FOOS, a Robert Ismert Documentary

"FOOS, The History of American Foosball"

“Ismert draws on more than three years of countless personal interviews with many of the greatest names and players of the sport, both past and present. Collectively these interviews provide exceptional insider perspective on key figures and personalities, spectacular matches and tournaments, the “glory days” and history of the game, and on how the sport evolved to be where it is today.

More than the mere history of what to most is just a novelty sport, these two revealing stories in particular drive the introspective side of the film to the point where you come to understand these players… in a way not explored in any other sports documentary made to date.

In all, this film is a “foos” fanatic’s dream but also for most anyone, it serves as an intriguing look at a cross section of Americana.”

- Larry “Euro-Foosin” Davis, Executive Director, United States Table Soccer Federation

----------------------------------------------- “Last night I watched “Foos” again and enjoyed it even more the second time! You have done a fabulous job of capturing the essence of the “foos” experience. You have also done a monumental job of telling the history of the pro tour experience in the U.S.”

- Kathy Brainard, Co-Author of The Complete Book of Foosball

------------------------------------------------ “In one word… WOW! You did a marvelous job Robert, an excellent quality research job, excellent video/graphics production.”

- Jim Waterman, foosball.com

------------------------------------------------- "It gives a very clear picture of the foosers without the dullness of political correctness or the need to gloss over or enhance the image of foosball or its players. I’ve watched the film three times now and find it more perfect each time."

- Phil Kennedy, Foosball EZ Board Administrator & foosball historian
