with video: Dustin ('Screech') Diamond movie partly filmed in Ypsilanti, 'Tetherball,' now available

At the time of filming, "Tetherball" reportedly focused on four friends who were stuck in a telemarketing job they abhor. As an escape, the crew starts playing tetherball on a nearby playground, having no idea that the activity will become locally popular.

Screenwriter and Michigan native Rick Dawson, who also appears in the film, estimated that a quarter of the movie's scenes were filmed in Ypsilanti. Here's a teaser trailer, which contains adult language.
