THE TOWERS

Director, Producer, Editor

Five-time national champions of dwarf basketball, the New York Towers raised the bar for dwarfs playing basketball around the world.

This year, the Towers compete for the gold medal against six teams at the Dwarf Athletic Association of America National Games. Through this team, they show the world that you don’t have to be tall to play ball.
