When he was 12 years old, he had an injury during diving practice that almost cost him his diving career, similar to the events depicted in the film. Johnson is no stranger to the camera, as he has posted vlogs to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/TheSteeleJohnson\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">his YouTube channel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> since he was 15 years old and is currently majoring in cinematography at Purdue. The 21-year-old is currently training to make the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The film also stars 1992 Olympic silver medalist <\/span><b>Scott Donie<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who plays himself in the film and also serves as the Executive Producer. The film will make its online premiere on November 15th, and has been chosen as an official selection of film festivals that include the 2017 Pittsburgh Independent Film Festival, the 2017 Orlando Film Festival, the 2017 NewFilmmakers New York Festival, and the 2017 Sunscreen Film Festival.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can view the trailer on the film\u2019s
