#66. Tan Lines – Tim Kirkman
It’s been a long dry spell of sorts for helmer Tim Kirkman, who presented anything since Loggerheads – a drama that was included at the Sundance film festival back in 2005. His next feature is a long shot of sorts to break the line-up – a low budget tennis comedy titled Tan Lines. Pic stars Dash Mihok, Cameron Monaghan, Kevin Sussman, Alexie Gilmore and Josh Hopkins.
Gist: Owen “Game Set” Match is one of the top tennis pros in town, employed by the prestigious Fountain Club, with sun-bleached hair, gimp knees, and tan lines that make the women swoon. But when a history of bad decisions finally catches up to him, he’s forced to pick up the pieces of his faltering career at the local YMCA club, where dysfunction is the norm. At the Y, a gang of culturally diverse, potentially psychotic, ADHD, OCD, and potentially half-special pros eagerly await Owen’s tutelage.
Producer: Gil Holland (co-produced Bass Ackwards)
