Sleeping Bear, the filmmaker’s path to salvationThursday, March 17th, 2011
The Sleeping Bear – official movie trailer from Richard Cameron White on Vimeo. Uninspired, 20 something construction worker, Michael Bradley Jr., finds himself caught in a love triangle between his only friend and a pastor’s daughter after accepting her offer to escape Detroit and take a trip to their cottage in breathtaking Northern Michigan … The Sleeping Bear is a low budget indie movie being funded outside any major studios, by RCW Pictures, and by the generosity of contributors who believe in the script, the filmmakers, and the actors involved. Almost the entire cast and crew of The Sleeping Bear met in film school or shortly thereafter, as interns and assistants in Los Angeles, New York, or Michigan. You’ll recognize a dozen settings, and moments, from northern Michigan in this film.
Sleeping Bear, in black and whiteThursday, March 17th, 2011
Sleeping Bear from Jack Cronin on Vimeo. Filmmaker Jack Cronin filmed this black & white montage at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore over the course of three years. Cronin writes on his website, “the film, which loosely follows the cycle of seasons, is a study of the landscape and an attempt to represent the unique character of this region.” Since 2010, it has been screening all across the Midwest, and earlier this year won awards for the “Best Experimental,” Best Editing-Short,” and “Best Michigan Short Film” at the Detroit Independent Film Festival.
Fish shy, but chili was bitin’ at Glen Arbor WinterfestTuesday, March 1st, 2011
Glen Arbor held its 11th Annual Winterfest on Saturday, February 19, featuring the popular Perch Fishing Contest, and the Chili Cookoff. Last week’s thaw made the fish skittish, so while 54 entered the contest, only about one third of them brought in a perch to be measured. The youngest competitor, Gray Raymond, caught his fish off of Inspiration Point, but was cagy about his bait. Another young competitor, Max Guilbeau, only snared a crayfish. The winners all reported catching their fish on Big Glen Lake with minnows. In First Place was Josh Plamondon (12-5/8″) at $270, the only Plamondon to enter a fish. Second place was Jeff Tavardek (12-1/8″) $162; Third, Warren Tavardek (12″) $108; Fourth, B.J. Tavardek (11-7/8″) $50 gift certificate from Art’s Tavern. Apparently we ran out of Tavardeks. Team Crowther, another long-time entrant, also scratched.
While the snowshoeing and cross country skiing reverted to hiking this weekend, downhill conditions at The Homestead and Crystal Mountain were reported to be good. A winter storm watch is in effect Sunday from noon until Monday morning, and snow is once again in the forecast.
