UBK Studios at Amelia Island
Their goal is to film the entire tournament proceedings and general atmosphere at the competition, but there is a catch...
they need your help. As you may know pétanque in English is not very common as there are few videos around. After looking at LUDO it was blatantly apparent that these guys know their stuff and through their proposed dvd, will give pétanque a huge shot in the arm here in the states by showing pétanque in all of its social and competitive facets.

As a member of UBK Studios I'd like to thank you for putting the good word out there. Our goal is to grow the fan base around the game of Petanque through our film. We have been embraced by the community at large, and have already met many wonderful people. We can't wait for November.
