Tomorrow’s (Friday the 24th) benefit for the Nantucket Film Festival, a screening and cocktail party, still has some tickets left. The film is “Row Hard No Excuses”, directed by Luke Wolbach.
In this film, John Zeigler and Tom Mailhot, in the fall of 2001, jumped into a rowboat
and spent 58 days over 3000 miles chasing a dream, from the Canary Island to Barbados. Among the oldest competitors to ever participate in the Atlantic Rowing Challenge, they spent three years preparing, but once on the water, were confronted with sleep deprivation, seasickness, isolation, boredom and cramped living conditions. But they discovered inner resources they didn’t know existed while wondering if their seemingly noble quest wasn’t more lake an ill fated nightmare. An exciting sports and adventure story on the surface, Row Hard No Excuses delves deeper, illuminating an intimate portrait of two middle-aged
American men as they explore a deeply personal quest.
The movie runs from 4 to 5:30, followed by a talk led by MSNBC’s Chris Matthews and documentary subject Thomas Mailhot, followed by a cocktail reception. It’s all at Westmoor Farm’s Green Barn on Pilgrim Road. Call 212-708-1261 for reservations.
