The new IFC sports comedy series BROCKMIRE, starring Hank Azaria (The Simpsons, Ray Donovan) and Amanda Peet (Togetherness, The Good Wife) will begin filming in Macon later this month.

Based on a hit Funny Or Die short film, Brockmire centers on a famed Major League Baseball announcer (Azaria) who suffers an embarrassing and very public meltdown on the air after discovering his beloved wife’s serial infidelity. A decade later, Jim Brockmire decides to reclaim his career and love life in a small town, calling minor league ball for the Morristown Frackers. Peet will play Jules, the strong-willed owner of a struggling minor league baseball team located in a small American rust belt town that has seen better days.

Filming will begin June 27 with a completion date scheduled for July 13.

Macon & Middle Georgia vendors will be used for the shoot.  Opportunities for background acting will be available. Follow Macon Film Commission’s social media (Facebook & Twitter) for casting calls and up to date information on the filming.
