The Pistol Shrimps

directed by Brent Hodge, USA 2016, 75'

  • The Pistol Shrimps, Shecago Bulls, Traveling Pants, Princess Lay-Ups are all names of basketball teams, amateur, women's basketball leagues operating in California. Even though the entirety is reminiscent of a joke, and the players on the Pistol Shrimps are largely comics, actresses, and girls involved in the entertainment industry, the fight and the rivalry are quite serious. For Aubrey Plazy, a comedy film and television star as well as for her teammates, this is a way to abreact from the stresses of show business, as one actress says – she's playing to win. From this bold documentary, we can see that the problems of the first world can be just as real.
