Help Fund STRIKE, Bill Fong’s Quest to Bowl a 900 Series, On Kickstarter

By Ernie | Thursday, September 27, 2012 | No Comments

Oh Asians. It’s not good enough to score a perfect 300, the highest score you can get in a bowling game. But Bill Fong, a happy-go-lucky bowler on the Lucky 8 bowling team in Plano, Texas is trying to prepare for a 900 – that’s three perfect games and 36 consecutive strikes in a row, because apparently ten, twenty or twenty-five strikes in a row just isn’t good enough.

Miami-based Joey Daoud is making the movie Strike, a short-documentary on Bill who is trying to accomplish this feat and be only the 22nd person in the history of bowling to do so. (In the recorded history of bowling anyway; all the bowling scores from the Sun Dynasty was wiped out in, you know, that typhoon.) Contribute to the Strike Kickstarter campaign for a chance to watch the short documentary, before it makes the film festival circuit.

Thanks for rating this! Now tell the world how you feel - Share this on Twitter and on Facebook.
(Nah, it's cool; just take me back.)
