You’ve heard Harvard grad Jeremy Lin’s story to the NBA. Now there’s a documentary about a female Harvard basketball player Emily Tay called “No Look Pass.” Here’s more about the film:
No Look Pass is the coming-of-age American Dream story of Emily ‘Etay’ Tay, a first generation Burmese immigrant from Chinatown, Los Angeles. Despite the fact that girls don’t play sports in the Burmese tradition, Etay miraculously becomes a nationally-ranked basketball star at Harvard University thanks to her patented move, the no look pass. But Emily is caught between two worlds and feels tormented by her double life. She strives to play professionally in Germany but her dreams are no slam dunk — sexuality, family, race, and Don’t Ask Don’t Tell conspire against her, firing her passions on and off the court.
Three years, 300 hours of footage, thousands of miles (to Los Angeles, Cambridge, & Germany), and countless friends’ couches later…No Look Pass is inches away from completion and has been accepted to its world premiere film festival this summer. The people behind the film are looking for funds to finish the film and submit it to film festivals. Learn more about supporting the film here.
