to the Cubs!
During the course of a baseball game, radio and TV announcers chatter away, painting a picture with descriptions, anecdotes, and statistics about what's happening on the diamond.
However one announcer is often silent during a game, that is until a batter comes to the plate. The prospective hitter is announced to fans over the stadium sound system and then the mic goes silent again. This is down time for Tim Sheridan, but as the game continues, he watches and listens. He observes not just the game on the field, but also the fans, the vendors, the other announcers, the writers in the press box, and the unique atmosphere that is America's favorite pastime.
Now after nearly three decades of watching, listening, and documenting, the one announcer who says the least is finally telling the story of what he has seen and experienced on his journey with the iconic, hard-luck, Chicago Cubs. His story is...
Boys of Spring - The Movie!
The Boys of Spring documentary is full of behind the scenes, never-before-seen footage shot by Tim himself as he worked next to Cubs legends like Harry Caray and Ron Santo. Utilizing the latest graphics and effects, Boys of Spring delivers a compelling and innovative first person narrative that is fresh and hip, setting it apart from the usual sports documentaries.
The film follows Tim and his Cubs on a nearly 30 year journey as both he and the Cubs attempt to reach their ultimate dreams. Boys of Spring isn't about a team winning or losing. It's about something deeper. It's an examination of life on its winding path and how, in spite of perceived failures, there is happiness and success.
Boys of Spring - The Movie will debut with a limited special screening at Cubs Convention, January 2012 and will be followed with additional screenings in Illinois and Arizona. Then the digital download and DVD package will be released. See how you can become involved with this film
