The game is played in the blink of an eye.

A cerebral documentary meditation on baseball's fastball as a metaphor for human limitation and the transcendence of logic through intuition and primal competition.

Since 1912, baseball has been a game obsessed with statistics and speed. Thrown at upwards of 100 miles per hour, a fastball moves too quickly for human cognition and accelerates into the realm of intuition. Fastball is a look at how the game at its highest levels of achievement transcends logic and even skill, becoming the primal struggle for man to control the uncontrollable.
