VINCE, HEAR ME OUT.
When Old School came out, people started comparing me to Beanie. The kids. The big schemes. Turns out I had a few schemes left in me.
I'm Jason Centeno. Retired Philadelphia firefighter. Twenty-three years on the job. Father of six. Now I'm in Tampa building a fatherhood nonprofit called Dad Skool.
It started with a backyard cookout. Dads who needed a crew found one. Then came the parties, the adventures, the dodgeball against firefighters. Somewhere in there, the big scheme became a brotherhood.
There's a feature comedy in this. A dad keeps throwing bigger parties to bring other dads together, and discovers that the thing he's building for everyone else is the thing he needed himself.
Loud. Dumb. Sweet. With some heart underneath.
I'm not asking you to say yes to a movie off a dodgeball. Just give me a shot at telling you the story.
