Red Carpet Premiere For “Batting Zero” [VIDEO]

New Hartford, NY (WIBX) - About twenty-five actors, their families, friends, and community gathered along the red carpet this weekend to attend the premiere of "Batting Zero," a locally-produced movie short about bullying.

The premiere took place at the New Hartford High School, and the children who wrote, directed, and starred in the production arrived in high style, chauffeured by limosine.

Film Instructor Chase Clifford of the YMCA of the Greater Tri-Valley says, despite the glitz and feigned glamour, the film had a definite purpose from the get-go. The children wanted to address bullying and the film was an effective outlet for that.

WIBX's Gino Geruntino co-directed and edited "Batting Zero." Danielle Trzcinski and Nathaniel Morse also oversaw the project. The list of actors appears below along with some photos and red carpet video.
