Mike Faist in 'Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game' Trailer

"I play pinball all the time, it helps me focus." "Are you good…?" Check out this little indie. Vertical ent. has revealed an official trailer for an independent true-story film called Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game, marking the directorial debut of filmmakers Bragg Brothers. Starring Tony and BAFTA nominee Mike Faist (better known as Riff from Spielberg's West Side Story), Crystal Reed and Dennis Boutsikaris, Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game is based on the true story of Roger Sharpe, the GQ journalist and pinball wizard who, in 1976, helped overthrow the 35-year ban on pinball machines in New York. Believe it! This is slated for release starting in March. Based on true events, the film centers on the gripping story of Sharpe, who took a pinball machine to City Hall. The cast includes Christopher Convery, Connor Ratliff, Mike Doyle, Carlos Lopez and Bryan Batt. That's quite a mustache that Fiast has on him! This movie looks good, balancing the original comedy with the inspiring story of a pinball nerd who shakes things up.
