Bobbi, a rescued pit bull mix, is one of the stars of the feature film You’re OUT! , a comedy that radio host radio host Steve Dale describes as “National Lampoon’s Vacation meets The Hangover with a dog hero.”
Writer Sandy De Lisle says, “We wanted to cast a blocky headed “pit bull” dog to show that all dogs are individuals and have the potential to be family pets.” De Lisle hopes Bobbi will inspire people to give adoptable dogs–many of whom look like Bobbi–a chance at a loving home.
The film follows pro pitcher Rod Browning as he convinces his best friend to take their sons on an cross-country road trip to get the boys recruited by a top-tier college baseball team. On the way, they find a homeless dog played by Bobbi and take her along for the ride.
The real-life father-son team Edward Kaihatsu and Kenji Kaihatsu star in You’re OUT!. The principal cast also includes the real-life husband-and-wife team Shannon Brown (Halloweed, For Hannah, Smothered by Mothers) and Suzette Brown (Finding Hope and For Hannah,), and Kyle Patrick (Chicago Med and A Bennett Song Holiday).
Appropriately enough for the baseball-themed film, Chicago White Sox organist Nancy Faust, an MLB Hall of Fame inductee, adds baseball nostalgia to the film with her organ music.
And Bobbi? When she’s not starring in a film, she’s happy to be home with her dad, actor Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space, Joe Bell, and Dear Edward).
You’re OUT! is distributed in North America by Gravitas Ventures and begins streaming on major platforms on July 28. It’s currently available for pre-order on Apple/iTunes. A Chicago theatrical release is planned for late July.
