Strong Hold (Short Film)
A Story Rooted in Legacy and Love Set in the heart of Queens, New York, Stronghold is a short film that captures the powerful bond between a young man and his grandfather and the game that ties them together. Basketball isn’t just a sport for him; it’s a symbol of love, discipline, and the memories they built on cracked city courts. After losing his grandfather, the young man clings to the lessons and strength passed down to him, turning that emotional “stronghold” into fuel for his future. His dedication pays off when he earns a scholarship to play Division I basketball a dream both he and his grandfather shared. Stronghold is more than a basketball story it’s a tribute to family, perseverance, and the legacy that shapes who we become.
