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.
