A No-Hit No-Run Summer (French: Un été sans point ni coup sûr) is a Canadian sports drama film, directed by Francis Leclerc and released in 2008.[1]
Written by Marc Robitaille as an adaptation of his own novel,[2] the film is set in the late 1960s and stars Pier-Luc Funk as Martin, a young boy who loves baseball and dreams of someday playing for the new Montreal Expos.[3] He is disappointed when he is not chosen for the local youth baseball team by coach Gilbert Turcotte (Roy Dupuis), but his hope is restored when his father Charles (Patrice Robitaille) decides to organize and coach a new baseball team for the kids who didn't make it onto Turcotte's team.[4]
The film received two Prix Jutra nominations at the 11th Jutra Awards in 2009, for Best Editing (Glenn Berman) and Best Original Music (Carl Bastien, Luc Sicard).
