Johnny Dodgeball Reviews!

"A charming mockumentary....Carlson adeptly creates a spontaneous cinema verite quality..."
-THE READER

"Pseudo-doc packs a wallop.... If Robert Altman had directed "The Bad News Bears," it might look something like "Johnny Dodgeball." -CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Screenings!

JOHNNY DODGEBALL
will be screened at THIN LINE FILM FEST in Denton, Texas on Saturday, September 27th at 2pm at the Fine Arts Theatre.   This is a GOOD festival, because it actually has a real mission - to screen only mockumentaries and pseudo-docs.  The film is in competition for Best Feature and Audience Choice.

The World Premiere at the prestigious Gene Siskel Film Center was a fantastic event.  We had a huge turnout that included guest appearances from crew and cast members Ryan Robinson, Michael Scooter Stevens, Brad Barnett and Michael Leo Pomeranz AKA Johnny Dodgeball.  Thanks to all who came out and showed their support!

JOHNNY DODGEBALL  is an innovative pseudo documentary and in our opinion, the best film ever made about dodgeball.  The movie stars Michael Leo Pomeranz (Sailorman), Jessica Szohr (Gossip Girl, CSI Miami), Will Malnati (Stolen Summer), Kevin Chevalia (Homeward Bound), Brad Barnett, Ryan Scott Robinson, Kyle Tekiela, Michael Scooter Stevens, and Sam Crews.  Killer music is by Spies Who Surf featuring Tommy Klein.
