Best Kids in Texas

Best Kids In Texas is the story of a collection of kids raised in the rugged Texas paintball scene of the early 2000s, who found one another, a mentor, and bucked the trends making their dream of playing professional paintball together a reality. After a meteoric rise filled with success, egos, ambition, injuries and personal issues would derail this group of athletes poised to be the "next big thing" in professional paintball. Written off and wallowing in mediocrity, they refused to give up their dream. A testament to grit, comrade and redemption, X-Factor would re-unite and rise again, experiencing an unprecedented second run of championship glory - a decade after their pro debut. Documentary filmmaker Dan Napoli combines dozens of unflinching interviews with nearly two-decades of photos and archival video - including 14 minutes of newly digitized rare footage - to provide a unique glimpse inside the world of professional paintball. See how a group of kids from Texas went from dreamers to the 2019 NXL Professional Series Champions 20 years later, and their rise, fall, and redemption in between.
