Project Key Art Released

January 26, 2016

One of the most exciting elements of the entire Shaw movie project has been released! The “key art” will be used in a variety of product packaging and promotion (including this website). The original photo of Coach Shaw was from his years at Jackson Academy and was selected from the Shaw family archives. Special thanks to Coach’s daughter Heather for allowing the photo to be borrowed from her home. Click images below for a larger view.
