00:09So the tagline, making the right play isn't easy.

00:13Ooh, that's a good one.

00:15I know, right?

00:16The synopsis tells us we've got this young basketball player trying to make his dreams

00:20come true.

00:21But there's a twist.

00:22He's also dealing with a, well, a complicated relationship.

00:26Ah, the love story.

00:27And get this, the whole film takes place during a phone call with his ex-girlfriend.

00:34So the judges' notes say it delivers on its promises.

00:47In his life.

00:48His love.

00:49Exactly.

00:50Personal and athletic struggles.

01:05Ooh, I love when they say that.

01:07Plus they praise the music and acting.

01:09Always a good sign.

01:10Now, the director calls the film a love letter and yet a grueling testimony of basketball.

01:15It's like two sides of the same coin.

01:17Maybe it's about the good and bad of chasing your dreams.

01:20Sacrifices you have to make.

01:21The tough parts, the parts no one sees.

01:24Like, what does it really cost to go after what you want?

01:27I think that's what the judges picked up on.
