The Short Game

Jeremy Avery is vying for a college golf scholarship, but his preparation and game are affected by family pressures related to his younger autistic brother Ethan. Jeremy’s path leads him on a journey of discovery both internal and of his brother’s savant like gifts, that if embraced can create an unstoppable pair.

Directed by Frank Sanza, The Short Game leans on a strong ensemble — Ben Krieger, Mackenzie Astin, Katherine Cunningham — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2025.
