The thing that attracts so many of us to sport is the struggle – the process one undergoes to achieve excellence.
The storylines are what makes sports real. The overcoming of obstacles, the beating of the odds, the lifelong journey for a title shot. They’re relatable, inspiring.
When a director can capture that inspiration – the greatness of achievement, or at least the pursuit of it – it makes for exceptional content. When a director can deliver that in just a few minutes, that’s something special.
But these shorter, lesser-known mini-doc style shorts often go unnoticed. They aren’t delivered on Netflix or mainstream TV, and they’re usually found hidden away on some blog or obscure Vimeo channel.
But to those who embrace the beauty of sport, these are the hidden gems we crave.
Be inspired.
