Feature Film & Trailer edited by Barry Kolsky for Cut My Flix
The film inspired by Mike "Stinger" Glenn and his real life basketball camps for the deaf & hard of hearing. NBA player Glenn plays himself in this film when a group of misfit teens arrive at the 33rd annual basketball camp, which is the first time girls will attend the camp. Some come with hoop dreams while others are trying to survive tumultuous teenage angst. Not only do they learn life lessons through the game of basketball, they soon learn what it means to soar like Eagles, Win or Lose. Cast is made up of deaf & hard of hearing teens with little or no acting experience. True authenticity comes across in the film and proves basketball is the same whether your deaf or not.The film also features deaf Olympian and hall of famer Willie Brown Jr who played div 1 for Hofstra University.Willie attended the camps growing up and now coaches at the camps.Over 20 interpreters were involved in the making of this film including Gallaudets own MJ Williams who served as a consultant.

Stop bullying those who are deaf or hard of hearing. It's OK to be different.
At the end of the day teens are teens deaf or hearing. This story began in 1950's at GSD (Georgia School for the Deaf) and ultimately took Mike to the NBA.
