Directing/Writing/Acting duo, Phil Moniz and Kevin Claydon, will be in attendance at the September 19 screening.

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2025 Slamdance Film Festival, RACEWALKERS is a hilarious, heart-filled comedy that takes audiences on a journey of unlikely friendship against seemingly insurmountable odds.

Will (co-director Phil Moniz) has always loved racewalking—but could never compete. Struggling to earn respect as a coach, his luck changes when he discovers Matt (co-director Kevin Claydon), a washed-up baseball pitcher with the most flawless racewalking stride he’s ever seen. Together, they take on a sport that doesn’t want them and set their sights on dethroning the nation’s top walker (Robbie Amell, EAT WHEATIES!, CIFF 2020; FLOAT, CIFF 2023).
