Production
Twice in a Supermoon
Twice in a Supermoon was established by director Geoff Hecht for the production of Love is a Championship.
The name is inspired by the expression "once in a blue moon" and reflects Geoff's experience following the festival success of Metro6. After spending five years creating the film, its acceptance into multiple Oscar-qualifying festivals felt like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When the global pandemic prevented in-person participation, it was a difficult and deeply disappointing experience.
The creation of Love is a Championship raised an unexpected question: what if some opportunities aren't once-in-a-lifetime? What if they're twice in a lifetime?
