In anticipation of this weekend’s casting call, Sports Studio decided to check in with the producers of the film itself, J. Todd Harris and Mitchell Peck. We asked about the movie, the casting call and of course, the sport of lacrosse– the driving force behind the film.

Sports Studio Casting: What made you decide to make Crooked Arrows?

Todd & I decided to make this movie because we realized that there was a terrific opportunity to be first to market with a mainstream lacrosse movie for a fan base of lacrosse-lovers that stretches back 80+ years, comprised of boys/girls/men/women, who are passionate and extremely loyal (“evergreen”) — and which also had legitimate “cross-over” appeal to a much larger audience.  

We knew the studio system wouldn’t make a lacrosse movie because they were primarily interested in baseball, football, and basketball sports movies.

However, we were aware of the fact that lacrosse had reached a pivotal “tipping point” in pop culture, from beloved niche sport to a fully mainstream athletic activity.

And now it’s the fastest growing sport in the country, and regarded as the “cool” sport in high schools & colleges wherever it’s played, etc.  It’s basically a mainstream studio movie with commercial DNA — broadly appealing, relevant, with a built-in audience, crossover appeal, and franchise potential — that we’re making independently.  

SSC:What is the movie about?

It’s the story of a Native American high school team which gets kissed into the prep school league finds itself on an unlikely journey to the prep school championship. Their reluctant coach is the son of Tribe’s Chairman, who has returned to his reservation to build a casino but is told he can only do that if he “reexamines his spirit,” which for his father means coaching the lacrosse team. 
 

SSC: What is the potential for this movie as it relates to what it can do for the lacrosse community?

We hope the movie will delight the rabid lacrosse base of fans who have been waiting for their movie.  We also think it can spread the gospel of lacrosse to people who have never heard of the sport or barely know – and certainly don’t know that its origins are Native American. 

SSC: Why do a open event casting call?

We’re looking for real lacrosse players. Our motto has always been that it will be easier to get some real lacrosse players to say a few lines than it will be to get actors to learn lacrosse and be credible. Our goal is to have great lacrosse in this movie. We have to thrill that base of fans.

SSC: What can you tell someone who is thinking about coming to the casting call?

Come ready to hustle and show your moves.  Check out our website so you know what the movie is about and can see Coach Ellis in action as he puts athletes through their drills.  Make sure you bone up a little before the audition. 

Any last thoughts? 

We’re thrilled to be making this movie and want the whole lacrosse world to take ownership of it and have a hand in its success.
