American Track athlete Sha’Carri Richardson is the subject of a new documentary short set to premiere at the virtual 2022 Sundance Film Festival.
The film, which is titled Sub Eleven Seconds, is directed by the filmmaker Bafic and is executive produced by the late fashion designer Virgil Abloh — who died in November from heart cancer.
According to Sundance, 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 … 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.”
The 21-year-old Dallas native tweeted the trailer for the film earlier this week.
Sub Eleven Seconds is streaming online now on the Sundance Film Festival’s website. It will run through Jan. 30.
