Filmed at the Flash Baseball Complex

An inspirational but tragic true story of a teen love triangle told through the lens of elite youth baseball.

Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket/Stranger Things) stars as a youth baseball coach in the film Chance, a true story of a teenage love triangle leading to one of the two boys' tragic death. The tragedy is handled with great discretion. Sections of the film feature the fun of 6-year-old tee-ball and the best baseball ever seen on screen from 12-year-olds. Tanner Buchanan (Designated Survivor/Cobra Kai), Amanda Leighton (This is Us/The Fosters) and Blake Cooper (The Maze Runner, Measure of a Man) star in teenage roles. Pamela Daly (An Uncommon Grace/John Weld) is “Nina,” a heroic mother battling for the life of her son. Lukas Eaby and Jake Hertzman make their debuts as 6-year-old and 12-year-old Chance respectively. All score is original and performed (no synthesizer) by film composer Ian Honeyman, with heart-warming original songs performed by Angela Parrish (La La Land). The film is directed by John Crye and produced by Mike Hagerty.

Follow the journey of a sensitive jovial country youth baseball star from age 6 to 16, as he struggles to find happiness and success guided by a special relationship with his baseball coach (Modine). This story explores the emotional impact of texting and first love on teenagers, with a look inside their actual communications taken from police statements, text messages and interviews.
