From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Returning Mickey Stern is an independent comedy feature written and directed by Michael Prywes. It stars Joseph Bologna, Tom Bosley, Renee Taylor, and Connie Stevens and was shot almost entirely on Fire Island, off the coast of Long Island, NY. It is the story of a former pro baseball player who discovers a second chance at life and love on the island. The film opened in theaters in New York, Los Angeles, and Massachusetts in 2003, and was released by Pathfinder Home Entertainment on DVD in 2006.
Returning Mickey Stern was also the first film ever to have four of its stars chosen by the worldwide Internet audience. Through the CastOurMovie web portal, web users could view audition video, peruse headshots and resumes, and discuss their opinions about the actors. The web site garnered the attention of Time Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Industry Standard, the U.S. News and World Report, and many other media outlets. Two million people participated in the online voting, and the winners were: Kylie Delre, Michael Oberlander, Sarah Schoenberg, and John Sloan.
