New 'Cult Classic' Film Set In Ocean City

OCEAN CITY, Md. -- A new movie, filmed in Ocean City is already being called a cult classic by some.

On Friday, "Ping Pong Summer" opens in theaters nationwide and will be available on iTunes.

Writer and director Michael Tully grew up in Frederick, Maryland, and spent summers in Ocean City.

"[He] actually came to Ocean City -- along with George Rush, who's the producer -- and met with me in the office here and wanted to talk about it, and tell us what their vision was," Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan tells WTOP.

"Michael wrote this about his experiences in Ocean City, and he said 'There's no where else we can do this movie. We need to do it here in Ocean City, Maryland. This is what I wrote about.'"

The best we could come up with in Delmar was "Redneck Zombies" shot there in the late 80's.We thought it was great at the time until we actually saw that disaster on the big screen.

That was such an awful movie! I tried to watch it, seeing as how it was made in Delmar. I never made it all the way through.
