Amateur is a 2018 American sports drama film about a young basketball future star struggling with his personal life in pursuit of his dream. The film was released in the United States on April 6, 2018, on Netflix.[1]
14-year-old basketball phenom Terron Forte has to navigate the under-the-table world of amateur basketball when he is recruited to an elite National Collegiate Athletic Association prep school.
A crowdfunding project for the film, then known as Manchild, was started in 2011 by director Ryan Koo.[2] In 2013, a short prequel to Manchild was released under the name Amateur.[3][4] In November 2014, the name of the film was changed to its release title Amateur.[5] In January 2016, it was announced that Netflix had picked up the rights to Amateur to finance and distribute the film.[6][7]
