First ever doc film group meets on Navy ship!





We had our first documentary film and discussion meeting tonight in the officers lounge. Things went pretty well, especially after the sound was fixed at about 15 minutes in (surround sound issues). Had a decent group of about 25. Good news - they want to continue tomorrow night!

Next film up is "The Devil's Miner" (a Tom Eckblad favorite). Fun to get back in the swing of things. It has been a year since I ran one of these things. We had Navy, Canadian and Australian military present, along with some civilians.

Can't wait for another film and discussion time.

Enjoy!

Very cool, man. How'd they like "Kabul"? And "Devil's Miner"... great choice. :)

Hi Tom. I think they liked it. Very positive feedback from some and they labeled it as a "success." We had a handful of people in the wrong area so we would have had more and then they asked to pull down some of the posters because they thought it would be to crowded. They also said maybe we could run something on the flight deck at night (how cool would that be). We are showing "The Devil's Miner" tonight and I have left "Beyond the Call," which is not that great of a movie, but kinda fits this group. I think I might write more about thoughts and feelings of the first night on the main blog page (so more people can read it).

Thanks for following Bro!

JOHN,

Looks like a lot of fun. It definetely is your thing. I still think the high and tight will serve you well. The trails are still there and we'll take it easy on you when you get back. Enjoy the experience and take advantage of the opportunity. I'm on vaction for a week but I'll check back when I return. I guess Tim gets the pool. Sorry. Have fun.
