JAMES THOMAS THINKS THE EARTH IS FLAT
Screenwriter
An unlikely buddy comedy about an 8th grade science student from inner city Detroit who crosses paths with the NBA's most notorious Flat Earther, and makes it his mission to win the National Science Fair by convincing the basketball superstar that the world is, in fact, an oblate spheroid. A funny, surprising, and heartwarming story that is deeply poignant in this moment: it's about how science has failed the Black community, and how we can start to change that.
