The upcoming Kicking and Screening Film Festival is full of expectation as the second edition is already exceeding last year's success. The film festival kicks off on June 1st over at Tribeca Cinemas and goes all the way to June 5th.

In our interview with founder and director Rachel Markus we find out how this festival came to be as well as the passion that Rachel has for the Beautiful Game that has truly spearheaded this labor of love.

So after years in the making, her true passions- soccer and cinematography- come together and form one of the most important soccer-related events in the United States and all over the world.  Hope you enjoy the interview.
