"From The Sticks", is an original short film about the unexpected journey of Austin Reaves, from a small town in Arkansas to the bright lights of Los Angeles.

This project is a special one to me. I grew up about 20 minutes from Austin. Being the same age we both played high school ball in the same area. I watched him and his brother take a small school and build it into a dynasty during his time there. I ended up moving to Texas my senior year, but even after leaving, I kept up with his journey. I went on to play NCAA hoops for a school up in Pennsylvania, and even then, I kept up with Austin during his time at Wichita State and Oklahoma. I watched him take the game that had drawn massive crowds to small Arkansas gyms, and mold it to fit high Division 1 basketball. I watched him sign a two-way deal with the Lakers...and to no surprise to anyone who watched him early on...I watched him earn a spot in the Lakers rotation. I'm not going to pretend that I knew he'd make it to the heights he has so early in his career. Nobody but Austin himself knew he was capable of that. But even from an early age, you could tell there was something special about Austin's mentality and approach to the game. I'm proud to be able to tell this incredible, unlikely story...and I hope it's one that inspires a new generation of hoopers from small towns or unique circumstances to always keep chasing their dream.
