EXCLUSIVE: 1500 youngsters from all over the globe compete each year in the World Championships of Junior Golf. Eight of the pint-sized competitors (including Allan Kournikova, Anna Kournikova’s 7-year-old brother) are the subjects of The Short Game, a SXSW 2013 documentary world premiere. Emmy-winning director Josh Greenbaum previously helmed short projects for Paramount, Sony, Fox, Comedy Central, Funny Or Die, and The Clinton Foundation and enlisted veteran help for his feature-length debut, including award winning producer John Battsek (The Imposter, Searching For Sugar Man) and Oscar-winner David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada, Hope Springs), who executive produced. Composer Mark Mothersbaugh (Rushmore, The Life Aquatic) scored the docu which screens Sunday, March 10 in Austin. Submarine is repping sales. Watch the trailer here:


This looks amazing!
Holy Sh*t. How did I not know about this and why am I not going to SXSW????
I can’t wait to see it.
Some heavy hitters involved in making this – but its the kids that win it. This will sell.

This looks sensational; can’t wait to see the full-length!
Riviting…I want to see more!
Man this brings back memories of being a young punk having temper tantrums on the golf course while mom and dad drove me all over the damn place. This looks amazing!
Truly fascinating subject. And what a fantastic team. Looking forward to seeing this illuminating doc at SXSW.
Way to go!!! Looks awesome
Looks wonderful can’t wait to see it !!! I will pass it along to everyone I know
So well made… i cannot wait to see this. Kudos to this entire team.
Brings back memories of my childhood and not very pleasant ones. The world of Junior Golf is pretty harsh and it looks like they don’t shy away from the negatives of it. This should be good.
As a golfer, I don’t know whether to be amazed or super-depressed. (Looks like the kids could embarrass me in every way.) Anyway, the trailer really drew me in, so I’m guessing the docu will be just as great. Can’t wait to see entire film.
cannot wait for this!!!!!
Way too cool. Can’t miss.
Awesome can’t wait to see the film!
Brilliant! Cannot wait to see!!!
Looks fantastic–can’t wait to see it! Congratulations, Josh!!!
The movie was funny and fascinating to watch potential champions work so hard to achieve at such a young age. Theh move was totally engrossing Too bad the hole-in-one boy didn’t get a bigger piece- the entire audience clapped when they saw it. Everyone applauded at the end.
