Playing for Peanuts - Crew
John Fitzgerald - Producer/Director/Editor
"Playing for Peanuts" was John's idea. It was also John's idea to walk away from large piles of cash in favor of retaining creative control by using his own credit cards.
John is willing to talk to the media about any of the following topics: the production of Playing for Peanuts, why Wally Backman was fired by the Diamondbacks, the pitfalls of making a TV show or film with credit cards, why Wally Backman deserves another chance to manage in the major leagues, the story of the South Coast League and anything else he can think of. Interested media types should click here to contact John.
John previously produced/directed "The Emerald Diamond" - a documentary about the Irish National Baseball Team. "The Emerald Diamond" has been seen in theaters in 30 cities as well as on PBS, SNY, MASN and Sportstime Ohio. John recently formed EMERALD DIAMOND USA - a charity dedicated to raising funds for the continued development of baseball programs in Ireland.

Bill "The Captain" Winters - Coordinating Producer & Director of Photography
Bill Winters is the cinematic equivalent of a male Annie Oakley. He shoots things better than anyone else. He has filmed everyone from LeBron James to (insert famous athlete/actor name here). He is also known to drink heavily at airports and he is known as 'The Captain' because of his smooth moves on the dance floor. That, and he drives a pirate ship.

Lorraine "Photoshopper" Robinson - Visual Effects Supervisor
If you need to digitally insert yourself into photos you were never in, the "Photoshopper" is the one to call. You also need to call a psychiatrist and possibly a lawyer.
