A feature film from JPCatholic
“Pickle for Pickleball” is an upcoming feature film from John Paul the Great Catholic University. The movie follows disgraced councilwoman Ethel Wilton who finds herself at the center of a pickleball conspiracy and decides the only way to save her city is to stop the citywide pickleball tournament with the help of her unlikely friends. Check out the proof of concept trailer we made below!
