Chicago Dodgeball, Chicago Dodgeball…..One, Two, Three…Superdawgs!!!”
That's the the rallying cry for JOHNNY DODGEBALL, a pseudo documentary about the Chicago Superdawgs dodgeball team. Led by Johnny, their dodgeball obsessed captain, the ragamuffin gang battles through teenage baloney on their way to the National Amateur Dodgeball Tournament. Johnny coaches his Superdawg squad through power drills, strategies, and scrimmages while facing the friction caused by egos, spitballs, fisticuffs and facials. With only two days to prepare for the competition, only time will tell if the team can get their sh*t together!
The movie stars Michael Leo Pomeranz (Sailorman), Jessica Szohr (Gossip Girl), Will Malnati (Stolen Summer), Kevin Chevalia (Homeward Bound), Brad Barnett, Ryan Scott Robinson, Kyle Tekiela, Michael Scooter Stevens and Sam Crews. Casting by David O'Connor. The soundtrack features music by Chicago’s own Spies Who Surf, Tommy Klein, & Doug Corcoran.
The film will premiere in 2008.
