Move over, superheroes. Step aside, Oscar-bait dramas. The real battle for justice is happening on the pickleball court.
PICKLEBALL PETE is a heartwarming, family-friendly comedy that shows how a ragtag group of pickleball misfits use their love of the sport to teach, inspire, and mildly annoy their local government all while rebuilding a community one serve at a time.

The Plot (Yes, There’s a Plot!)
In a small Florida town where nothing ever happens except HOA meetings and thunderstorms, the city council REFUSES to build pickleball courts. Outraged, a group of unlikely heroes think “Bad News Bears” with better visors hatch a plan:
They’ll enter a major South Florida pickleball tournament to win $50,000, and finally build the courts their town doesn’t know it desperately needs.
Will they succeed? Will someone pull a hamstring? Will Kevin Sorbo say something inspirational? (Yes.)
