Angelo Pizzo grew up in Bloomington and received a bachelor’s degree in political science from IU. He teamed up with former Sigma Nu fraternity brother David Anspaugh to make “ Hoosiers” and “ Rudy,” two of the most beloved sports movies of all time. The pair’s most recent film is a game about soccer, “ The Game of Their Lives.”
After living in southern California for the last thirty years, Pizzo and his family recently moved back to Bloomington, where he raises his two sons, pursues new film projects, and serves on the board of the Heartland Film Festival.
