About the Tour
Marshall Cook (former division III quarterback turned writer/director/actor) made an independent football comedy loosely based on his combined experiences from high school and college. "Divsion III: Football's Finest" will be released nationwide through Image Entertainment this November. Your college has an opportunity to host a screening with the film's stars Marshall Cook and Andy Dick. Additionally, the entire experience will be captured for a forthcoming documentary about independent films on college tours. Join us and be a part of some Hollywood hilarity!
Who: Andy Dick and Marshall Cook
What: A Special Advanced Screening of the film, a Q&A with the Director and Star Andy Dick and a Live Stand Up Show filled with comedic stories, sketches and improvised scenes followed by a 'Meet & Greet' and autograph signing.
When: October 2011
Where: Your Campus!
Proposed event format
Introduction: Someone from the student body (or a 3rd party moderator) will talk about the format for the evening and then bring Marshall Cook to the stage.
Warm-up: Marshall will introduce himself and tell an anecdote or two before introducing the movie.
Screening: The movie will be shown without interruption for 95 minutes.
Q & A / Comedy Show: Marshall and Andy will conduct a Q&A that will combine educational answers with comedic stories, sketches, and improvised scenes.
Meet and Greet: Following the show, Andy and Marshall will be available for a meet and greet where they can answer further questions, sign autographs and take pictures.
Unlike general screenings with Q & A's, that appeal more to students interested in film studies, this show will appeal to the student body at large through the movie's emphasis on athletics, the performers' doing comedy sketches and improvised scenes, as well as a meet and greet following the show.

The Movie
This ensemble comedy (trailer) follows the Pullham University Bluecocks, a small liberal arts college with a Division III football program (the lowest division in the NCAA). When the head coach unexpectedly dies, the future of the flailing football program is in jeopardy, as they have not had a winning season in decades.
In a desperate attempt to create some media attention for the athletic program and the university, President Georgia Anne Whistler hires known lunatic and felon, Coach Rick Vice, for what could be the football programs final season. Vice, an overly aggressive redneck racist, quickly becomes the team's and athletic director's worst nightmare. Vice especially butts heads with Mitch DePrima, a reluctant quarterback who was drawn to the college thinking he would play ball as a big fish in a small pond, only to find himself riding the bench in his final year.
Navigating between an insane coach, meat-head teammates, his male cheerleader roommate and the sexy new sports trainer, Mitch struggles to find himself. But Vices particular brand of unorthodox coaching, may just be the spark that Mitch and the entire team need to turn the program around and become winners!
