Our summer series is called Outdoors for a reason, but we have to admit that our rain pivot to the Casino Theatre for last Thursday’s screening of GIVE ME THE BALL! felt like kismet. We’re so grateful to our audience for embracing the change and giving Director @instawolff a warm and generous welcome to Newport for our pre-film conversation with @billbartholomew! Huge thanks also to @laineydionnemusic for kicking off our evening! We’ll see you all at Fort Adams on Thursday for our final screening of the summer presented by @liladelmancompass @compass.rhodeisland - MIGHTY MARY!

UPDATE: NOW SCREENING INDOORS AT THE CASINO THEATRE GIVE ME THE BALL! lands at the Casino Theatre on 8/20! 🎾 Our second-to-last summer screening presented by @liladelmancompass @compass.rhodeisland is sure to be a smash! 💥 Billie Jean King is a global icon whose impact on tennis and equality resonates around the world. But the personal turmoil behind this transformational figure has in many ways remained hidden from view. In GIVE ME THE BALL!, we come to understand the sacrifices King was forced to make behind the scenes, even as she fought high-profile battles for the professionalization of her sport and equal treatment for women. Through a trove of rarely seen archival material and powerfully honest interviews with King, this film explores the depths of agony she endured so that others might follow a less painful path. It is the story of selflessness, struggle, and triumph that shines an unforgettable light on a figure who is widely admired but, until now, never properly understood. Venue Opens – 6:00 PM 🍿 Live music by Lainey Dionne – 6:10 PM 🎶 Pre-film conversation with Elizabeth Wolff (Director) Moderated by Bill Bartholomew – 7:20 PM 🎙️ Film starts – 8:00PM 🎥 This is a FREE event - $10 suggested donation per adult 🎟️ NO pets allowed at this venue! Bring your friends for a special evening celebrating tennis royalty! Grab a bite from our local food vendors onsite! For more details, click the link in our bio!

The last dance at sundance. I am finally home. Cold and all. I will miss the laughter. I will miss the movies. I will miss the people. I will miss the talks. I will miss the lunches. But I will miss the community most of all. I’ve been coming here since 2000. Sleeping on peoples couches and floors, running into people I haven’t seen in years , getting good belly laughs, inspiration, the excitement of getting into parties and the disappointment of not getting into parties. In some ways I’ve grown up here, in other ways I felt like a child again. The last dance at sundance. I’m so glad that I was there to experience it and with so many people that I love.

So many of my personal and career highlights happened here in Park City at the Sundance Film Festival. My career started here in 1998, when we premiered The Farm: Angola USA . What you may not know is that my family also started here. Back at that first Sundance, a person I had met while I was in high school left a note for me to me via my publicist, the amazing Susan Norget. That person was Dan Cogan. Since then we have returned with over a dozen films. We have seen the passing of the torch from Geoff Gilmore to the glorious John Cooper to the force that is Kim Yutani. We have mourned the loss of its spirit leader, Robert Redford, and celebrated his daughter Amy as she brings into this next chapter. We have put our kids in ski school, crashed in houses the Geralyn Dreyfous found for us, danced our asses off, and most of all, reveled in the divine art of filmmaking. This year, saying goodbye to Park City, could not have been more meaningful. Having Billie Jean King, Ilana Kloss and GIVE ME THE BALL! premiere at Eccles, at this moment of cultural upheaval in 2026, hit differently. Billie’s story is a joyous and fierce one of tenacity, resilience, and triumph. Billie’s favorite quote is from Coretta Scott King, and it bears repeating here: “Struggle is a never-ending process. Freedom is never really won; you earn it and win it in every generation.” Billie can show us the way. Thank you to RSA and Rocket for bringing this project to us to ESPN and Disney for believing in us!.
