************************* The holiday miracle of Bev Kearney

Writer of upcoming Sony film Stomp the Yard pens story of sports legend

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Dec. 23 - The day after Christmas, 2002, Texas University Coach Bev Kearney and her family went on a trip to Disney World.

What was supposed to be a fun-filled vacation ended in a horrific accident that left two people dead and Bev in critical condition, completely immobile.

What seemed like a tragic holiday, four years later, serves as the beginning of the legend of one athlete's victory over a diagnosis of paralysis, a coach and team's triumph over predictions of permanent defeat, and the spiritual transformation they all made along the way.

Now, as we enter the fourth anniversary of that event, the miraculous story of Bev Kearney is being slated for the big screen. With insiders saying that Bev's story is fertile ground for Academy Award territory, her next stop was Hollywood, as the rights to her life story were recently garnered by the newly expanded Tri Destined Studios/ Tri Destined Films.

Major interest is swirling about the story which chronicles Bev's humble beginnings as a girl who lost her mother during high school and was left with six siblings trying to pick up the pieces; her constant fight to reach the top of her field; and finally the challenge of a lifetime - the battle over her own physical debilitations as she coached her team to the Collegiate and U.S. National (Pre-Olympic) championships.

All of this was done from her hospital bed, while - against doctors' prognosis - she taught herself how to walk again, after a horrendous accident claimed the lives of her family. Bev's story is a perfect fit for Tri Destined Films (ND Brown, Trey Haley, Gregory Anderson, owners), as their philanthropic event, "The Inner City Destiny Awards" has honored other greats including Coach Carter, Heisman Trophy Winner Reggie Bush, Stevie Wonder as well as a host of civil and political leaders and dignitaries.

Tri Destined Films recently wrapped American Dream for Warner Brothers / Asylum Records. President Gregory Anderson's screenplay is the basis for the upcoming Sony Screen Gems film Stomp the Yard starring pop stars Chris Brown and NeYo.

President of Tri Destined Television Ron Deshay is the senior producer of American Idol.
