About This Video
"39 Hoops" is a documentary about John Hulme, a lifelong non-professional basketball player coming to the realization that his playing days are coming to an end. Made by Stephen Beeston in Dena Seidel's 'Documentary Filmmaking for Writers' class, "39 Hoops" shows John torn between the fact that his age, injuries, and ailing body are telling him to stop playing the game, yet his heart and mind are telling him to continue— at least until he can successfully pass on his passion to his young son.
