When the action on the other side of my lens is a blur of metal collisions,high speed wheel revolutions, young people cornering like electricity punctuated by unexpected moments of poetry in motion, you would think that I am making an explosive hollywood blockbuster. Well this is better in my view, It’s real life. This is a documentary of young people playing wheelchair basketball who are pushing them selves to the limit being the best they can be and loving every second. I am looking to find the story that beats deep in their hearts and makes them hurtle around a court like they have a Wile E coyote style rocket under their chairs. I have already suspected that this sport they play at full throttle is also how they play life. I cant wait to document this movie.
