REMEMBERING THE HERRICANES
You have to be a committed Houston sports fan to remember the Houston Herricanes, who played from 1976 through 1979 in the National Women's Football League.
Olivia Kuan, a Bellaire high School graduate who is a cinematographer in Los Angeles, is attempting to gather research on a documentary about the Herricanes to be titled "Brick House." She also is working to raise money for the project through a crowdfunding page.
Kuan's mother, Basia Haszlakiewicz, played safety for the Herricanes in 1978-79, and Kuan for years has mulled over the idea of making a film about the team. She has conducted some initial interviews with about 15 former player and hopes to begin filming this year.
Kuan also hopes to focus on Anita Martini, the former KPRC (Channel 2) sports reporter who was one of the first female sports journalists in the Southwest and reported on the Herricanes for Channel 2.
"The team is the focus - the individuals and what brought them together - but it's also about the greater struggle of women trying to do things that haven't been done before," Kuan said. "Anita's story runs parallel to the Herricanes' story, and it is apt that they are related to each other."
Kuan, a graduate of New York University who has worked on feature films and documentaries, has been in contact with Martini's family and with Nelda Pena, Martini's longtime producer. Material on the Herricanes, however, has been difficult to come by, so Kuan is looking for material about the team and about Martini, with an emphasis on video footage. Kuan can be contacted through her homepage, oliviakuan.com, or through the Indiegogo page.
