About Balls in Play
Raunchy director Jeff Kincaid is back with an adventure on the field, and especially in the locker room, of American football. Led by Blue Blake, an openly gay player who has no qualms about showing it, and his teammate, Paul Carrigan, a homophobic and secretly homo player.
Directed by Jeff Kincaid, Balls in Play leans on a strong ensemble — Blue Blake, Paul Carrigan, Kyle McKenna — 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 1996.
