"Freeway's" sister making movie about local "super fan"

You probably know Mike McCarter as "Freeway," his nickname, and from his countless jumbo tron appearances at the Bradley Center, Miller Park and other venues. Soon, you also may know him as the star of a new documentary film.

Dee Dee Russell is a "Bohemian filmmaker" and sister to local, Milwaukee "sports fan legend" Mike McCarter.

Russell, currently living in San Francisco, is raising money to film a documentary on her brother's life. According to her website, "My Brother, Freeway Mike McCarter" (is a) feature length documentary about her brother Mike McCarter, the Milwaukee sports legend who is also an adult autistic."

Freeway's a bit of a man around town and Milwaukee legend, and he's seemingly been at just about every local sporting event for the past 20+ years. He's autistic and the subject of countless rumors. So, Russell's film will chronicle McCarter's life and "serve as an example of how living as an autistic affects an entire city."

Russell is using Kickstarter.com to raise funds for production and filming.
