Film setting
Film is inspired by real-life table-tennis player Marty Reisman
Marty Supreme captures the unique spirit of 1950s ping-pong culture. The film follows Marty Mauser, a young man mocked for his lofty ambitions, who chases greatness through reckless methods, leading to run-ins with the police, explosions, and dubious money schemes. Even though the story is fiction, it pulls inspiration from the real-life story of Marty Reisman, a professional table-tennis player known for his flair and quick intelligence. Kevin O'Leary and Abel Ferrara also play key roles in the film.
