Video of Chicago Fire Soccer Fans: Section 8

I recently had the opportunity to create a short documentary film about Chicago Fire Soccer fans – who endearingly refer to themselves as Section 8. Marin Kolev, Ethan Faure and myself produced the piece for our documentary production class at DePaul University. E. Jason Wambsgans provided some additional footage of the game.

I had posted the video on Vimeo for my Dad to view, and assumed the video would get lost in space. I was shocked when my teammate (and Section 8 member) emailed me to let me know that within five days the video had received more than 2,000 views ! The Free Beer Movement, Offsite Rules and Major League Soccer’s official website had all linked to the clip. According to Ethan, “Pardon the pun, but this thing has spread like wildfire.”

Thanks to my Dad who relentlessly emailed me before I posted the video a little over a week ago.

Here’s the video, for your viewing pleasure:
