Our old pal Owen Schmitt will be premiering at a film premier Friday … and finally the film is about him. The name of the movie is “The Call” and chronicles the process leading up to the 2008 draft for Schmitt, two other rookies and their agent.

An unlikely bond forms between a small-town football agent and his working-class client as they face the most important year of their lives. Intimately shot with 1 camera in 10 cities over 5 months and starring top NFL rookies Antoine Cason (San Diego Chargers), Beau Bell (Cleveland Browns) and notorious facemask-breaking college walk-on turned EA Sports Video Game cover athlete, Owen Schmitt (Seattle Seahawks), The Call takes a candid look at the most crucial period in the life of an NFL hopeful and the most grueling part of the job for any agent – the harsh reality that all the training, preparation and pain comes down to a draft day phone call that may never come.

Awarded the STIFFY for Best Sports Documentary.

Hey, hey, hey … a STIFFY is a prize awarded at Seattle’s True Independent Film Festival. Check the trailer and you’ll see why it won. Of course, Schmitt was a producer, so that didn’t hurt, either.
