Tickets are now available ($25 each) for the premier of two short films directed and produced by well known island residents Greg Bourbeau (top left photo) and Finn Murphy (bottom left photo), with help from Dan Driscoll, Caitlin McDonough-Thayer, Ciaran Byrne (bottom left photo), Jeff Ross, and many others.
"She & He" stars Anita Gillette (center left photo) and John Devaney in a 12 minute short based on the play of the same name, which captured 1st prize at the 2005 Nantucket Short Play Festival. It features a mature couple taking a retrospective look at their long and tempestuous married life by re-living particular events. The film was shot on location at the Nantucket Cottage Hospital and in New York City. "In the Can" is a 25 minute documentary on the making of "She & He", and illustrates the challenges of filmmaking in general and particularly here on Nantucket. It’s a candid story of the make-up room, film crew wisecracks, romance, and tension as first-time Nantucket filmmakers team up with an imported New York production crew for the long weekend shoot in a working hospital. Open bar, heavy appetizers, film screenings, and discussion, presented by Surfside Films, Sustainable Nantucket, and the Starlight Theatre. Nantucket Cottage Hospital Staff with ID tag will be admitted free. Wednesday April 25, 2007, 5:00 – 7:00 pm. Space is limited. Call 508.228.3399. My guess is that this will sell out, so buy your tickets now. Photos by Gene Mahon from a dinner party during the shoot. More photos as Mahon About Town. |

| Tickets are now available through me, or at Bookworks and The Rose and Crown for the Arts Council’s Halfween party at the Rose and Crow, benefitting the Arts Scholarship Fund. I also expect this to be a sellout, so get your tickets early. The theme is James Bond, and costumes or black tie is encouraged. The night begins with casino games, and moves into dancing with DJ Tonic and live band Miss Fairchild. Friday the 27th at the Rose & Crown. E-mail me at emikeman@nantucket.net for tickets, $10 in advance, | ||||
