 Welcome to KIDS FIRST! Coming Attractions — your VIP pass to the silver screen, packed with authentic, kid-powered insights! Today, our reporters Isabelle V. and Hadley B. are here to share their thoughts on the short film, The Short Game. If you think golf is a snoozefest, this film will definitely change your mind. In fact, you don’t even have to love golf to enjoy it—you just have to care about people. We love that the story is shown through the eyes of a teenager filming a documentary.

The film's message is to treat others with kindness, as there's always more to a person than what you see on the surface. Be forewarned, however, that it does contain some mild profanity, as well as depictions of death and bullying.

The Short Game is available in theaters on August 29, 2025.

The Short Game is a heartfelt sports film about a teenage golfer named Jeremy Avery (Ben Kriger), who’s chasing his dreams of getting a college scholarship while also taking care of his autistic younger brother, Ethan (Owen Himfar). At first, Jeremy sees Ethan as a burden, but he soon realizes that his brother has a unique and special talent for golf. As the pressure mounts and the family struggles to strive, the brothers’ bond grows closer and closer as they find their strength in each other. Their new connection leads to a big turning point at the Amateur All-State High School Championship, where everything they've learned is put to the test.
