50 Over is a documentary film that follows 4 friends as they travel to all 50 states, in 50 days, stopping in each state to play a round of golf. From Maine to Florida, from Florida to the Midwest, from the midwest through the four corners, the pacific northwest, even Alaska and Hawaii, this film explores the beauty and diversity of this country through the lens of public golf. The conflict of driving a '91 Dodge camper van, the constant mystery of the next nights accommodations, and a schedule that many deemed impossible, the narrative certainly does not lack drama. However, apart from the inevitable ups and downs of such a journey, this film explores much more. Golf is a game that for so long has carried with it a reputation. Golf has come to be synonymous with terms such as elitism, upper class, and the country club. This is not an unfair assessment, however, golf has another side. By playing public, inexpensive courses, talking with course owners and the wide variety of people who frequent the tattered fairways of this country, this film paints a picture of golf, away from the country club, at the courses that have helped shape the lives of so many.

Now that the film is done, we are working on how best to get it out into the world.  First, we are partnering with golf companies and organizations that share a similar message as 50 Over, to set up screenings where these said organizations can pitch what they do to the audience.  Using the money generated from these screenings, we will submit to film festivals across the country.  At these festivals, we will look to meet people that will be able to help us distribute the film publicly via online services, educational screenings, etc.
