Slightly more than a year ago, 19 August, 2011, HTBS wrote about Sarah Megan Thomas and the making of her rowing movie Backwards in and around Philadelphia. Not only was she playing the lead role, Abi, but she had also written the film script and produced the film. Last Thursday, the film opened in Philadelphia, with some of the members of the U.S. women’s rowing team present at the premiere (see photos from Row2K here).

Above you can watch a video how the film was made, while below is a trailer of the film. At the very bottom, you will find a clip from the Today Show where Thomas was interviewed – enjoy!
