Nick Springer and Kevin Laue
Don’t dismiss “Long Shot: The Kevin Laue Story,” which opened October 26th at the Quad Movie Theatre, as just a film about a one-armed basketball player.

It is so much more.
Kevin's mother and step father
This film is about the emotions of someone who has overcome significant odds, while dealing with the early death of a father who never let his son know he was loved until after he was gone.
Frank Martin, producer and friend with Kevin
Through director Franklin Martin’s lens we are lead through Kevin’s trails and tribulations. Even without a left hand; he was born a lefty and yet plays with the right because that is what was given him, he joyously triumphs. As a senior in high school he receives a full page spread in the Sports Illustrated’s Super Bowl issue, and he and his parents meet with President Bush, but like a regular person Kevin too has failures on the court when it counts the most. A hairline fracture his senior year cripples his ambitions to play basketball. In order to re-invent the dream a military academy that has a coach who gets his players onto Division One teams and even that may not pan out because of prejudice. Unlike most he overcomes his heartbreak to achieve a scholarship to a top-level college basketball program and become the first one-armed player.

Laue is an inspiration and his story brings more to the table than a manipulative story line. Laue is a thoroughbred who inspires others to greatness.
