Heartwarming and amusing documentary about the Over the Hill Gang, a softball league for a close-knit group of old-timers who never gave up playing the sport they love. The film beautifully demonstrates that we can continue to follow our passions well into our golden years – despite the toll that aging takes on our minds, bodies, and spirits.


Director Biography - Robert Mandelberg



Robert Mandelberg is a filmmaker, published author, and comedic writer with over 20 years of experience bringing heart, humor, and humanity to the stage and screen.


His documentary, Extra Innings: Grandpa Got Game, showcases his signature blend of storytelling and warmth as he follows a group of senior softball players who refuse to let age bench them.


A lifelong observer of the absurd and the inspiring, Robert has written and performed in hundreds of live comedy shows, authored six books on magic and mysteries, and directed everything from a regional comedy troupe to an award-winning film.


Whether he's crafting a punchline or capturing a powerful moment on camera, Robert’s work is driven by one goal: to tell stories that make people feel something—and maybe laugh a little along the way.
