Casting Call: Extras Needed For 'Cornhole' Movie

BLUE ASH, Ohio -- Independent moviemakers want the country to know about the Tri-state's favorite pastime, cornhole.

According to various records, Cincinnati is widely accepted as the birthplace of the game in which players take turns pitching bags filled with corn at a hole drilled into a raised platform.

"Cornhole, The Movie" is about four teams trying to make it to the national cornhole championship. One of the backdrops is Logos Bar and Grill in Blue Ash, where the cast and crew got into the action.

"Lots of energy," said movie director Tim Clarke. "You just feed off the crowd, the actors. Everybody just works off each other." Clarke said he wants to show when a hobby becomes more of an obsession.

Elaine Mello-Clarke, who plays one of the lead characters, describes what that obsession can do.

"I'm mean," she said describing her character. "I want to win. I do everything I can to manipulate the game to win."

Just happy to be in the mix are extras like Betty Baumiller, who said she has always wanted to be in a movie.

"Oh my gosh, doesn't everybody?" she asked.

The real-deal cornhole players said they are also having a ball.

"I like to describe it as stupid funny," said cornhole champ, Chu Farfsing. "We just have a great time with it."

The movie producers and actors hope this excitement eventually translates into more exposure for a film with a $20,000 budget.

"We want to make it go nationwide," said Mello-Clarke.

The director hopes to have "Cornhole, The Movie" finished in February in time for the Sundance Film Festival.

Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I’ll tell you what I’d do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That’s it? If you had a million dollars, you’d do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; ‘cause chicks dig dudes with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that’d double up on a dude like me do.

Where I come from, that’s not what “cornhole” means.

Please elaborate!

In all my years on this forum I can honestly say I never thought I’d see a Cornhole Ping.
