Director Statement

'The Art of Tennis' is a love letter to the sport of tennis and David Attenborough nature documentaries. I challenged myself to make a film with a zero-dollar budget to remove any obstacles or excuses that kept me from pursuing other creative projects. Thank you to everyone who is considering adding it to their festival line-up!
