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.
