Writing a time-line type of story in only 18 minutes is really hard to do, however Lori Martini pulled it off. The flashbacks to key periods of the main character's life are perfectly executed in order to build the storyline. Using the game of baseball is a great parallelism if someone has had a tough life, as the game leads itself to failure more than success. Martini's performance clearly sticks out. The whole cast was fantastic and made for a totally believable story both on and off the field. This could easily be made into a full length movie one day. I will be following the career of all involved to be sure as this short film was quite memorable.
