This a trailer for the picture book "The Miracle of Monterrey" which I illustrated and it shows some of the illustrations as they were created for the book. The book itself is a tie -in for the film "The Perfect Game" which is based on the true story of the underdog team from Monterrey, Mexico that, in 1957, was the first non-American team to win the championship and win it by pitching the only perfect game ever in Little League championship history.
On August 2nd, the dvd version of the film will be released. I hope more people get to see this really inspirational story. There are some pretty good actors in it including Bruce McGill (You rock!) who played the William Tell overture on his neck in Animal House and for me when I asked him if he'd really done that, on the set for "From Mexico with Love" which was shot in and around San Antonio. Below are links to Raining Popcorn Media, the book publisher's site and a wiki link with more info on the film.
