Roughly one year ago, Field Humphrey and Patrick Newman—two filmmakers that help to comprise Readily Apparent Media—were putting the finishing touches on their short documentary, Let ‘Em Know You’re There. The film was in the post-production phase and nearly ready to be screened when Patrick took a call from his panicked partner.
“I thought (he) had been in a car accident or something,” Newman told me.

The film is centered around former NBA player, Jim Tucker, who, with his teammate Earl Lloyd, became the first African Americans to win an NBA title when the Syracuse Nationals did so in the 1954-55 season.
