Ballhawks – Chicago Premiere

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

 

Mode Project couldn’t be more excited for the Chicago premiere of Mike Diedrich’s documentary “Ballhawks” . The film, narrated by Bill Murray, tells the story of a group of regulars who chase batting practice and home run baseballs on the streets outside Wrigley Field.

Screening Memorial Day Weekend (Fri, Sat & Sun) at the Gene Siskel Film Center, tickets are available at the box office or via Ticketmaster.

We’re honored to have been a key creative and production partner from the start and we wish “Ballhawks” best of luck on the festival circuit.  A special “walk-off” congratulations to Mike Diedrich for his passion and persistence in completing this film.

Mode Project Cameo in HBO’s By The People: The Election of Barack Obama

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

As it turns out, some of the scenes shot here at Mode for HBO’s By The People: The Election of Barack Obama made the cut! You can see us editing one of the many spots we helped create over the two year course of the election. Film makers Amy Rice and Alicia Sams visited Mode Project several times during the campaign while shooting for the documentary. Be sure to check out tonight’s HBO premiere. We were lucky enough to be able to attend the Chicago screening at the Cadillac Palace Theatre last Friday night, and can’t recommend it enough. The trailer for the film is above if you haven’t seen it already. We’ll be on the lookout for the DVD release next.
