Rory Karpf is an American filmmaker specializing in sports related themes. He has won four Emmys and a Peabody Award for his work.[1] In 2007, Karpf directed Dale, a theatrical film on the life of NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt. When it premiered on the cable network CMT, it was the highest rated program in the network's history.[2] It is also believed to be the highest selling sports DVD of all time. {{citation needed |date=November 2013}} After the success of Dale, Karpf went on to direct the racing related films The Ride of Their Lives, Together and Tim Richmond: To the Limit, which was part of ESPN's 30 for 30 series.[3] Karpf was praised for directing "one of only a few films in the series that tells its story with a clarity that we didn’t have when the events occurred."[4] He continued his relationship with ESPN directing two more films for the network, Wendell Scott and Herschel.[5] In 2011 he wrote and directed the short film Marbles, an official selection in the Los Angeles Short Film Festival.[6] In 2011, Karpf directed Herschel, the only authorized film on Heisman trophy winning football player Herschel Walker.[7] He followed that up with Lolo, a documentary on Olympic track athlete Lolo Jones. Karpf was granted exclusive access to Jones and was able to uncover material never before seen on the athlete.[8] He is currently working on a film about a tornado that hit Atlanta in 2008.[9] References1. ^http://www.rorykarpf.com 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cmt.com/news/news-in-brief/1568989/dale-breaks-ratings-records-for-cmt.jhtml|title=Dale Breaks Ratings Records for CMT|publisher=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/blog/from_the_marbles/post/ESPN-profiles-Tim-Richmond-with-October-30-for-?urn=nascar,259065|title=ESPN profiles Tim Richmond with October '30 for 30' doc|publisher=}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.slantmagazine.com/house/2010/10/days-of-thunder-tim-richmond-to-the-limit/ |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2012-07-01 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120110105646/http://www.slantmagazine.com/house/2010/10/days-of-thunder-tim-richmond-to-the-limit/ |archivedate=2012-01-10 |df= }} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1715501/|title=Rory Karpf|website=IMDb}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://marblesmovie.com/|title=MARBLES|website=marblesmovie.com}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://frontrow.espn.go.com/2011/09/inside-sec-storied-herschel-part-2/|title=Inside SEC Storied: Herschel, Part 2 - ESPN Front Row|date=7 September 2011|publisher=}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.secdigitalnetwork.com/NEWS/tabid/473/Article/234892/sec-storied-lolo-qa-rory-karpf.aspx|title=Southeastern Conference|website=www.secdigitalnetwork.com}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://onlineathens.com/dogbytes/basketball/2012-06-25/espn-producing-documentary-about-2008-sec-basketball-tournament-and|title=ESPN producing documentary about 2008 SEC basketball tournament and tornado that hit Georgia Dome|publisher=}} External links
