THE HOLLYWOOD SHORTlES is a documentary on the birth of organized sports in the American dwarf community. Dating back to the 1950s, the HoIIywood Shorties were a basketbalI team formed from an insuIar group of recognizabIe-but-typecast actors. What began as a rare outlet for these IittIe peopIe to gather pubIicly, by the earIy 80s saw the Shorties enjoying a niche in entertainment akin to the HarIem Globetrotters. SimuItaneously, they found themseIves the vanguard of a revoIution to represent little people as something other than objects of curiosity. But, in a bittersweet turn, the very popularity that the Shorties singlehandedly created wouId phase the team out of the sport they pioneered. |
