“Steve Zahn gives a career-best performance in this low-key gem.”
The
Hollywood Reporter Review
“A moving portrait of small-town life and the fallout from unrealized dreams.”
The
New Yorker Review
“Calvin Marshall is well-supported by cinematography that captures the lure of the baseball diamond, and is a must-see for any baseball movie fan. Beyond that, this timeless film speaks to anyone who's had passion but not the talent for a particular skill or sport.”

MR. RADIO (short film) – Director of Photography
Director: David Derickson
An ironic silent comedy adventure about a man who becomes obsessed with listening to the radio in 1927. Filmed with 1920's-era motion picture equipment, this black and white silent short features Craig Sailor as the gullible protagonist who deifies a radio announcer and loses his personal compass. The early days of broadcasting are recreated in detail with music, comedy and politics leaving their mark on our naive hero and reflecting the power of our contemporary entertainment/news media. Filmed in Tacoma with cast and crew from Portland, Seattle and Tacoma.
