Lunenburg-Based Film Opens In Bridgewater
A movie that was filmed off the coast of Lunenburg opens is coming to the Bridgewater theatre. 'The Disappeared' tells the story of six men, stranded in two lifeboats, lost at sea and fighting for their lives in the Atlantic Ocean. Shandi Mitchell is the writer and director. She says the film hits close to home.
She says bringing the film to a local audience can be a bit frightening because she feels they are the biggest critics. It has been shown to audiences across the country after screenings at a number of film festivals. The film features a number of local actors and Hollywood star Billy Campbell, owner of the Lunenburg-built vessel 'Martha Seabury.' The movie opens this evening at Empire Theatres in Bridgewater.
