With baseball being the last thing on these players' minds, and dealing with one of the longest losing streaks in college history, the team of misfits comes to the realization that the school, led by the corrupt and unethical President of the University, has plans to disband the entire program. Hilarity ensues as they have one afternoon to execute a plan to fill the stadium, sign the top recruit on the planet, and help send their coach out with a bang.
Freestyle's Mark Borde brokered the deal with producer Jeff Katofsky of 108 Stitches LLC on behalf of the filmmakers.
"108 Stitches is a hilarious baseball comedy with nods to National Lampoon's Animal House," said Borde, "In addition to traditional marketing efforts, the film will be supported through numerous comedy and sports outlets."
Film star Dat Phan will host a kick-off comedy event for the film this Sunday, July 13th at Flappers Comedy Club & Restaurant in Burbank, CA.
