April 4, 2007 by wilmington.
The update to the main Sea Shanty web page has been pushed off until I have 3 seconds to think. In the meantime, and if you haven’t already checked, see the Photo Page on this blog. Also, please enjoy the Luke-A-Roo page…it’s fairly self-explanatory.
I put up Derek’s photo of a very memorable moment from this past weekend at the New Bern Independent Filmmakers’ Conference. We at SSF have been big fans of Steve Zissou for many years. It was great to meet him and a few of his loyal crew. So many parallels between his work (and the community that comes together to make it possible) and the work of filmmaking…it’s uncanny.
Also - THURSDAY night at 9:30pm EDT [changed from 8:30 at some point on Thursday!!] , the Houston Dynamo play in the Semi-Finals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup. See it on Fox Soccer Channel and root for the first win by an American club team on Mexican soil. The Dynamo beat Pachuca in Houston 2-0 and will advance to the Championship Game if they win, tie, or only lose by 1. Basically, if the mighty men in orange score a goal, they’ve likely punched their ticket to the Big Game.
Also Also - Go see “Amazing Grace.” It’s the story of William Wilberforce - the man who spearheaded (spearheaded?!) the decades long effort to abolish slavery in England in the early 1800’s. The film is not perfect, but it’s got so much “meat” to it - characters, relationships, powerful moments - that you can forgive a few clunky or melodramatic moments. Michael Apted directed and the prinipal cast is outstanding (good to see Rufus Sewell who was so perfect in “Dark City”).
