When director Loren Goldfarb first spotted Chad “Shorty” McDaniel at a pool tournament, he figured the guy in the motorized wheelchair with tiny arms and legs couldn’t be any good. Then he saw him play! By the end of that grueling day, Chad had beaten six opponents and earned a spot in one of the game’s top amateur tournaments. 

Following Chad in the months leading up to the big event and traveling with him out West, 96 Pounds of Dynamite explores the myriad of obstacles life with brittle bone disease (Osteogenesis Imperfecta) presents, and how one man from humble roots fights low expectations and discrimination with wit, grit, and determination.
