Baby Boys With Hoop Dreams

This documentary is based on the book, Baby Boys With Hoop Dreams | Written & Illustrated by Jordan Lyles.

As a child, his basketball dreams were planted in unpromising soil, leaving his desire of an NBA career at a stand still. However, instruments and words would end up being his sole purpose. Music has given him something that the sport of basketball might’ve never presented; a voice.

Director Biography - Jordan Lyles

Jordan Lyles, born 1999, in Southern California. I've always had a camera in my hand since a child. Once the world of music became my pursuit, I realized the eye I developed for cinema as an adolescent went hand in hand with this endeavor. I document moments and create experiences that serve the purpose of planting seeds that can nurture a generation. Through the arts of music and film, I'm serving a purpose that will outlive the years I'm given on this earth.
