“I was extraordinarily concerned that if I wasn't able to get something real with Nick that this was just going to be a conventional sports documentary, and that was a genuine fear,” Kohn said. “How do I make this into a protagonist who has really clear specific goals and desires with very clear moments of conflict?” “The biggest learning opportunity was figuring out how do I make this into a real story,” Kohn told Business Insider.
Unlike his debut feature film, 2007’s “ Manda Bala (Send a Bullet),” a complex telling of corruption and kidnapping in Brazil (it won the documentary grand jury prize at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival), Kohn could see from the start how to tell the story of Bollettieri: be as real as possible. In many ways he saw it as an opportunity to practice storytelling. Kohn admits he didn’t have major aspirations for the project. It’s hard hitting and full of confrontation - just like its subject.
But “Love Means Zero” (airing on Showtime Saturday) is hardly a conventional sports documentary that looks back on the highlights of a legendary career. Now decades later, at the age of 86, Bollettieri agreed to sit down with documentary filmmaker Jason Kohn (“Manda Bala (Send a Bullet)”) to talk about it all. The two have not been on speaking terms since. And if that wasn’t heartbreaking enough for Agassi, Bollettieri didn’t give a passionate face-to-face goodbye but instead ended it all via a letter to his star. Following a grand slam win with Agassi, in 1993 Bollettieri shockingly left the player he said he loved like a son. However, the good times didn’t last forever.
