casting about

Extras are needed for a new movie to be filmed in East Tennessee. One of the actors in "The Boys of Summerville" is my improv "brother" Brad Bumgardner. The filming will take place during June in Rockwood, Kingston, Caryville and Harriman. Several of the scenes take place at softball games.

According to Terry Morrow, another baseball themed movie may be "lensing" around here in the fall. Martin Sheen would star in a Civil War drama about some soldiers who settle their differences with a baseball game rather than a battle. It might be more plausible as a hockey movie.
