Back in 2008 some students from SupInfocom Arles (South of France) reached me out for a special project around Earl Manigault and Rucker Park. From the Hoop is a short 3D movie inspired by the life of this street legend better known as the Goat. The scene takes place in the streets of Harlem, Earl tries to escape his fears and malaise embodied in two satanic ballers. The chase ends up in the holy place of Rucker park, the Goat got challenged on the court by his two assailants, a furious battle for the small guard who reaches his salvation thanks to his basketball skills.

Peep the short movie below and the making of on the official website : http://www.fromthehoop.com/

Congrats to Rémi Dessinges, Anthony Arnoux and Guillaume Fesquet for this beautiful tribute to Earl Manigault.
