Take a look at two short documentaries about mental health in college athletics, learn more about my upcoming thesis film, Number Fourteen, and view another short documentary about a girl's dream come true below!

A Mind Game

Number Fourteen - Preview Clip

by Annabelle Daly

My upcoming thesis film, Number Fourteen, tells the story of Camden Minacci, a minor league baseball player from Tampa, Florida. Just weeks before starting his freshman year of college at Wake Forest, his best friend, Cade Hampton, tragically lost his life. Feeling devastated and lost, Camden had to continue moving forward with his life, mourning the loss of Cade while also working to honor him throughout his rollercoaster ride of being an aspiring professional athlete. Number Fourteen is about one man, his baseball career, navigating grief, and the long-lasting impact another’s life had on him. Take a look at a preview clip here!
