RIVERDALE, N.Y. - Cinipix has acquired the distribution rights to Long Shot: The Kevin Laue Story and will release the film theatrically this fall in the United States.
Long Shot is a documentary on the former Manhattan College men's basketball player Kevin Laue who became the first one-handed student-athlete to receive an NCAA Division I basketball scholarship.
“Last summer I played 'Long Shot' on a white sheet nailed to the side of a hut in Africa,” Laue told Variety recently. “The entire village was in tears. And they were laughing too. Totally moved by it. So if this film can inspire a village in Africa, I know it can show people in the U.S. that nothing is impossible if you put your heart and soul into it.”
Long Shot is a film by Franklin Martin and produced by Dutchmen Films. The feature film will be produced by Cinipix with Martin's Dutchmen Films and Billy Raftery. The film will be directed by Martin and executive produced by Julian McMahon, Charles Loventhal and Dain Blair.
