“It Ain’t Over” Director Sean Mullin on Capturing the Brilliance of Yogi Berra

Even though It Ain’t Over is about Yogi Berra, one of baseball’s preeminent figures during his 18 seasons as catcher with the New York Yankees and a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, director Sean Mullin says the “last thing I wanted to do was make a sports movie.” Instead, Mullin took as inspiration the Oscar-winning 1955 film Marty starring Ernest Borgnine as an Italian-American butcher from the Bronx.

“It’s one of my all-time favorite films and a beautiful love story,” says Mullin.
