A Basketball Star Breaks Under His Father’s Pressure | Olde E - by Xavier Burgin | USC Student Film

A rising basketball star is on the brink of recruitment. But his father pushes him too far. Olde E tells the story of a young man and his father. The young man is a rising basketball star in South LA, on the brink of recruitment by the same school that once recruited his now-alcoholic, abusive father. Tensions between the two rise to a nearly devastating level, as the elder man's regret and anger pushes his son to the breaking point. 🎬 Subscribe for more shorts 🎬: ‪@RealityEndsHere‬ Follow us on the social media: ➤ Facebook:   / usccinema   ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/usccinema/?hl #studentfilm #shortfilm #goodintentions #studentfilm #usc CREDITS Original Title - Olde E Director - Xavier Burgin Writer - Tiara Marshall Producers - Jenna Cavelle, Jacob Eben Cinematographers - Adam Linzey, Mario Ricardo Rodriguez Editing - Katie McClellan, Matt Zunich Mix - Mark Allen, Derek Sepe Sound - Mark Allen, Derek Sepe Soundtrack - Erick Schroder Cast - Mike Wade,Kent Faulcon, Amy Barriga, Rachel Daigh, Sein Gay Year - 2016 FESTIVALS & AWARDS Ryan Murphy Television Director’s Showcase 43rd Student Academy Awards - Semifinalist Winner - Best Crowdfunded Film Award - Sidewalk Film Festival Winner - Best Actor - 2017 Las Vegas Black Film Festival Winner - 2016 BEA Festival King Foundation Awards Finalist - Best Narrative Short - 25th Pan African Film Festival Semifinalist - UCFTI Film Competition ----- Official Selection - 2018 New Voices in Black Cinema Official Selection - 2018 Bronzelens Film Festival Official Selection - 2017 Black Harvest Film Festival Official Selection - 2017 New Voices in Black Cinema Festival Official Selection - 2017 Phoenix Film Festival Official Selection - 2017 Terminus Film Festival Official Selection - 2017 Crossroads Film Festival Official Selection - 2016 Urbanworld Film Festival Official Selection - 2016 Los Angeles International Short Film Festival Official Selection - 2016 Legacy of Black Women Film Showcase ------------------------------------- This is the place to discover films created by students at the USC School of Cinematic Arts.
