BASKETBALL STATE

tHE LAND OF 10,000 HOOPS

This one belongs to Minnesota.

Basketball State: The Story of Terrence Brown follows the remarkable journey of Terrence Brown, an undersized guard from Minnesota whose relentless pursuit of greatness carries him from overlooked prospect to one of the best point guards in college basketball.

Set against the rich backdrop of Minnesota basketball culture, the film explores resilience, sacrifice, and the unwavering belief required to chase a dream when the odds are stacked against you.

Filmed over five years with unprecedented access, Basketball State is more than the story of one athlete—it is a portrait of an entire basketball community built on grit, hope, and heart.

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

"Basketball State holds a special place in my heart because it combines the two things that shaped my life: basketball and filmmaking.

For more than five years I've documented Terrence's journey. From an undersized kid chasing impossible dreams to becoming one of the best players in college basketball.

But this film is about more than basketball.

It's about belief. Community. Home.

It's about the people who built Minnesota basketball and the next generation determined to carry that legacy forward.

Every character in this film has a different love story with the game.

I hope audiences leave inspired to chase their own."
