Best Foot Forward is a story of struggle and overcoming that will move you and will remain etched in your retina. This new family show on Apple TV+ promises to be one of the summer highlights, and we had the chance to sit down with executive producers Josh Sundquist, Matt Fleckenstein, and the star Logan Marmino to talk about the importance to tell this story to the world and the lesson that it can leave. Ready?
Here we go!
Before enjoying our exclusive interview, how about a little background?
Based on the book “Just Don’t Fall” by real-life paralympic athlete, author, motivational speaker, and comedian, Josh Sundquist, the live-action series follows 12-year-old Josh Dubin as he goes from homeschool to public school, eager to experience everything middle school has to offer!
But along the way, Josh also faces a brand-new set of challenges, including how to get an entire school of kids to see past his prosthetic leg, and get to know him for who he is. With the support of his parents and the help of his best friends, Kyle and Gabriella, Josh learns, laughs, and grows, eager to come back every day for more.
And now, it’s time for our exclusive interview with the cast and crew of Best Foot Forward!
As you can see, we asked Josh Sundquist, Matt Fleckenstein, and Logan Marmino why they think it’s important to tell the inspiring story of Best Foot Forward to the world. Delving into that, we wanted to find out what lessons they hope the audience will learn from watching the show.
Lastly, there was also time to analyze future improvements in Paralympic sport at an institutional level… which are quite a few. In this question, we discover that, unfortunately, several countries around us share discrimination against Paralympic sport. This situation that must change NOW.
Best Foot Forward is the kind of show that you would repeat on a loop and not get tired of it. Josh Sundquist, Matt Fleckenstein, and Logan Marmino were able to convey that passion and that mark that the show leaves in our exclusive interview. You’re going to love this series and we can’t wait for you to watch it!
Best Foot Forward is coming to Apple TV+ on July 22.
