Boys of Summer 3rd Base Teaser Trailer

2026 – The fourth film in the award-winning documentary series

Boys of Summer: Third Base (2026) is the most personal, raw, and uplifting chapter yet in the award-winning documentary series. As Dan’s Parkinson’s progresses, Robert returns to school at age 49 to pursue a PhD exploring improv and storytelling as interventions to help the PD community explore, discover and share their stories.

Facing institutional pushback, academic failure, and mounting Family pressure, Robert clings to the lessons he learned from his father: show up, swing big, and lead with Love. They return to the Field of Dreams, say goodbye to their beloved Oakland A’s, and run the DisneyWorld Marathon together.

Blending original music that will have you laughing and singing along, improvisation, and community, Third Base captures the humor, heartbreak, and hope of a father and son racing time and building Legacy.

This world premiere in May at the World Parkinson’s Congress was a Grand Slam! Share in the comments below if you’d like to have a screening where you live. More at www.bosmovie.com.

Robert Cochrane, PhD Yes, And...eXercise!

Dr. Robert Cochrane is a graduate of UNLV's Integrated Health Sciences department. He's researching the effect of improvisation and storytelling on Parkinson’s disease. He received grants from the Parkinson's Foundation and support from the Davis Phinney Foundation along the way. He is a popular, unique and high energy Keynote speaker, bringing joy, optimism and practical tools for people in the PD community to thrive today.

He has a background in filmmaking, with the Artisan Entertainment release, The Playaz Court, and two Stephen King-based short films among his credits. His father, Dan, was diagnosed with PD in 2001, which shifted Robert’s artistic lens to health. He made his first documentary, the award-winning Boys of Summer in 2004. There are two follow up films in the series with the fourth film coming in 2023.

He moved his family back to Walnut Creek, CA, where he grew up. He lives there with his beautiful wife, two teenagers who are, indeed, "all that" and is a proud care partner for his amazing parents.
