A film you have to see.
The Film
What if you simply
went for a Long Shot?
LONG SHOT follows four men who stop debating what is possible – and decide to find out.
A story of second chances, dual identities, and a goal that begins to define their entire lives.
The Idea
A banker, two blue-collar workers
and a dildo salesman.
They’re trying to make the Olympics.
It sounds like a joke.
Until it isn’t.
The rest belongs on the big screen.
