. The guy who played Clarke (John Bregar) was pretty nice to the extras. The hardest part was getting the crew off the ice between takes. You throw these guys in a hockey rink and they are kids all over again. I rated it kinda high cause I took a couple of days off work to be an extra in Moscow. It was great that they used some New Brunswick people too. I know Jonathan Collicott was an Assistant Director, Glendon McKinney was working in the Art Department, and Glen Ross was taking pictures. There was also several NB Film Co-op members seen on screen as extras (Nik Mills, Chisholm Pothier, Jeff Combs, Sebastian MacLean just to name a few).
