Foolish Club Studios is is a tribute to Chiefs and American Football League founder Lamar Hunt, with the original owners embracing the “foolish” effort to try and take on the National Football League. As the Chiefs have become a dominant force in the NFL, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and stars like Travis Kelce, their relevance in popular culture has also grown.

I look forward to the great stories that Foolish Club Studios will bring to life on the screen.”
