The short film presents an interview with Baylor Men’s Basketball Head Coach Scott Drew and seeks to elucidate his championship-winning philosophy that “the only game that matters is winning the game of life.” In the introduction, I consider three intertwined characteristics of storytelling: its universality, broad social impact, and moral influence on its audience. I then consider how these aspects are uniquely consequential in film. I end with a reflection on several storytelling lessons I gleaned while editing my short film over the course of twelve months.en-USBaylor University projects are protected by copyright.
