Written, directed and produced by first-time filmmaker Tim Chambers, The Mighty Macs is a film eight years in the making, based on the incredible true story of the 1971-72 Immaculata College team that started in obscurity but became the original Cinderella story in women's basketball.

"The Mighty Macs tells the inspiring true story of a woman (Cathy Rush) who wasn't afraid to follow her dreams even when the odds were against her, and who, as a result, paved the way for other women and for anyone who dares to pursue their dreams regardless of the challenges in front of them," said Wolfington. "We wanted to share her story with our families, friends, employees and local leaders to inspire them to pursue greatness in everything they do."

And Cathy Rush, the woman that changed the game for the better, became immortalized when she was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame last year. The Mighty Macs stars Carla Gugino as Cathy Rush; David Boreanaz as her husband, NBA referee Ed Rush; Marley Shelton as Sister Sunday; and Academy Award and Tony Award winner Ellen Burstyn as Mother St. John.
