The Umpire

(Sports/Comedy/Family/Date) Feature Scrypt, 50 Pages Complete, New York State (Yankees or Mets).

 A hermitous major league baseball umpire CLARK, is of the highest pedigree of family tradition and integrity for the sport, and he does NOT ever become personally involved with the teams or players. Yet he is a ringer that hits balls to relax on his days off that the NY coach secretly failed to recruit.

 Clark loses his emotional impartiality after becoming a reluctant role model for two kids of an rising star player, that suddenly lose their father ALBERT to an aneurism. During Albert's dedication game Clark allows himself to become a ballplayer for the ailing team, to provide for the kids as their father would want; his quiet life shifting from anonymous solitude to instant fame. 

 Clark now has to face angry players he has made calls on in the past, aside of umpires that wish his failure or secretly root him on, and the possible inclusion of women into his long non-existent love life. More than fighting to maintain his integrity, is his struggle to let people as Annie, a reporter that has followed his life story from the start, and especially the orphaned kids, in... as family.

Script Development Plan

 Half complete (50 pages), & rough story structure complete. Presently the plan is for Clark to attend umpire training camp in Florida while vlogging her experience while completing the screenplay's development.

A really good family film to have fun with dad, & date movie with any sports fan.

 New Era would be considered for sponsoring the vlog, & for a special edition Umpire baseball hat aside of the feature release.
