46 days and counting!


 
You are Invited! 46 days and counting till the US premier of Spirit of Love which will be held at The Texas Christian Film festival in Houston.
 
NBA player Mike “Stinger” Glenn plays himself in this wonderful film inspired by his real life Basketball camps for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing. In a unique casting, deaf & hard of hearing, and hearing actors work together and deliver a film which is authentic, charming, competitive, funny, and challenging.
 
Spirit of Love is a diverse coming of age story. A group of misfit teens arrive at the 33rd annual basketball camp, which is the first time girls will attend the camp. Some come with hoop dreams, while others are trying to survive tumultuous teenage angst.
Alexi arrives angry and at odds with his Dad Coach Phil, while Ford wants everyone to know he’s more than Deaf, and Maddie thinks everyone sees her as a freak. Not only do they learn life lessons through the game of basketball, they soon learn what it means to soar like Eagles, Win or Lose.
 
Spirit of Love will motivate, encourage, uplift and inspire all audiences.
The film features an amazing score by Alex Grant and a beautiful title song “Spirit of Love” co-written by Producer, Director Darla Rae & Nashville’s 2012 Inspirational Female vocalist of the year Laura Dodd and is performed by Dodd, who also appears as herself in the film.
The film was filmed in 14 days with a team of 20 ASL interpreters.
 
Spirit of Love recently was awarded the Dove Foundation seal of approval and Four Doves.
The Dove Foundation has been advocating and approving family films for 20 years. The Dove Foundation says, “This inspirational and remarkable story just may have you cheering by movie's end! We are pleased to award the film our Dove "Family-Approved" Seal for all ages. See this one soon and it just may give you a spark when you most need one!

The film will screen with captions so that deaf & hard of hearing audience members may enjoy our story. Filmmaker Darla Rae and cast members including Mike Glenn will be available for Q&A following the film. Shoot Hoops @6:00pm w/Mike Glenn.
