FAYETTEVILLE -- It took a couple of Arkansas guys to bring the life of Brandon Burlsworth to the big screen.

Brian Reindl and David Hunt -- UA graduates who live in Fayetteville -- co-wrote the script for Greater, the movie about Burlsworth that opens Friday in about 400 theaters in 20 states.

Reindl also produced Greater. Hunt directed it.

"We had a lot of people telling us we'd never be able to make this movie," Hunt said. "Just like Brandon, we ignored all the naysayers and forged ahead and made something that hopefully people will be touched by when they see it.
