From KCRW in Santa Monica, this is The Treatment.

Welcome to The Treatment. I'm Elvis Mitchell. You can also hear this show at KCRW.com.

My guest, Dan Clores, has made quite a name for himself for making documentaries in the last

few years.

Of course, the great film, Crazy Love.

His films tend to be about different points of view on the same incident.

And you would think it would make the films more complicated, but in fact, those points

of view tend to illuminate the subject.

His new film from the ESPN series, 30 by 30, is a film winning time, the great

story of Reggie Miller and his incredible postseason play in the 90s, almost, in fact, to taunt Spike

Lee for giving him such a hard time during when the Pacers were playing the Knicks. Dan, first of all,

thanks for being here. Elvis, thanks so much for having me. I appreciate it.

And I'm really fascinated by that because all of the films you made as documentaries have been

about these different points of view on the same story, and I wonder where that comes from

for you.

I initially wanted to do this movie on a photograph taken in Madison Square Garden of Reggie

making a big jump shot against the Knicks,

and it was the horror on the faces of the people in the first and second and third row, Madison Square Garden.

I interviewed 31 people, players, coaches, media, and they were all pretty comfortable.

So Spike's comedic nature really comes out in the film.

I mean, even Patrick Ewing is smiling throughout the entire film, which proved to me that

he's growing up now.
