Diamond Demon

About This Movie

Diamond Demon is a curious blend of comedy and documentary that really showcases Johnny Price's unique skills. Directed by Dave O'Brien, the short film captures Price's quirky talent of throwing multiple baseballs at once, which is surprisingly entertaining. It has this lighthearted vibe, with a pacing that keeps you engaged throughout. The practical effects are pretty charming, given the era, and Price's performance as a trick artist adds a layer of whimsy. You can feel the warmth of the post-war optimism in the film, yet it doesn't shy away from showcasing the absurdity of such an unusual talent. It's a snapshot of a time when baseball was king and novelty acts drew crowds.
