Sat, 04 Apr 2026 05:00:00 -0500

When we found out about the opportunity to travel to Savannah Georgia and tell the story about the Savannah Bananas broadcast team, it was a no brainer that we had to interview the man behind millions of views, Ian Schrift. In this interview I did with Ian, we talk all about being a Savannah Bananas videographer like his journey, the gear and preparation with the players when creating these viral moments. Expect laughs and an inside look into Banana Ball as we peel back the curtain.
