It’s kinda hard to summarize my project in a few lines but I’ll try. If you want to know about the motivations and details of the project, I’d advise you to watch the video above on YouTube where I explain everything.

I’ve been playing basketball for over 10 years now and throughout my young life, the game blessed me with me so many things: I met some of my best friends through basketball, got to see so many places and made countless of precious memories.

Everybody who plays this game will agree that basketball just has a certain vibe to it that you can’t really describe…an unique culture unlike in any other sport. Basketball is more than a sport, it’s a way of life, a creative form of expressing yourself through movement: basketball is rhythm, dance, soul, funk, jazz, art, hip-hop…poetry in motion. This type of vibe transcends different cultures. We may speak different languages and have different values based on the culture of our respective countries but once the ball starts to bounce we are all the same. And no matter where you come from – we all experience the same joy that this game brings to us.

During my travels in different countries, I always had my basketball with me and this allowed me to experience the beauty of our basketball community. The ball let me meet a lot of great people and got me a place to sleep numerous times. There are so many stories I could tell but at one point I just thought: “All these memories are way too precious to just get lost like that, maybe I should document them and share them with the world .”  

And this is how the project was born:

I want to document and portray basketball culture everywhere on this planet – (b)all around the world!

It doesn’t matter the level of playing or if it’s streetball or organized, professional or amateur basketball – everything that seems interesting will be documented…

…via pictures on this homepage, via videos on YouTube or with the world map on this page where I will tag all the courts that I’ve played on. I just want to play and film basketball in as many places as possible and some day in the future I want to make a cinematic movie out of all the footage I have.

As of now, may 2020, I plan on starting the project as soon as the COVID-19 pandemic allows me to travel freely. Like everyone else, I still have to work and earn money to somehow finance all these travels, so it will take some time to complete a project like this. Or actually, you can’t “complete” this project – it’s a life-long project but let’s assume the major part is done when the movie comes out. This might take many years but you know what they say: life’s a marathon, not a sprint.

So thank you for being patient and being with me on this journey, I appreciate every single person who is interested in this project.

Love and blessings
