Dreams. We’ve all got ‘em. Whether our ambition is to be president, climb Everest, or create the perfect sandwich, relentless ambition lives within us. Sometimes we remember our dreams, sometimes not, yet they are the subconscious current which propels us to do. These dreams often don't materialize–and perhaps this is for the best. I know I would not be a good president, and think, unfortunately, that a marshmallow and steak sandwich wouldn’t be so delicious.
Our dream is to make a film, and we need your help! Shooting in June of 2026, written and directed by Daniel Glickman, produced by Other Jack Productions, we present Leaguebound. This new sports comedy about what it takes to make it big can become more than a dream with your help. We've put together a small budget to pay for locations, actors, and equipment. Any contribution you can make would be tossing us a major alley-oop, and we're ready to slam dunk it into a hilarious and heartfelt film. If you'd like to know more about the film, read our synopsis below and please consider donating. Thank you so much!
Tom Drizzon, the film’s protagonist, wants to make the greatest basketball mixtape ever; think John Wall in high school or Caitlin Clark in college. The only problem? He’s pushing 30, he’s out of shape, and he’s not very good at basketball.
Every day, Drizzon goes to the court to farm clips, as the kids say. Alone, he visualizes his most athletic self in hopes that literally anyone will notice. Local high schoolers taunt him, but Tom is resolute in pursuit of his dream. He lives with his Mom, who implores him to get a job at his Uncle Greggy’s store. Tom would rather do just about anything else. Things come to a head when Derick P., a varsity basketball player, challenges Tom to a game. Will this be Tom’s moment to shine, to finally get that dreamy highlight, or will his ambitions come crashing down?
Adult life can impede our ability to dream. Unabashed ambition in a child is the most natural thing in the world, but in an adult it's seen as crazy. We hope Tom's story can be a light reminder to us all that dreams, painful and stupid as they can be, are worth seeing through.
