The Phenom

A young pitcher struggles to throw strikes in the major leagues, and his talent is matched only by the turmoil brewing inside him. With memories of an abusive past coming to light, he's sent to a sports psychologist, leading to a journey of self-discovery that threatens to disrupt his game forever. Shot primarily in Atlanta, Georgia, "The Phenom" marks the writing and directing debut of Noah Buschel, and it's a powerful exploration of the pressures faced by professional athletes and the long-lasting impact of childhood trauma.
