Filmmaker Statement

Watching Wimbledon a few years ago, a particularly synchronized movement by the ball crew between points caught my attention, which led me to wonder how one becomes a ball person. When I looked it up and saw that there were tryouts for the US Open, I immediately thought that might make for an interesting film.
