ST. LOUIS, WE'RE COMING HOME! 🏀❤️ This one is extra special. I grew up in St. Louis, and long before I ever imagined becoming a filmmaker, this was the city that shaped me, supported me, and gave me the confidence to dream big. After years of making Hoop Like This and traveling with the film across the country, getting to bring it back to my hometown for the St. Louis International Film Festival feels like a real full-circle moment. We've been lucky enough to sell out every festival screening so far, but this is the one where I especially want to see familiar faces in the audience. Friends, family, teachers, old classmates, and everyone who's cheered me on along the way. This one's for you. 🥹 🎬 HOOP LIKE THIS | ST. LOUIS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 📅 Saturday, November 7, 2026 🕛 12:00 PM (Noon) 📍 Washington University's Brown Hall Auditorium Centennial Greenway, St. Louis, MO 63105 🎟️ FREE SCREENING! RSVP REQUIRED. LINK IN BIO! If you're in STL, I'd love nothing more than to share this film with you on the big screen. And if you know someone in St. Louis, please send this their way! See you at home. ❤️🏀 #HoopLikeThis #SLIFF #StLouis #StLouisInternationalFilmFestival #IndependentFilm SouthAsianStories
