A Frank Sanza Film
Logline

Script
The Short Game, conceived by Frank Sanza, written by Frank Sanza, Larry Boatright, and E. Joren Christensen, with screenplay by Frank Sanza, is a fictional parable based on Frank's own life as a high school golfer, and the experiences, pressures, and expectations that accompanied his athletic gifts.
Telling this story through a relationship with an autistic child is a reflection of Frank’s current life as the adoring father of a high-functioning autistic son and his desire to bring awareness to the talents of such children. In these difficult times, a story of hope, values, redemption, faith, and family is needed more than ever. This timeless story is also the perfect inspirational tale for any season of life.
