EVENTS TRANSPIRING BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER A HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL GAME

It’s 1999 and the Middleview Ducks boys basketball team are about to play the most low-stakes game of their lives. As the team prepares for another certain loss, the dramas around the game become more of a focus than the score. Locker room conversations about existentialism, an assistant coach’s obsession with an NBA offence technique, organizing a radical theatre protest, and frantically searching for an osteoporosis stricken canine are just some of the events that take place before, during, and after the high school basketball game.

"...the film recalls The Mezzanine by Nicholson Baker, burrowing so far into minutia it comes out the other side into profundity."

- Brief Take

"...a fun, quirky glimpse into the very ordinary lives of some teenagers."

"What Stenson captures is the visceral memory of walking the same halls every day for years, trying not to get dunked on"
