The night of UNC alumnus Taylor Sharp’s Chapel Hill film debut was one of celebration. It celebrated sport and its unique talent of connecting all walks of life. It celebrated and paid deference to spontaneity when Sharp shared how he met his future filmmaking partner, Dan Hedges, on a plane back to America after Sharp’s summer of volunteering in Zimbabwe in 2013.
