What are they working on now?

Billabunny’s first full-length feature film, Playing the Crease, tells the story of an unlikely friendship that develops against the backdrop of today’s high school experience. In confronting life’s setbacks, hockey goalie, David, and recovering stroke victim, Miss Schafer, discover that what they need to overcome these obstacles can be found in the most unlikely of places.
