\u201cIn a Pickle\u201d marks a significant and timely milestone as the first feature-length movie dedicated entirely to pickleball. This lighthearted and entertaining film aims to showcase the joy and camaraderie of the sport, and its competition with tennis. It will be a must-watch for both pickleball enthusiasts and newcomers alike, combining comedy, a little bit of romance and a whole lot of pickleball puns.<\/p>\n
Written by Dan Brooks, Joel Boyd and Jason Reid, the film has a completed script and is currently in the pre-production stage. It\u2019s already generating buzz within the industry.<\/p>\n
Dan, a professional filmmaker, creative, and story-teller, and Jason, music and film producer, author and serial entrepreneur, have seen and experienced the rise of the sport from different perspectives. The passionate and diverse community it supports, as well as the competition for space between pickleball and tennis they have witnessed, are the inspiration behind this movie. Adding a special touch to \u2018In a Pickle\u2019 is acclaimed comedy writer, actor, and director Joel Boyd, whose witty and relatable humor infuses the storyline with an extra layer of entertainment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI loved pickleball as a game from the moment I first picked up a paddle at one of the game\u2019s iconic sites, the original Chicken Pickle in Kansas City. But it\u2019s the community – in all its wild color and variety – that I really love. And one I wanted to show my gratitude for by doing what I do best, creating humorous and relatable content. Plus the world needs more sports comedies!\u201d says Dan Brooks.<\/p>\n
Writer Joel Boyd says: \u201cAs a comedian and writer I\u2019m always observing social questions. So what attracted me to this project, besides the sport\u2019s obvious rising popularity, is that it is about tradition. And it asks the question \u2018when is it time to examine traditions, and do they make sense to stay exactly the same for future generations?\u2019 The story is multi-generational, hilarious, and perfectly in the zeitgeist because it asks these questions in an authentic, fun way.\u201d<\/p>\n
The team is diligently preparing to bring this hilarious story to life, and \u201cIn a Pickle\u201d will be filmed in Charlotte, N.C., where the movie is located, and is set to begin production in Spring 2024, with the movie set to be in theaters by the fall!<\/p>\n
