Production

Writing

“The Legacy Run” like the TV Series “Sport Crime” is a fully fictional work, despite that, Scalia and Tramontin employed an unprecedented approach in writing the screenplay by building the film's plot around a case they witnessed, and asking the sportsman to act themselves nearly in full. This pattern is thought to be the blueprint for the TV Series Sport Crime in which they make ample use of the story they lived as athletes, commentators and anchors for many international TV networks.

Filming

Shooting began in Ticino (Switzerland) in February 2016 and ended in Rijeka (Croatia) in March. [4] [5] Mazza's direction purposely mixes different styles, from the most orthodox French oriented long sequence shot and reaction shots to the most sporty quick movement in order to appeal both fiction and sport audiences.

Broadcast

December 4, 2016, "The Legacy Run" had its world premier at Swiss national tv RSI reaching share numbers close to the historic Sunday Sport Show "La Domenica Sportiva".
