LOS ANGELES, Calif., Oct. 11, 2017 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Standard 17, LLC announces \u201cHigh & Outside : a baseball noir,\u201d also nominated for Best Screenplay & Best Film at the prestigious 2017 Raindance Film Festival in London. The film premieres Oct. 27 & Nov. 1, 2017 at the Austin Film Festival. \u201cHigh & Outside\u201d is about an independent league baseball player, Phil Harding (Phil Donlon), who takes desperate measures to keep his imperiled big-league dream alive, which threatens to destroy his already fragile family.<\/p>\n

\"Actor
\nThe film casts Golden Globe nominee Geoffrey Lewis in his last starring role as Phil’s domineering father, baseball legend Len Harding. Joining him is Ernie Hudson (\u201cGhostbusters\u201d) as Phil\u2019s manager, Lindsey Haun (\u201cTrue Blood\u201d) as Phil’s wife, Jason Richter (\u201cFree Willy\u201d) as Phil\u2019s best friend, David Yow (\u201cThe Jesus Lizard\u201d) as Lewis\u2019 caregiver, Eddie Jemison (“Oceans 11”) as Sal, and David Proval (\u201cEveryone Loves Raymond\u201d) as Don.<\/p>\n

The Chicago Tribune’s Rick Kogan said, \u201cThis is a film that will stay with you forever. Gritty and honest, it is filled with great performances that show us real human beings, flawed but compelling. It is, to borrow a phrase, a home run.\u201d<\/p>\n

Geoffrey Lewis passed away in 2015 shortly after finishing the film. Lewis was truly one of the great American actors of our time with over 50 years in film and TV, as well as a staple in most of Clint Eastwood\u2019s pictures. Eastwood said, “He was a wonderful actor and terrific performer.”<\/p>\n

\u201cHigh & Outside\u201d is Director Evald Johnson\u2019s second feature. Johnson comes from non-scripted TV, along with Producers John Cook and Ellen Philips. Johnson grew up the son of his once beloved and then befallen MLB father Tim Johnson, and his story inspired \u201cHigh & Outside : a baseball noir.\u201d Dan O’Dair wrote the screenplay. Music score by Alexander Hacke of legendary German noise band, Einst\u00fcrzende Neubauten. No distributor has been selected yet.<\/p>\n
