It's not often that an artist introduces both a film and an album of original music at the same event, but that's exactly what will happen on Saturday, June 27, 2015 at 7:00PM at the Mayflower Arts Center.Award-winning local filmmaker and musician Tim Gebard will screen his new documentary, The Fall League followed by an acoustic concert celebrating the release of his new CD, Better Angels.
The Film - The Fall League Official Film Website | The Fall League Trailer
The Fall League captures the story of the Dayton senior slow-pitch leagues, but it goes much further, exploring the impact of the sport in regard to family relationships, the bonding and camaraderie between players, and topics of aging that are necessary considerations for active seniors. It highlights military veterans in the league, and explores the relationship between team sports and military experience. This is a “magnet” league which attracts players from Troy, Sidney, Tipp City, and Vandalia as well as Dayton, Cincinnati, Springfield and Columbus.
The movie was recently awarded “Runner Up” in the documentary category at the Indy Sports Film Fest Experience at The Arts Gallery of Ontario (AGO) Jackman Hall in Toronto, Canada. Festival director Aaron A. Weiss praised the filmmakers for crafting "a compelling story about one of the fast-growing populations in North America. This film about seniors is important in a society that can be seen to devalue its elders. It interweaves the theme of sports with issues of aging and health. It shows us that we can enjoy life and have fun playing sports at any time in our lives.” The Fall League also has been accepted for Louisville’s International Festival of Film, which will take place in Kentucky in October.

Tim Gebard is an international-award winning singer-songwriter who grew up in Springfield and now lives in Dayton. He started recording in 2010 with the album Unbroken Hearts, followed by the 2013 EP Closer to Gone. In addition, his original Motion Picture Soundtrack for The Fall League was released in 2014.
Better Angels is his third album of original material. This multi-genre offering includes songs with pop, R&B, rock, Americana and orchestral influences.
