Flagler College professors Tracy Halcomb, a resident of Palm Coast, and H. James Gilmore have screened their award-winning documentary, “Fielding Dreams: A Celebration of Baseball Scouts” around the world. It premiered at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, in January of 2024 and most recently was screened during the St. Augustine Film Festival on Jan. 11.
The documentary was directed by Gilmore and produced by Halcomb. Gilmore is a veteran documentary filmmaker who is currently the Visiting Filmmaker for Cinematic Arts at Flagler College. Halcomb is a full professor in the Communication Department and program coordinator for the new Cinematic Arts major there.
Fielding Dreams is an intimate portrait of the lives of baseball scouts, whose role in the game often goes unrecognized.
It has been recognized for excellence in documentary filmmaking by the Indie Fest and Telly Awards. It was named Best Sports Documentary at the Seattle Film Festival, received the Audience Choice and Best Sports Feature Award at the Las Vegas International Film and Screenwriting Festival and recently garnered a Special Award at the Paladino D’Oro Film Festival in Palermo, Italy.
“Even though this is a baseball story, I look at it as really kind of a very heartwarming human film,” Halcomb said.
