We’ve partnered with
@newheightsnyc for over five years, so when they asked us to help commemorate their 20th anniversary with a short film, we jumped at the opportunity.
Since 2005 they’ve used basketball as a hook to help thousands of student-athletes garner the skills needed to graduate from high school, attend college, and become leaders in their community.
After the success of previous collaborations, we reconnected with long-time collaborator and all-around bud writer/director
@mileswarren21 to helm this one, and, unsurprisingly, he delivered again. Total slam dunk (pun intended).
Huge thanks to the incredibly talented cast & crew who poured long days and a lot of heart into bringing this story to life. And an extra-special thank you to the executive team at New Heights, Ted Smith, Adam Berkowitz, Ashley Faison and Josh Klinski, for their vision, partnership, and trust over the years.
