Yates Grand
Yates Grand has finally gone digital! View the film that has been featured in the Grain Belt Local Legend Film Festival, The Babylon Film Festival, and The Square Lake Film and Music Festival.
Now we've heard the rumors, and we've seen the trailer. There seems to be a major Hollywood motion picture with some striking similarities to Yates Grand. We can assure you that this film was created in 2003, by myself and film editor and cinematographer Todd Grabe.
Let us know what you think!

Casey this is the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. The training montage made me almost pee my pants.
Any chance of a sequel?
Like maybe Yates got washed up after years of fame, after parties, and hookers. Now with the Bejing games coming up, the US needs a morality boost by defeating the Chinese ping pong team.
Thanks. We've had an idea for a sequel for a couple of years and it actually plays out kind of how you imagine it. Except Yates now owns a chain of franchised ping pong themed sports bars. He has to come out of retirement to face his arch nemesis, Force Forduce played by local comedian Chris Maddock. It's a classic good vs. evil story.
it should involve a work out montage where yates transforms from a bloated, drunk, vagrant, back to his true beast form.
I really like the song at the beginning.
casey,
place on ipod video via http://vconvert.net/.
convert any online vid to ipod or other formats via this utility.
show people on the street, at the bar, wherever...
guerrilla marketing!
uncle todd.
Brenda Foxx!
It wouldn't be a stretch for Yates to look like a bloated, drunk, vagrant at this point.
I'm still trying to decide if Brenda Foxx is a love interest or a conniving vindictive aerobics instructor that tricks Yates into her training regimen. Lot's of Cher and Bette Midler methinks.
Maybe there was a traumatic event in Yates' early life (involving ping pong balls and Thai sex performers) that was previously repressed but now comes to the fore...
Bravo! Fantastic stuff!
The old washed up athlete/where are they now has been done to death (ie. Gooden, Strawberry, or these guys: http://www.defrancostraining.com/pics/pics_meatheads.htm).
What Yates Grand needs is a new line of work. Part reality tv show star, part fledgling record label owner, with a dash of gangster to him.
I do like the ping pong themed sports bar owner idea as well.
