Ball in Hand
About nine months after moving back to Iowa a dream project of mine finally came to fruition, making a documentary short about my friend Scott Buckholtz's an annual pool tournament. Scott is the perfect emcee for a project such as this. Minus some poor lighting and shaky-cam, I don't know how this project could have turned out any different. While the tournament has ceased to be, we will always remember its glory thanks to this piece.
