Newly formed film distribution company Kicking +
Screening Media Group will launch with the release of comedic documentary Celtic Soul. The film, starring comedian Jay Baruchel (Goon, This Is the End) and soccer journalist Eoin O’Callaghan, will be available in the United States on VOD and streaming platforms starting Tuesday, January 30. Celtic Soul, which screened at the 2017 K+S Soccer Film Festival in New York, follows Baruchel and soccer journalist Eoin O’Callaghan on a quest to see Scottish soccer club Celtic FC in Glasgow. Hilarious and poignant, it’s a story that spans 200 years of colorful history as the duo visit Jay’s ancestral home of Westport, Ireland, and then continue on to Glasgow, where they finally get to see Celtic FC play at their famed stadium, Celtic Park.
Fans can watch the film on JAN 30th on the following platforms: iTunes, Amazon Video, Vudu, GooglePlay, Sony Playstation, Comcast, Spectrum, Cox, Verizon, Frontier, Brighthouse, Dish, and DIRECTV.
Eight by Eight is a boldly-designed, independent magazine born and raised in New York City. We focus on the game’s best teams, coaches, players, and their stories.
It is our ambition to tell these stories through excellent journalism; aggressive, modern design; and the best illustration and photography. Our readers are smart and inquisitive, seeking a better understanding of the game’s unseen narratives and delighting in its complexities.
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good soccer. I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’ And when good soccer happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
