Andscape, the Black content studio from Disney & ESPN, announced the new film, THE QUINCY AVERY EFFECT, set to premiere on Hulu on April 23rd. The documentary was directed by Bryant Robinson, executive produced by Jason Reid, Quincy Avery and Z. Oluwabankole Levine, and was produced by Andscape and Religion of Sports.
The film highlights the remarkable rise of Black quarterbacks in the NFL, breaking through decades of barriers. For too long, Black athletes were told they couldn’t excel in the sport’s most coveted position. Through Quincy’s mentorship, athletes like Jalen Hurts, Justin Fields, CJ Stroud, and Jordan Love have shattered those limits and paved the way for future generations.
With raw and emotional interviews, these quarterbacks open up about the personal and political hurdles they faced on their path to greatness. They share how Quincy helped them overcome doubts, build confidence, and unlock their full potential on and off the field.
