Heart & Sole: the Dylan Kalambay story

Film Synopsis: In November of 2020, high school basketball star Dylan Kalambay’s world turned upside down. He experienced heart failure at the young age of 16. Over the next 6 months he had open heart surgery and not long after, thanks to the generosity of an organ donor and their family, Dylan received a life-saving heart transplant. In September of 2021, after a long and challenging recovery, Dylan stepped back onto the court… The film Heart & Sole follows his journey, forward as Dylan continues to pursue his dreams on the court, while off of it he tries to comprehend his second chance at life and his new identity as a transplant recipient.

Heart and Sole features Toronto Raptors world champion and NBA All-Star Pascal Siakam, Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, University of Calgary Dinos head coach Dan Vanhooren, and Toby and Bernadine Boulet, parents of Logan Boulet who inspired more than 100,000 to become registered organ donors following the Humboldt bus crash in 2018.
