Billy Runs Boston?
2023 | 76 minutes
Directed by Tony Marra
A must-see for anyone and everyone in the running community, this heartfelt film follows the journey of a man seeking renewed purpose through trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Integrity and individual resilience shine through.
Tony Marra, a Toronto-based actor and runner ventures into the world of filmmaking with his debut feature film, Billy Runs Boston? This thought-provoking film delves into various issues facing the running community, including cheating, bullying of cheaters, over-training while injured, the pervasive impact of social media, and the deeply sensitive topic of suicide. Amidst these themes, it also celebrates the profound rewards and sheer joy of running. Complex family dynamics play a pivotal role in weaving the narrative of the film, adding depth and emotion to the story.
