Our mission with the kids feature film "Play To Win" is to inspire children nationally to live healthier lives by encouraging them to spend more time playing outside and eating healthier foods. This message is apart of the film in a way that kids can learn a great message while having fun and being entertained the whole way through. "Our children's film "Play To Win" will teach kids the importance of exercise, a well-balanced diet and the value of friendship, forgiveness, and compassion toward one another." - Phillip Hammond, Executive Producer Film Synopsis It's the last day of the school year and Roger; a kid from a small town who loves sports, outdoor activities and games is looking forward to a fun summer with his friends. When Roger gets home from school he receives news that his dad was just hired by the largest video game company and he and his family would have to pack up and move to the big city. Roger quickly learns that none of the neighborhood kids from the city want to go out and play, they just want to stay inside, play video games, surf the internet and pig out on junk food for the entire summer. So, Roger comes up with a genius plan to trick all his new friends to come out to play by making them think the winner of his "Play To Win" Tournament will win the coolest and most awesome new gaming system which hasn't come out yet. This leads to an awesome summer of fun until Rogers plan back fires on him.
