Top Spin, a feature length table tennis documentary, will screen at the Nashville Film Festival at Regal Green Hills Stadium 16 this Saturday, April 18 at 4:00 pm and Sunday, April 19 at 12:30 pm.

Newgy and some of our top local table tennis athletes will be putting on a table tennis exhibition on the Red Carpet for the media and audience on Saturday, April 18 from 2:30-3:30 pm before the 4:00 pm screening of Top Spin.

Top Spin explores what is at stake for three teen table tennis athletes striving for the Olympics and the families who support and sacrifice for them. But with no foreseen professional future for the sport in the U.S., in addition to the pressures of rigorous training, international tournaments, schoolwork and SAT’s — is it all worth it in the end?

Created in 2011.

Starring: Ariel Hsing and Lily Zhang of Northern California, and Michael Landers of Long Island, New York

Directed by: Sara Newens & Mina T. Son

Produced by: Jonathan Bricklin & Frank Raharinosy (Executive Producers), Yen Le (Co-Producer)
