Details for the movie "Amateur" are down below.
Coach Nick broke down the game of this 20 year Latvian rookie, examining how he's been contributing on both ends of the floor. Porzingis is supremely skilled for someone who is 7'3" tall and has the rare ability to post up or spot up. As he matures, gets stronger, and more adjusted to the speed of the NBA game, there is no doubt in my mind he will be worth every bit of his ranking as the 4th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft.
"AMATEUR" is a forthcoming feature film Executive Produced by NBA champion and All-Star TONY PARKER of the San Antonio Spurs, produced by NETFLIX andMANDALAY PICTURES ("WHEN THE GAME STANDS TALL").

"AMATEUR" is the story of a 14 year-old basketball phenom whose mixtape gets millions of views on YouTube. He is recruited to play for the high school team of a boarding school, where he struggles to fit in with his older teammates.

We are casting REAL BASKETBALL PLAYERS to STAR in the film. No acting experience necessary - but basketball skills are required!

We are looking for one very young player (character is 14; actor should be age 12-16) and four older players (characters are high school seniors; actors should be 17-24 (college aged and older is fine)).
