Oh, Balls
Some significant news dropped about Andrew Disney. The filmmaker relocated to Austin a few years back, but he remains a Fort Worth native and a former Visionary Award winner. His latest comedy, Balls Out, just got picked up by Orion Pictures and will receive a theatrical release on June 19. No word yet whether any of those theaters will be in this area.

The lead actor of Balls Out is Jake Lacy from Obvious Child, while other cast members include Saturday Night Live players Kate McKinnon, Jay Pharoah, and Beck Bennett; and the two members of BriTANick (Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher). There’s also an actress named Kristen Bell in the film, but she appears to be different from the Kristen Bell who voiced the lead in Frozen. Let’s see what all this talent comes to.
