Although the slow International Film Festival has been going on
for a couple of days now,
there's a lot of excitement about Monday night.
Reporter in San Luis Obispo,
where I spoke to one of the actors and producers
of the film that was shot right here on the
Central Coast.
These beautiful little otters that are there in the water
and they that creature is important in the story.
That's Beau Bridges. You may recognize him as the star
of countless movies and TV shows.
He also plays one of the lead roles in the
film camera,
shot mostly in Morro Bay.
What was it like filming in the beautiful Morro Bay?
Well, Morro Bay is a real magical place.
The story takes place in a small fishing village with
a movement to bring in a big corporation and build
a huge resort that will take away the fishing business.
The film centers around the relationship Bose character Eric has
with a nine year old boy who cannot speak.
It's a story of redemption,
of forgiveness. It's about family,
but in a very unique way,
Bridges tells me. When director Jay Silverman was looking for
a town to film,
he went all the way to Ireland,
but ended up finding the perfect place closer to home.
He found it in his own backyard.
You know that Morro Bay is so picturesque,
and it is a fishing village.
Camera will be screening at 3:30 PM Monday at the
Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo.
Silverman and Bridges will be there in person and taking
part in AQ and A.
After the film, this is your opportunity to ask any
questions you have about the film,
to ask Bo directly any questions you have for him.
He's really looking forward to engaging with you.
And you can still buy tickets for Monday night.
And we'll have more information on how you can do
so on this story at ksby.com.
