ONE WINTER STORY

Channelkeeper film & music night, 6:30 pm Friday April 18th at the Marjorie Luke Theater. Join Channelkeeper for a special screening of the award-winning film "One Winter Story", a unique documentary about Sarah Gerhardt, the first woman to tow-in surf the outer reefs of Hawaii and
to surf Maverick's.

The film, made by Hawaii filmmaker Sally Lundburg and San Francisco filmmaker Elizabeth Pepin, is a personal documentary that follows Sarah as she learns to surf big waves with her mentor, Ken Bradshaw, becoming the first woman in the world to tow-in surf, and eventually to Maverick's. "One Winter Story" is an unprecedented glimpse into the male-dominated world of big-wave surfing from an unusual and seldom seen perspective - a woman's. The surfing footage is an awesome sight but the fine, intensely immediate rendering of Sarah's experience is this unforgettable film's real reward. "One Winter Story" traces Sarah's strength and determination to their roots in a beautiful montage of film, voice, memory and emotion.

The filmmakers will be on hand to introduce their film and give a special Q&A session afterwards. Live music including the Jason Campbell Band and a raffle will proceed the film. Tickets are $12 and will be
available at the door beginning at 6pm or by calling Channelkeeper at 563-3377.
