About The Filmmakers

“Behind Chalk Lines” is more than a film. It’s a tribute to the unseen heroes of West Baltimore, a call to action, and a living archive of care. It reimagines who gets to tell stories, who gets seen, and how we collectively create a more equitable and inspired future. Through the lens of a baseball league, we see the heart of a city, strong, loving, and undefeated.

Tales of victory and loss rarely reveal the complete narrative. The genuine feelings of life, the strength of the human spirit, and the bond within the community reshape our perceptions of what we believe to be true.
