Love and Baseball

I like a good Rom-com... and I love baseball... so yeah, this was made for me. And for you too, if you enjoy sharp dialogue, likable characters, sexual tension, and a genuinely well-crafted story about life, timing, second (and third) chances, and growing up. And oh yeah, there's baseball too. Not an overload, but used wonderfully as metaphors for living.

This is Indie film making at its best. Shot on a shoestring budget using minimal equipment and only two settings, this movie FEELS far larger than the sum of its parts. It's a heartfelt look at two people who meet at the wrong moment, yet share an obvious connection that transcends time and place... and about the paths we take to get where we need to be. Max Arciniega and Tate Hanyok are dazzling together, exchanging witty banter and perfect chemistry... and making audiences fall for them, together and separately, as they call their shot, steal home, and handle the curveballs that life throws at them. Both are wonderful here.

This is a very good movie, and not a scene is out of place. Congrats to Director and EP Steve Acevedo and all involved for this charming little gem. Two thumbs way up and highly recommended. It's a 9th inning home run off a 3-2 count... but do the good guys win? Watch it and find out.
