HOOPER'S ASYLUM
WRITTEN/DIRECTED BY OLIVER STEMMLER
In the midst of March Madness, Marcus Anthony, a focused basketball player, walks into the locker room, ready for the final playoff game. The intense energy of the court is palpable—cheering fans, pounding basketballs, and the hype of the competition. But when Marcus answers a phone call, his world shatters: his father, Luke Anthony, has suddenly passed away from a heart attack.
As his team celebrates and prepares for the game, Marcus is consumed by grief, torn between honoring his father’s memory and the pressure to perform. Amid the chaos, flashbacks of his father teaching him basketball flood his mind, and the initials on his shoe become a symbol of his loss. Struggling to hold back tears, Marcus faces the hardest game of his life—one of heartbreak and personal sacrifice.
