Indie film Calvin Marshall On Demand

I doubt this is my final word on this movie but I promise that day is coming soon.  Calvin Marshall is now officially on pay-per-view.  This little indie comedy I've been sporadically writing about for the past year and a half was shot on 35mm and is finally available to watch in the comfort of your own homes.

CM's a funny and bittersweet look at childhood dreams trying to survive the merciless hierarchy of sports.  It's a narrative that is mostly about some good people in a small town -- but it does feature some exciting junior college baseball, volleyball, softball, little league, air-hockey, billiards, street basketball, darts, skee-ball and amateur bowling.  You can get the movie on most platforms so check your local cable provider.



Our cast includes: 

Alex Frost (Elephant, Drillbit Taylor)
Michelle Lombardo (Entourage, Californication)
Steve Zahn (Rescue Dawn, Saving Silverman)
Diedrich Bader (Office Space)
Darwin Barney (Chicago Cubs!)
Jane Adams (Eternal Sunshine, Hung)
Andrew Wilson (Bottle Rocket)
Abraham Benrubi (ER)
Cynthia Watros (Lost)
Josh Fadem (30 Rock, Reno 911)
Catherine E. Coulson (Eraserhead, Twin Peaks)
Rosie Thomas  (Sub Pop Records!)
Jeremy Sumpter (Peter Pan, Friday Night Lights)

The street date for our DVD and BLU-RAY is September 21st.  It has tons of extras and can be purchased directly from the filmmakers.



This NEW YORKER REVIEW  beautifully summarizes my intent all along, even when it was a screenplay we pitched to reluctant, potential producers and financiers.  You can imagine how gratifying it is to see this review in one of America's best and most resilient magazines.

Thanks for reading and for your support.
