Remember that one movie

The one that was shot in Davenport and Burlington?

Well, it has a title and a world premier date.

Sugar is the name of the movie and:
Sugar follows Miguel Santos, a Dominican baseball player struggling to make it to the big leagues and pull his family out of poverty. He gets his break at age 19, when he advances to the United States's minor league system and travels from his tight-knit community to a small town in Iowa. Miguel struggles with the new language and culture despite the welcoming efforts of his host family. When his play on the mound falters, he begins examining more closely the world around him and his place within it, and ultimately questions the single-mindedness of his life's ambition.
That is from the Sundance Film Festival website's description of the movie.

The first showing of the movie is Monday, January 21 in Park City, Utah.

Bees radio announcer Randy Wehofer shot some scenes in the movie. Some Timber Rattler jerseys were used for the filming as well. I'm guessing that Randy did a better job than the uniforms.
