Written By: David M. Evans & Robert Gunter
The Sandlot is an interesting case where the talent behind the camera (and in front of it, come to think of it) is concerned. Co-writer Robert Gunter never earned a major writing credit again, while writer/director David Mickey Evans had already delivered a cult treasure in the form of classic red-wagon fantasy Radio Flyer - a story that set the record for any spec script sale to that point.
Aside from providing the script, direction and voice of The Sandlot and its sequel, Evans continues to produce screenplays, take speaking tours and work on other projects, having recently founded the small publishing house Flying Wagon Books (check them out on Facebook).
The publisher's first illustrated novel, "The King of Pacoima" is still in the works, sporting some stunning artwork sure to bring a burst of nostalgia for any fan of Radio Flyer, the film adaptation of the same story.
