Synopsis by Travis Norris

In 1970s New York City, pinball was banned as it was considered a game of chance. Roger Sharpe, a young reporter and pinball enthusiast, didn’t even know the game was illegal until he saw a police officer confiscate a machine. Willing to battle the absurdity of the law, Sharpe sets out to prove to the city council that pinball is indeed a game of skill and not a game of chance. This comedy is co-written and co-directed by Austin Bragg and Meredith Bragg.
