Report of Lambeau &
Black Earth Wiffle Ball
We had a great time at St.
Norbert's College and Lambeau Field during the
Sport and Society Conference and film festival.
The highlight video includes shots
of St Norbert's college, Lambeau Field, and Rookies Clubhouse and
Authentic Regulation Wiffle Ball Field.
Here is the trophy we won. Isn't it
spectacular?

Why We Enter
Festivals?
The goal is
to preserve and share the stories of the Ghost
Players. Entering festivals is our main way of
promoting this goal in hopes of attracting a
distributor or sales agent to get our story to
more people. We aren't looking to make millions or
even thousands on this film but if we just give
the film away, we won't ever re-coop some of the
expenses of making it and promoting
it.

GHOST
PLAYERS GO HOLLYWOOD!
Film to Screen at All
Sports LA Film Festival
 That's
right, it is almost time for GHOST PLAYER to
screen in Hollywood. The film festival will be
July 10 and 11 and will celebrate sports and
competition. The movie will be showing at the
Mary Pickford Theater around 3pm on that
Sunday.
This unique sporting-film fest is
in its second year and looks to be an amazing
event. Being in Hollywood is cool enough in it's
own right but the fact that the film will be
screened at the Raleigh Studios in Hollywood is
out-of-this-world exciting given that this is
the oldest, continuing movie studio on the
planet! That's right, in 1915 back when even
baseball itself was young Hollywood greats like
Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplin were walking
in the same spaces where this event will take
place.
 Thanks to the
great people at Brand Source and Metro Studios,
we will be sending Hank Lucas and Joe Scherrman
to represent the team and movie at the
filmmaker's events on Friday, July 9th. Having
such strong sponsors believe in this movie is a
humbling experience and we will do our sponsors
proud! Teamwork guys, it is all about
teamwork!
It is great to think that Hank
will be going, as he was a former Dodger before
he was a ghost player.

Field
of Dreams Update
People
still seem to be interested in the fate of the
Field of Dreams but that we know of, no serious
offers are in play. A number of people have
expressed interest in investing or contributing
to the purchase of the movie site but $5.4
million dollars is the asking price. A group of
Field of Dreams enthusiasts are investigating
the proper way to create a fund to purchase and
maintain the tourism site. For more details
about the site contact joe@ghostplayer.us.
