We're back in Kalamazoo after our usual game of hide-and-seek the airlines seem to want to play with our luggage every time we fly.
One of my minor objectives during the week I spent around the Media Center at the Sony Ericsson was to find out if any of the New York-based tennis journalists there knew anything about the junior tennis documentary Unstrung that I'd heard about on a non-tennis sports blog. No one did, and I was mystified, until Lynn Berenbaum at Off The Baseline posted this link.
Once I saw Rob Klug's name as the director (and the photo of Clancy Shields), I knew that "The Zoo" had undergone a name change, and this is the long-awaited Mike Tollin-Jim Courier production filmed in 2005.
I won't be able to go to New York for the premiere, but if any one in that area can, I'd love to post your impressions of the documentary on this site.

Are movies that are played in this film festival usually released on dvd or tape. Or do you think this will play in local movie theaters? Does anyone know who the junior players are that are featured in this movie?
It was originally slated to be a movie theatre release.
Sam Querrey, Jesse Levine, Clancy Shields, Nikita Kryvonos, Holden Seguso, Tim Neilly, Alex Clayton, Donald Young, Greg Hirshman and Malcolm Harrison.
Colette or anyone else who knows the deal, I just now realized James Wan is nowhere to be found. What's the deal with him, anyone?
I asked John Whitlinger about James Wan at the Team Indoor and he told me he was still not 100% from the broken wrist he suffered last May at the NCAAs.
Y'know, I was meaning to email you about this but I got OBE. I also figured that you were on top of it, as you usually are. :)
Glad you got the info, though I'm distressed that no one else knew about it in Miami. ((grrrrr))
Anyway, I've been looking forward to seeing it but can't get up to NYC for the fest. Here's hoping it's released on DVD!

$18 is that what they charge these days for movies in NYC? I'll wait to rent the DVD.
$10.00 is the standard NY price for movies -- New Yorkers will not pay $18 for a tennis movie. Courier was a terrifc tennis player -- doesn't have a clue about marketing movies!!!
2 years of hype for the movie "The Zoo" and it turns out to be a dud.
What a blunder, pricing thr tickets at $18, that and titleing the movie, "Unstrung" rather the the provocative, "The Nats at the Zoo."

only a miniscule (non-existant) percentage of the population knows about the "The Nats at the Zoo" most of the population would think it was a movie about bugs at a Zoo and for $18, unless it starred Beonce, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, etc. the chance of any one seeing the movie is zero.
