Script: Serville Poblete
A production of the National FIlm Board of Canada.
A fast-paced look at friendship, family and the journey to manhood in modern society, King’s Court is a National Film Board short film that blurs the line between documentary and fiction, immersing viewers in the raw emotions and struggles of two lifelong friends in Toronto’s Bleecker Street neighbourhood—one of Canada’s most diverse and densely populated areas. Through engaging, cinematic storytelling both on and off their favourite basketball court, we root for these inspiring young men in pursuit of identity and acceptance.
