That sizzle reel has some of my favorite moments from principal photography on “Fuck ‘Em We Ball,” a film written and directed by me, Ari Feldman, and produced by Nora Kaye.

The film is inspired by a friend’s high school lore, but draws deeply from my own personal history, balancing poignant drama with goofball comedy.

With the tournament cancelled, the team’s captain must convince their coach — his withdrawn father, sidelined by depression — to give them the flags, and let them play.

Production wrapped a few days before Thanksgiving. Now, the long post-production process begins.

We had so much fun, as perhaps you can tell from these behind-the-scenes pictures taken by our cast and crew.

Now, we are fundraising.

Building on a $10,000 grant from Brooklyn College’s Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema, we are seeking $25,000 in order to support:

Our amazing cast: $8,300
Professionals — like our casting director, post-production supervisor and Steadicam operator — who have already helped push this film towards success: $3,500
Catering and craft services: $4,000
Camera and logistics equipment: $3,500
Color grading, sound design and sound mixing: $4,000
Festival applications and marketing: $1,700

Here’s the best part:

All donations are fully tax deductible.

We have fiscal sponsorship from a Queens-based nonprofit, the Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning.

They will accept donations on our behalf and provide us the funding, minus a fee for their services.

We plan to complete post-production by May 2026. Look out for a future email with details on a special screening of the film.

If you are considering providing foundational financial support at the level of an executive producer, please reach out to me directly!

Thank you all so much.
I can’t wait to share this story with you.
