Directed by Grear Patterson. Starring Jack Irving, Ben Irving, Lily Gavin, Amalia Culp, Gabe Fazio, Alejandro Castro, Larry Miller, and Stella Schnabel. SYNOPSIS: A pair of players on a successful high school baseball team, the Giants, come of age in the American South. In concept, everything about Giants Being Lonely draws me in; it’s about people from different backgrounds (mostly poverty) with all sorts of rough edges (there is everything from teenage substance abuse to taboo affairs here), it’s a coming-of-age story that doesn’t water down the harshness of the real world, and it’s even grounded in the sport of baseball. Not major leagues mind you, but high school baseball with enough effective scenes showcasing the excitement of the game and the drive of its ambitious small-town players.
