Sub Eleven Seconds
Sub Eleven Seconds, a documentary short film on Sha’Carri Richardson directed by Bafic and executive produced by Virgil Abloh, will world premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.
Sub Eleven Seconds is a poetic imagining of the quest of Sha’Carri Richardson, a young track & field athlete, to achieve her dream of qualifying for the Olympic Games. Sprinting the 100-meter dash is one of the most expressive feats a human being can attempt; what is it like to spend years of one's life dedicated to clocking the shortest conceivable time? A rumination on time, loss, and hope, Sub Eleven Seconds distills the proverbial "10,000 hours" along Sha'Carri's path to master her craft, as she seeks to run the 100-meter dash in under 11 seconds on the world's stage.
