Fresh off of his 20th year in the NBA, Lakers star LeBron James will spend at least a small part of his offseason wading further into the entertainment industry.
James’s SpringHill Company will co-host a one-day film festival in Los Angeles that focuses on empowering athletes, per Herbert Lowe of the Los Angeles Times. The event—dubbed the Uninterrupted Film Festival—will be held at NeueHouse Hollywood on July 13.
The film festival will spotlight creators who “inspire the athlete mindset and ignite change through compelling stories,” per the event’s website. Featured films include the Wilt Chamberlain documentary Goliath and the hockey documentary Black Ice, with Q&A sessions following each. There will also be a live podcast recording of The Draymond Green Show. James and SpringHill CEO Maverick Carter are executive producers of Black Ice.
The festival will include panel discussions as well, with appearances from athletes such as Joel Embiid, Kayvon Thibodeaux and others.
“It’s about time that we’re able to celebrate and do this,” Uninterrupted general manager Jimmy Spencer told the Times on Sunday. “I’m shocked that no one has done this before.”
