The Tao of Pong

Running time: 22 mins

15 year old Hank Houska (Paulo Costanzo) was known as a ping-pong prodigy. But after deliberately hitting a ball at his opponent, Maurice DeSalvo (Jake Busey), he was disqualified and never fulfilled his dream of being the best. Years later, an insecure Hank runs into an older, cockier, Maurice, and vows revenge. He goes to train with the one man who has beaten Maurice - the taoist master, Lao Tzu (Keone Young).

What ensues is a comedy about Ping-Pong, self-esteem, and the whimsicality of life. As Lao Tzu might say, ?When you are on a journey and the end keeps getting further away, then you realize that the real end is the journey itself.?
