Treasure Entertainment said Friday that Camelot Entertainment Group has secured the rights to Omar McGee's life story for him to direct as a fictional feature. Titled Thank God, the film is inspired by McGee's autobiographical basketball docu Flintown Kids, which screened this year. Treasure also said that all Spanish rights to Flintown were secured by Spain's CineDigital during the American Film Market. The digital video-shot Flintown, produced by Treasure co-chairmen Jesse Felsot and Mark Heidelberger, chronicles McGee's return to his hometown of Flint, Mich., and several of his friends' journeys from poverty to NBA stardom, along with those who haven't escaped their drug- and crime-ridden surroundings. It includes exclusive high school game footage of such pro players as LeBron James, Jason Richardson, Morris Peterson and Mateen Cleaves. Treasure is sharing domestic and international sales duties on the pic with WMI, which signed McGee after the Cannes debut of Flintown. Kevin Asbell served as the docu's co-producer. The Spanish deal was brokered by Premiera Euro Cinemas with Miodrag Kotlajic and Erik A. Baron for Treasure with CineDigital. WMI packaged the rights to McGee's life story and sealed his directing deal with Camelot.
