Steve Holmes

 

For a Kansas City public TV station, Steve produced sports features and short documentaries, including a dozen on major- and minor-league baseball teams.  As an independent producer, his short, narrative film on the bush leagues, Old Timer's Day, won a CINE Golden Eagle, one of the most prestigious awards in the video business (another of his  videos also won a CINE and a national Telly Award.)  Steve's travelogue on an American environmental group's visit to Siberia appeared on Iowa Public Television.

 

His scriptwriting has won national acclaim — four times (Semifinalist in 1993 and 1997 in the Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting competition, sponsored by the Academy Foundation of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences; Finalist in 1994 and 1997 in the Writer's Digest Writing Competition.)  One honored script deals with minor-league baseball.

 

A brush with baseball greatness came when former star George Brett threw a wad of used chewing tobacco at him (Brett threw wide; he was never known for his arm.)
