“I’m not sure that Wilt becomes Wilt without growing up in Philly,” Christopher Dillon, the film’s co-director, told The Inquirer.“Philly is very entrenched in the film, and from a foundational/locational perspective, the heart of where the film lives,” added co-director Rob Ford. Making the documentary, which visits Chamberlain’s childhood home, at 401 N. Salford St., near 60th and Callowhill streets in West Philly, was an uphill task. There is no existing video footage of many of Chamberlain’s key moments, including the 100-point game, and there is little archival material than there would be for athletes who played more recently. Chamberlain died in 1999 at age 63.
