One pandemic later, and The Beta Test is finally out in cinemas.
Nicholas Lay caught up with Jim and co-director PJ McCabe to discuss how the project came about, the online indie revolution, and what it’s like to make a movie with your best friend.

Handle With Care – An interview with writer and star Joey Haywood
Following two era-defining VHS mixtape releases in the early 2000s, Joey Haywood and Vancouver’s the Notic gained popularity on the international streetball scene as masters of their art. Not long after, the crew broke up.
Now their legacy has been revived by Handle With Care: The Legend of the Notic Streetball Crew, a new documentary focusing on the group’s rise, fall, and rebirth.
Nicholas Lay met with Joey at VIFF 2021 to discuss how the film came about, the global evolution of streetball, and his continued passion for a culture he helped define.
