Opening Night

So much excitement filled my veins as I walked down Arlington Lane towards the SBIFF marque.

The weather was on our side, after a little drizzle in the morning, and it was a beautiful night.

I was with a few of my movie mama's:  Robin, Gail and Beth all flanked with our laminated passes.

Once inside we waiting for the sold out crowd to find their seats so we could watch "Mission Blue", the opening movie about Dr. Sylvia Earle.  The SBIFF logo was flying across the ceiling as people were finding their seats.  While waiting I was fortunate enough to catch this classic photo of the past and present mayors of our lovely town.

Here's my review of the movie.

Mission Blue, a documentary about saving the oceans and  Dr. Sylvia Earle, who as a pioneering woman in the world of science and oceanography, has worked tirelessly for decades to try to save the ocean.  I enjoyed the movie and thought it was very well made.  Fisher Stevens, a movie star and the director has made an extraordinarily beautiful film.  What also made this film special was that is was dedicated to the late Mike DeGruy, who was in the film as well.  I hope they play it again or that it gets sold and will be shown in major movie theatres.
