When filmmaker Loren Goldfarb first notices Chad “Shorty” McDaniel in a Florida pool hall, he underestimates the man using the motorized wheelchair, until Chad starts winning. A lot. 96 lbs. of Dynamite follows Chad, a witty, fierce pool player born with brittle bone disease, as he battles low expectations, discrimination, and physical barriers on his journey from a rural Mississippi upbringing to high-stakes amateur tournaments out West. As Chad confronts personal loss and life-altering choices, the film presents an energetic, humorous, and deeply personal portrait of a man who, despite being told he wouldn’t survive childhood, refuses to shrink his life, or his ambition.
