NASHVILLE – Nov. 25, 2013 – LINSANITY—NBA breakout star Jeremy Lin’s amazing, true story of faith, family and overcoming—debuts on DVD Jan. 7, 2014. The surprise hit of the Sundance Film Festival and a popular theatrical release this fall, the LINSANITY DVD launches pre-orders Dec. 12.
Directed by Evan Jackson Leong and narrated by Hawaii Five-O’s Daniel Dae Kim, LINSANITY follows an undersized California kid—a child of Taiwanese immigrants—who loved hoops fiercely and refused to give up. It also shows the faith and family that sustained and guided a young Asian-American through physical and societal obstacles and past heartbreaking setbacks.
