“The Yankles”
A Homerun Comedy Hit Film
Saturday November 19 – 7 pm
Meet Zev and David Brooks, the films producer and director, and hear the story behind the film.
A washed-up former pro player, Charlie (Brian Wimmer), is sentenced to mandatory community service for a drunk driving conviction. Attempting to rebuild his reputation by volunteering to coach baseball, he soon discovers that the only people willing to give him a second chance are equally desperate yeshiva students on a quest to start their own team. While striving to lead the Yankles to the league championships, Charlie works to mend fences with those he has wronged in the past. Mixing shtick with a surprisingly sensitive portrayal of Orthodox customs, The Yankles is a feel-good comedy about overcoming bigotry and self-doubt. Co-starring Bart Johnson (High School Musical) and Don Most (Happy Days), and featuring a cameo by Jewish gospel sensation, Joshua Nelson.
