Genre: Documentary

Release Date: July 23

Cast: Brian B Marable

What good young athlete doesn't dream of playing pro sports? The allure is intoxicating. Especially for the talented. And it can sometimes warp an athlete and their family's judgment. And even though the odds are daunting, the mission of every athlete is to play on the highest level. 10 million athletes play basketball every year. Of that 10 million, only 900,000 will play high school basketball. Of that 900,000, only 5,000 will play college basketball. Of that 5,000, only 96 college basketball players will be drafted each year. This documentary wants to focus on athletes and their families, as they go on the journey of trying to make it to that level, as well as the different entities that are a part of this journey. This journey does not happen overnight. It is a process that takes years of hard work and dedication and quite frankly a whole lot of luck. That is why this documentary is called The Process.
