He won 22 major ping pong titles from 1946 to 2007 and won five bronze medals at the World Table Tennis Championships.
At 67, Marty competed in the United States National Hardbat Championship and became the oldest player to win an open national competition in a ract sport. He died in December 2012 at the age of 82. Josh Safdie is set to direct the feature, reuniting with A24, from a script he wrote with Ronald Bronstein .
An Oscar-winning actress will also be starring in the movie !.
