Shots of Norwood in “Cornhole: The Movie”

The Enquirer is reporting that Timonthy Clarke, a 1988 St. Xavier High School graduate, has directed, written, and produced a fake documentary filmed in the local area. On Friday at 7:00 p.m., “Cornhole: The Movie” will premiere at Covington’s Madison Theater. It follows four teams battling in Cincinnati for the national championship in the fictional Hudy Center. U.S. Bank Arena was used for the sports arena, and most of the cast were recruited locally. Scenes were shot of cheering fans sitting on bleachers borrowed from Norwood baseball fields as well at Norwood Bingo, Shimmers Tavern in Fort Wright, Logo’s Sports Bar in Sycamore Township, and Sneaky Pete’s in Milford.

Mr. Clarke hopes the film gets played in Midwest theaters. The DVD will be released during Chicago’s Windy City Cornhold Tournament in July. Anyone who attends Friday’s premiere for $10 can pre-order the DVD.
