‘Four Down’ Doc Based on Nick Schuyler’s Book ‘Not Without Hope’ to Open Sunscreen Film Festival (EXCLUSIVE)
Under the guidance of director Steven Cantor, this documentary delves into Schuyler’s harrowing ordeal during his rescue by the U.S. Coast Guard, 43 hours after a devastating boating accident in the Gulf of Mexico that took the lives of former Tampa Bay Buccaneers Marquis Cooper and Corey Smith, as well as Schuyler’s best friend and former University of South Florida teammate Will Bleakley. In the vast expanse of the Gulf of Mexico, 70 miles offshore, Schuyler was discovered in critical condition, holding onto the engine mount of the overturned boat.
