Ed Sabol turned a wedding gift into a career that reshaped sports cinema. His early work on Haverford High School football sparked a lifelong devotion to filming, culminating in a color interviewable NFL film empire.

Today his operation employs about 40 photographers and a full sound and editing crew.
